We have so much working against us.

I think this could work for us if view through rational eyes. How much more obvious could it be that creating gun control laws is not the correct approach to this problem? When will liberals pull their heads out of the sand and consider a different approach?

Agreed and agreed with both above....

One responsible citizen with a concealed weapon could have saved 8 lives today. Bet you won't hear that point of view from the news.
