Edit: Every time I remember that he was killed by the hateful environment he helped create, I smile.

    Guns kill, yeah. And his guns didn’t protect him. So….

    I’ll take people more seriously about this issue once they become honest about why they want guns.

      I don’t want rapey dudes to think they can move on me without the risk of winding up dead. Same goes for cops. That’s the one social contract that they can’t disregard.

        I’m fine with people having them; I just think the vetting/training should be more thorough. Charlie got popped by the kind of gun that most would agree should be easy to buy, though. You used to be able to order that sort of thing to your house from the Sears Catalog.
