The question America must face on shooting (Opinion) - CNN.com

"A child was killed Friday because that child went to school."
When the opening line of the article is a lie you know what the tone will be that follows, especially when it claims (courtesy of MDA) that this is the 50th school shooting this year. So the author has let me know by the second paragraph that article is a waste of my time.

They're acting out, demanding attention and rejecting curbs on their desires. That's not being a citizen. It's being a toddler.

Huh, the author is an instructor at Tactical Response.

At least he could have explained how the legislation he supports would have prevented any of these incidents? Oh, right, he can't because it wouldn't have.

I couldn't agree more OakRiver. This child was not killed simply for going to school. He was killed because a fellow student was bent on inflicting harm and murdering fellow classmates.

The writer couldn't even get through the first line without shifting the blame away from the perpetrator where it belongs.

Later he shifts his attention to open carry activists bringing rifles into Kroger, calling the behavior infantile and laughable. Unfortunately for him, Constitutional rights protect all types of citizen behavior, not just those that he agrees with and deems acceptable.

The more I see these same tired (read FALSE) talking points trotted out over and over, the more confident I am that 2A supporters are winning the conversation. We must continue to hammer these silly, manipulated arguments.

I couldn't have said it better.

My brain hurts from this kind of stupidity. To top it off, he was a part of the top office in this country at one time, and with thinking such as his, it is no wonder why are country stands the way it does today. I can't understand how someone without basic logic can become an influential person in our government. The stupidity of it all....

You managed to make it further into the article than I. It sounds like he just repeated all the MDA talking points and tried to connect together a lot of disparate issues united by nothing more than the presence (legal or otherwise) of a firearm. My bottom line is this; if you have to lie, obfuscate, or otherwise act in a disingenuous manner then you have nothing to say that I want to hear.

By that logic everyone ever killed in a vehicular accident died simply because they owned a motor vehicle or was a passenger in one. Oh please....... This guy is an overeducated fool. I'll bet that he actually believes the TSA has prevented any terrorist skyjackings since 9-11 too.
