Reply #53: I'm not afraid of dying in a mass murder. I don't have to be to be outraged by the ease

with which these nuts get a hold of all the guns they want. The Virginia Tech killer had a documented record of mental illness, which probably would have prevented him from obtaining his guns if John Ashcroft had not thrown out all sensible rules for purchasing firearms; as if simply wanting the guns wasn't a pretty big indicator of mental illness. He didn't steal the guns from a law-abiding gun-owner. He didn't purchase them out of a car trunk from some 500-pound guy named Manny down a back alley. He didn't get them from a gun show, where the only background check is "Well, Cooter, he don't look Arabic or nothin'. I s'pose he's okay." He walked right into a gun store and laid his money down. Tell me that's how things should be in this country...

I don't live in fear. It's a terrible way to live. People who live in fear are people who buy guns. Lots of guns.

I'm not afraid of anything...
