I've just seen someone comment "Mass shootings are not a problem." You see, because the statistics are low that any given person in this large country would be caught in a mass shooting, it's a total waste of time to take any steps that might prevent yourself from being one of the victims the next time someone decides to take out a movie theater/school/workplace.

"Mass shootings are not a problem." For fuck's sake! How more inhuman can someone get after outright saying "I probably won't get shot, so fuck the people who care, and fuck you to the people who do."

People in Boston asked if I was worried about the Washington snipers, and I said no, because odds of my being targeted were vanishingly small, but that certainly didn't mean I didn't want the bastards put away.

Some people are irrational on the subject of gun adoration. Fight them, but try to ignore what they say or it will make you nuts.

More reason to fight: 500 kids in the US are killed with guns every year, up 60% in the past decade:

So how many classrooms of dead kids would be enough, exactly...?

I'd say "the one with their own kids," but I've seen "tragedies happen but guns are a Constitutional right" quotes from people who've had family members shot dead.
