"At some point as a country, we have to reckon with what happens. It's not enough to express sympathy. You don't see this kind of murder, on this scale, with this kind of frequency in other advanced countries on earth." - President Obama.

    I would add that those things you describe are systemic to other issues.

    We do not have enough jobs. When you dont have a job you end up warehoused in this nation. You end up living off the gov with no way out. Eventually you feel trapped and have nothing to lose. We think we can tax our way to prosperity. Instead we let our political class let all of our jobs go to the lowest bidder.

    I only as if you people say we can remove 1 of our rights which other ones will be up for grabs when it is politically convenient? Our constitution is designed to *limit* the government. Not make it bigger.

    One of the freedoms I have is owning a gun. It is a freedom I do not engage in. But I defend.
