LA Times article and poll

[jcr]

There's an article in the LA Times about a gun dealer in WI. He transfered a gun to an FFL in Virginia, who sold it to the VATech murderer.

The dealer also sold a couple box magazines and holster to the NIU murderer.

The LA Times seems confused that the "evil gun dealer" doesn't seem that evil -- aside from the scary guns.

Second column, just down a bit, vote in the poll: "Would you feel safer on a campus knowing that some students or faculty might be carrying guns?"

It's up to 37.7% would rather more people carrying. I guess teh other 62.3% feels safer when only the bad guy has a gun.

It's up to 39% now. I had to comment, couldn't let it go. It constantly amazes me how many people possess no logical/critical thinking skills at all.

Done - up to 40% - this poll needs some love from our community.

I never realized how easy it is to solve this problem! "Everybody just carry guns". "Just say 'yes'". Now everything is automatically taken care of. Someone cuts you off on the road, just shoot 'em. Someone disagrees with your political views, shoot 'em. Someone don't like a gay kid, shoot 'em. Someone don't like the color of their clothes, shoot 'em. Someone don't like the grade they got from their teacher, shoot 'em. Someone takes your parking spot, shoot 'em. Someone don't like their boss and co-workers, shoot 'em. What could be easier!! Oh.... but wait, geez, we're already doing that!!!

Please, do not procreate and jump of a bridge you POS. A lot of people carry guns, and you know what, that is NOT happening. ESAD MF.

Just a liberal giving insight into their personality and what they'd do if armed, and projecting it onto everyone.
