Gotdamnit that makes my blood boil. The worst part about it, well, not the worst part ... the worst part is him saying we just have to accept it as a part of life ... but the second worst part is that he's so close to saying what a majority of the country would be in favor of re: gun control.
We aren't ever going to take ALL guns away from everybody. It just ain't gonna happen, at least not in the foreseeable future, and its not even something I personally support. But he says "if you're a psycho and you want to make headlines..." Hey, dipshit, that's what a lot of us are begging for! Make it impossible for "psychos" to get guns! Have far stricter requirements for who can get a gun. Make sure people that develop mental illnesses have their guns taken away until they are mentally stable again. Invest in mental health to prevent people from going down that path, and help them get out of it when they do. That's not enough in my opinion, but it's a huge first step. A step that the majority of Americans are in support of. And we'll never get to the second, third, fourth, etc steps without taking the first one.
And then he admits that he doesn't want his kids to have to go to school feeling like they need tons of additional security. Great! Let's focus on things further upstream in the pipeline that are both a) more effective, and b) much less expensive. Fuck! Fuck these monsters!
