Multiple deaths, including children, at Connecticut school shooting

If this were true, then we should never talk about ... anything.

 

Exactly. The idea that we haven't yet had a discussion on gun control is as ludicrous as it gets.

 

Mexico, for one.

 

Banfield just said it's believed he fired at least 100 shots.

 

We have, indeed.

Before 18 kindgergartners got wasted.

The calculus has changed, has it not?

 

Do you think there might be some socioeconomic differences between the United States and Mexico that might make a difference in how the United States would respond to a gun ban as compared to Mexico? Maybe?

 

Guns are a constitutional right in Mexico. Try again.

 

I remember when we reacted emotionally about a decade ago.

Now we have the Patriot Act.

 

Really?

Dick, while there may be differences, the Mexican drug cartels have run the country with a plethora of – you guessed it – guns. America would eventually reach the same fate.

 

I don't think you can extrapolate what would occur in the United States based upon what has occurred in what is, essentially, a third-world country.

 

No, and it never will. Doesn't matter how many of these we have. If it were going to change, it would have changed after Columbine in 1999. Yet, here we are.

Those who oppose unlimited gun access will continue to do so on the basis that it's their "right" and that they aren't the bad guys who would do something like that.

And those who support more gun control will continue to do so and go on saying "Look, I told you so".

This stuff ain't gonna get solved any quicker than the abortion debate will get solved.
