I see that you have pulled out the most terrible word you know and called me a liberal or at least complicit with these terrible people. The whole reason I became involved in this conversation in the first place is that it is likely that there are some rational reasonable readers who like myself do not want to end up losing our relatively unfettered gun rights as sportsmen and recreationists because of kooks who think this horrible event was some type of a conspiracy for gun control, or It had to do with mind control or that the solution lies in more guns in schools. The most disconcerting thing is that there are a fair amount of people who cannot think for themselves and have been convinced that the second amendment is to protect us against our own government. You can believe that if you want even though it says the opposite, but that is truly naïve and completely incorrect. I do not want to lose my gun rights because the public turns against people who have both crackpot ideas of armed insurrection and assault weapons with which to carry it out at least for a short time.
