FULL TEXT BELOW:
The knee-jerk, "oops, this happened again" response by Congress to recent shootings sprees is disgusting.
Scrambling to act upon the much-publicized incidents in an election year, legislators are at fault for not passing a national assault weapons ban and tolerating an out-of-control gun culture permitted to be acted out in our movie theaters and on our streets.
Rather, they take care not to rattle the cage of the biggest campaign contributor, lest the National Rifle Association is offended.
Forget mental illness, guns and their easy access to anyone are the common denominator in all these events.
Let's hope the next gunshot wound is not another wakeup call unheeded.

KABA Note: Um, Steph? The murderer didn't use an 'assault weapon', he used a pump shotgun and pistols. |

Um...
I could be wrong, but other than the clothing store shooting,the 'common denominator in all these events' was "off his meds."
Maybe what we need is a five day waiting period against Ritilin |

No the common denominator here is a sign and idiots like you dancing in the blood of the innocent. |

| Nope, what is common is the GUN FREE ZONE illusion of safety. |

| I wonder how quickly Stephanie would yell for someone with a gun if she were ever confronted with a violent person. Usually your throat just closes right up and all you can do is squeak and moan. Steel in your hand puts steel in your spine. |

| Here we go again. A bunch of innocent people died again with no means of fighting back or protection. Here's another example of big government force itself on to the innocent people by taking away there rights to protect themself. If I remember my history right, that's what Hilter told the Germany people, we are going to protect you. From who. What going on in this country is that we are letting big government insert itself, and letting it take away our rights to protect ourselves, our home, our family, our neighbors and our land. We are let them do what the founding father we afriad of, big government. |

"...legislators are at fault for not passing a national assault weapons ban..."
We've been there, done that, and the government's own study said it didn't work. Got any more bright ideas, Stephanie? |

See. It's not "assault weapons". It's all those "sporting arms" she wants nixed. Possibly followed by pograms to round up and isolate the so-called gun cult[ure].
A totally parochial/gun-banner attitude. |

"Rather, they take care not to rattle the cage of the biggest campaign contributor, lest the National Rifle Association is offended." But, but, but, the NRA did take care of that. They partnered with the likes of Carolyn McCarthy and Chuck Schumer to pass the "Brady Enhancement Act". Don't you fewell all toasty-wosty inside? I'll bet the NRA likes all the positive press.
