How about just locking up the madmen?

How about eliminating gun-free zones?

"This never would have happened had Matthew Murray not been able to get his hands on those weapons, " said Sarah Brady...

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah! Anyone who hates this much can also make a large strap-on bomb from ingredients purchased at Home Depot. Also, the mass murder did not occur because of armed citizens.

Those people are certainly in an alternate universe.

Madmen are not crazy - that is why they target gun free zones.

More liberal carry laws for normal Americans will cut down on whackos - or cut them down.

“This never would have happened had Matthew Murray not been able to get his hands on those weapons, “ said Sarah Brady, head of Handgun Control, Incorporated.

Apparently, this Leftist propagandist hasn’t been keeping up with events since Sept. 11, 2001.

Suicide bombers are killing far more people than madmen with firearms who should have been locked up.

So have IEDs.

If people want to kill, they are quite adept at finding very effective methods.

Had one of those targeted been armed, perhaps the madman would have only gotten a couple of shots off before someone dropped him, a method proved undeniably in Colorado.

“But the church rules, for obvious safety reasons, didn’t allow weapons on the premises”.

and

Mrs. Brady finds such suggestions dangerous and ludicrous. “What is a woman going to do with a handgun against a man with two pistols and an assault rifle?” she asked. “Adding more weapons to the mix would only have increased the carnage. What they needed was bigger letters on the sign.”

Why is that these gun control fanatics cannot see the stupidity of their reasoning?

"What is a woman going to do with a handgun against a man with two pistols and an assault rifle?" she asked.

Uh... Aim carefully and shoot fast?

"What they needed was bigger letters on the sign."

People ought to be ashamed to be that stupid.

You're probably going to regret not putting a "satire" tag on this.

It is Friday, you know, and many Freepers stop paying attention to details in the afternoon.

Effective Gun Control is liberalspeak for disarming law abiding folks. Criminals will still be armed. In what universe does the Brady Bunch think criminals will be disarmed? Not in this one, that's for sure.

It also wouldn’t have happened if he had 10 times the weapons...and wasn’t a crazy sicko.

It isn’t funny at all. Sarah Brady is responsible for countless deaths in the United States. I absolutely despise this bitch. Doesn’t she understand that even a total ban of all gun purchases would not have stopped John Hinckley?

Internet sarcasm can be fun, but it can also expose ourselves to riducule.

I thought Hillary was pure evil. But no one could be more purely evil than Sarah Brady.
