11. Our country is sick....has always been sick, and will always be sick.

I feel for this man and his family. All day today I've been thinking, "what if it was my child, my grand-child, my wife, my loved one.." Oh my God, how we are such a sick nation; to have such sick bastards living among us. But worse than all that, to have so many guns available that we can all just pick one up and go kill innocent life whenever we have the urge. THAT is what is so sick about our nation; and it will never change.

We are never going to collect all the guns in this country. It's impossible. We created this monster. There will always be these terrible tragedies, and more innocent life is going to die for our sick, twisted love of guns. For the NRA to even speak about this demonstrates just how utterly sick and twisted this country is today. They won't even have the decency to shut the fook up and let people mourn our loss, with out them trying to justify how "more guns" would be the answer.

In the Middle East, they live with the fear of suicide bombers...everyday, anywhere. Here, we live with the fear of some angry, hateful sick bastard picking up his gun of choice, and simply blowing away anyone he choses. It's the hell we created for ourselves. It's always been that way, and it always will be. How sad.
