It sure would be nice if the left would stop referring to guns as if they were a virus to be eradicated instead of inert objects, stop trying to strip liberties of the law abiding and began holding individuals responsible for their actions.

But that’ll never happen. There’s no control in it.

Time to run a DNA paternity test?

Time to identify the genome of these Bad Seed bastards before they go postal and kill innocents!

Shrillary and others have demanded “sensible new gun laws” particularly, expanded background checks.

http://www.mailtribune.com/article/20151002/NEWS/151009896/-1/opinion03

(Oregon source, takes a while to load):
11 a.m.
“A federal agency says investigators have recovered six weapons at Umpqua Community College and seven at the apartment of the gunman who killed nine people.
ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge Celinez Nunez said at a news conference Friday that all of the weapons were purchased legally, seven of them by the shooter or his family members in the last three years.”

How would “expanded background checks” have prevented this tragedy? Are they proposing establishing yet another federal agency, some sort of “Bureau of Minority Reports” to anticipate and prevent these shootings from happening?

No. They are proposing gun confiscation, or making the keeping the bearing of firearms so onerous that the efforts might trigger Civil War II.

Maybe the solution is cheap, simple and effective: stop the abridgment of the 1st amendment and demonizing of Christians by the same people calling for the abridgment of the 2nd amendment.
The Bill of *Rights* ....

***stop referring to guns as if they were a virus ***

I remember an old Tv show from the 1970s in which a gun goes on a serial killing rampage. Jack klugman (Dr Quincy) yells...”WE’VE GOT TO STOP ‘IT’ BEFORE ‘IT’ KILLS AGAIN!”

Right after the Oregon shooting, an Indy Moms Demand demander claimed that Universal Background Checks would keep people from illegally buying guns over the internet and will also keeps someone from buying a gun on the streetcorner.

Right after she “claimed” to be a sports shooter and has no intention of taking away anybodys guns.

Every single one of these photographs screams out one word... LOSER! These are people that have not been equipped with how to deal with life and decided to check out while taking as many people with them as possible. That in itself tells you all you need to know about their sorry asses.

That is why I posted that picture and add the latest serial killing loser, the bi racial Roseburg killer.

The question facing sane people, “What do we do with these losers to protect society?

What we have done in the past few decades isn’t working!

She’s probably OK with sport shooting or hunting, but unless you can explain to her satisfaction why you need a gun, well, you don’t need it.
She can KMA. The 2nd amendment isn’t about hunting or tight groups.
