91 to 9 is good, but I sure have a bad feeling about what we are going to face because of that one sick student.

I feel so bad for the families and friends of the victim's, but can't help looking forward tohow this one actions threatens ourrights.

It only takes one bad apple to spoil things for the rest of the people.

After hearing the news.. and the questions... I started to hear a theme... ammo... 50 rounds... Hi Capacity mags.. Bought the gun legally.... Guns should not be sold in stores.

The fact that so many people died at the hands of one person deciding to use two handguns.. vs a rifle or shotgun.... will paint a picture that "handguns are bad!"

Think backwhen Hi capacity mags were not permitted to be sold to citizens. They stamped the new mags "Restricted Use." Like you could not go out and just buy twenty of the 10 round mags and still cause mass death.

Now you have one person who has done something so shocking that the people will demand something be done to make them "feel better." It is not going to change a thing.

Don't even get me started on "feel good" laws.

I dare anyone out there to actually look at their State Codes. It is outrageous what you will find. The VA code is about to drive me crazy. I can't believe they actually pay people to come up with some of this crap, let alone the fact,we voted them into office.

Funny thing, I'll bet that if the poll ends and the "No's" take it, that it will quietly fade away and nothing more will be said about it.
The results of this and other gun-related polls are overwhelmingly pro-gun. Surely the media will realize the country is pro-gun and will reverse their polarity! :)
