Okay, now that I've read the whole thread and watched it devolve into a silly war of words between two factions of gun owners on this site, I have the following comment.

Keith is brilliantly spot on in his OP and it puts the lie to the idea that this larger battle is about saving lives. It's clearly not. The deaths of these poor kids and every other victim of a mass shooter get used by the centre/left anti gun faction to further their political agenda, not to save lives. And that agenda is the end of the 2cd Amendment and the disarming of all civilians.

THEY PLAY THE LONG GAME. GENERATIONAL! THERE IS NO LEVEL OF GUN CONTROL THEY WILL BE SATISFIED WITH. EVERY REGULATION IS A STEP TOWARDS DISARMAMENT.

Where was the incessant coverage of Sutherland Springs from a few months ago? More dead but the shooter was stopped by a guy with an AR-15. CNN and the rest sure dropped that story like a hot potato Because it could not be used to make progress against gun ownership.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
