Someone edited their post to correct it, but there was a comment about automatic weapons earlier that I was responding to.
Everyone here is smart enough to know that after the AR-15, the high capacity magazines, and anything else deemed 'assaulty' gets banned another crazy fucker is going to do this again right?
Then there will be calls to ban more... and then ban more... until your liberty has been whittled away to nothing. Where is the greater movement towards personal responsibility and the causes or treatment of the mentally ill? Or even a deeper introspection as to where we are as a society in general?
THAT IS MY POINT.
Banning shit isn't going to bring those kids back, and it's not going to prevent another asshole from killing more people. But I'm glad it will make everyone feel so much fucking safer and better about themselves.
I guess I have to be done here as well. There's no point in trying to instill the concept of liberty into people who would voluntarily give pieces of it up on sheer emotion.
