sigh. i actually saw an interview with a young man at a firing range asking "why should i suffer" if assault weapons were banned, because he likes going to the range and shooting his assault rifle. he would SUFFER if he had to find something more useful to do with his time! aaargh
see what i mean? frustrating. all the dead bodies from senseless mass shootings, all the wounded and the dead and he doesn't think he should suffer by giving up his gun?!
