[doxydad]

In a press conference Saturday, the father of 20-year-old student who was killed in the University of California Santa Barbara shooting rampage blames "craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA" for his son's death.

Richard Martinez, says his son Christopher Martinez was one of those killed in the shooting that claimed seven in the Isla Vista area near UCSB on Friday night. The father went on to say "When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, 'Stop this madness!' Too many have died. We should say to ourselves, 'Not one more!'"

Wayne Smallpeter and his NRA gun nut buddies should be forced to watch this poor dad's grief...over and over untilthey memorize it. Something has to change.

[enough]

1. They don't care about his grief. They laugh at his grief, and then they find a way

to use his grief to generate more gun sales. "Afraid your children might die in a shooting? Buy some more guns to protect them."

[alsame]

2. This is exactly right. nt

[JanMichael]

3. Exactly- the current crop of gun loons could care less

the NRA USED to be about gun safety- and that went away with Charlton Heston, in my opinion.

[lastlib]

5. it goes farther back than that.....

I put it at the point the Bradys started organizing after the Reagan assassination attempt.

[liberal N proud]

4. The gun nuts right to own gunS trumps the rights of victims to have a life.

That is the current mentality of politicians, NRA and gun nuts everywhere.

[mountain grammy]

6. when it comes to guns, there are literally no morals or values involved.

It's all about profits for the corporations and the incredible evil of the NRA and other gun loving, people hating groups.

7. I wonder what would happen

if restrictions were placed on the sale, purchase and manufacture of ammunition?

9. As long as it was not a de facto ban no problem

It is covered by the 2A so while it can be regulated the rules of judicial strict scrutiny still applied so if your goal is to make it impossible to own you will fail.

11. Not impossible.

Just time consuming, expensive and otherwise inconvenient.

[hack89]

12. Hard to imagine that happening. Nt

[sulphurdunn]

13. Yea, that would really

boil the pot.

[The Blue Flower]

8. I'm certain the death threats have already started

We're all in the crosshairs.

[MohRokTah]

10. Countdown for the death threats against this poor man.

You know the gun humpers will do it.
