AUTOMATIC WEAPONS ARE NOT BANNED IN THE U.S. – I don’t know where that ridiculous statement is coming from. I have stood next to my husband’s cousin while he fired off 20-30 rounds in seconds – from an automatic rifle. Or maybe you’re playing the semantics game, as if a “semi-automatic” assault rifle isn’t every bit as dangerous as a fully automatic weapon.

And the next person who says guns don’t kill people should have to stare down the barrel of a firing gun, because it is the most ridiculous nonsense ever spoken.

If people were repeatedly murdering large groups of innocent adults and children by putting poison in their food or water – NO ONE would say “it’s not the poison that’s killing people, it’s the people..” Yes, people are killing people but they are killing people WITH GUNS! And they are killing people, specifically, WITH ASSAULT WEAPONS, over and over and over again.

Please don’t ever say “Guns don’t kill people” again. You sound like a completely brainless, brainwashed idiot. I really can’t stand to hear one more asshole repeat that NRA bullshit.

Men can be trusted with extended-fire weapons and women can’t be trusted with ova.

Bill, My son in law and five year old grandson were killed on a dangerous stretch of highway. The state government had decided that if there was another fatality there they would spend millions on upgrades. My darlings were that last fatality. The thought that no other deaths have occurred on that patch of highway is a comfort. At least the Government did something. It is too late for the victims in Newtown, but if it means assault weapons are outlawed, then something positive will have come out of a terrible tragedy. We can’t change the mistakes of history, but hopefully we can learn.
