"We can hug these families. We can shower them with love, thoughts and prayers.
He stopped just short of saying let’s get the guns our of these crazy sonsabitches hands who want to kill themselves and others and make sure their name lives on.

It was amazing - and disgusting - watching MSNBc’s law enforcement and profiling “experts” drone on and on about learning to identify the mentally disturbed and recognizing the warning signs and developing better profiling tools, etc. They never once mentioned the simplest and most likely to be effective short-term solution, i.e., limiting access to guns and ammo.
Wouldn’t that be about as feasible as saying “Everybody make sure Jimmy Wayne Fremont is denied access to a can of Pepsi!”? Short of jailing the certifiable nutjobs how do you deny crazy people access to guns when about the only place they aren’t available is a drug store vending machine?
As an aside, I predict one day guns and ammo will be available via public vending machines. Sounds crazy, right? That’s exactly why it’ll happen. Because one day a GOP Prez, combined with a GOP Congress, will make such insanity possible.

There were clearly not enough guns in that movie theater. If everyone there had been armed, and wearing kevlar, and seated with their weapon locked and loaded, this immigrant-homosexual brown person would never have been able to . . . oh, he’s white? Never mind.
Or maybe he is relaxing and waiting for TPM to post the story of the two home-schooled boys (from a family of 7 children) who used knives to kill 5 family members in their home in Oklahoma. “If the good siblings had guns, this tragedy would have been prevented.”
