If only everyone at the school had been armed, the outcome would have been much different.

Just wait, people of Bob Costas' ilk will blame guns.

irked, i have always loved your humor and irony, but frankly this is not the time for it. just break character and say it outright.

Guns DO kill people. Outlaw them all and let those who resist serve time in prison taking the place of all those jailed for smoking dope.

If we cannot debate guns when people are shot, when can we?

Horrible. Most of the victims were only 5 years old. While people are the ones who pull the trigger, the availability of guns is a statement that people's lives just don't seem to be worth very much. Cars kill people, lightning kills people. But those are not instruments designed to actually kill. Guns, swords and knives are. It shows intent.

IMO the time has passed when there can be a "discussion" about guns. I have heard all the bullshit about that I can tolerate. Melt em all down. Now.
