Suspected islamist terrorists with unfettered access to killing machines... Thanks NRA!

Is it possible this might be the tragedy that actually gets something accomplished against this entrenched lunacy of everyone must have a gun?

If 20 first graders didn't do it, I don't know what will.

I believe that RW are the ones who push the connection with terrorists. I am 100% for gun control at federal level. However, be very careful to suggest terrorist tie. It is a hate crime of the worst kind.

Round up all Muslims and confiscate their firearms. Don't be surprised when that is proposed. Don't be surprised if Trump is the one to propose it.

We have to assume that assholes will get guns and use them.

We have to come up with what else we can do

I for one, don't want metal detectors everywhere. I want to remain free, but we want to remain safe.

It's a balancing act.
