I am not trying to fuel the fire or anything like that. I just saw this and wanted to share. It does not look good either.

Is the for the US or the world?
Interesting. I personally felt that the results of the 2008 Presidential Election were as tragic as the Virginia Tech and Aurora shootings.
Unlike the Facebook information provided, I try not to base my choices on the tragedies we face in life that are caused by mentally ill individuals or voters.
Be safe.
Its days like these that I wish that we had universal healthcare to include mental healthcare. I have to wonder if this could have been prevented?
Also this loony had those guns because his mother was one of the "prepers". The same crazies that Glen Beck preys on when he sells his end of the world preparedness kits. I am guessing she had a few screws loose too. Sadly she was noted by people that knew her of fearing her son and wondering if she should have him committed? So I blame her just as much as him.

The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

Too bad his mother wasn't prepared to end her son's shooting spree before it started. She had weapons and she was afraid of him. Had she been able to defend herself, she would have been defending 26 other innocent people. Unfortunately, she was a murder victim and the sick murderer was not confronted by anyone else who was able to stop him because they were obeying the law in a manner that criminals don't seem to be capable of.
Everyone who feels safer because Congress is considering passing legislation raise your hand.
Anyone? Anyone?
Didn't think so.
The positive thing that I hope comes out of this is to make mental healthcare more accessible. I would rather treat crazy people than to have the scared public treat all gun owners at the same level as the nuts. Time to address the root problem and not just fall back on ideological entrenched positions that do no good to fix the root problem.
Sweet graph. What is the scale? No labeled axis makes it impossible to tell how they are misrepresenting their numbers.
