In what civilized world is an emotional human being allowed to own an object that will allow him to stand in one place and kill people from 100 yards?
Recently, a vigilante in Texas walked outside of his house and killed allegedly black thieves who robbed his neighbor in Texas, and a suicidal Nebraska teenager killed innocent mall employees and shoppers in Omaha.
Both events took minutes.
The 2nd Amendment does not protect this behavior, and the NRA neglects the fact that guns AND people kill people. I don't care WHERE we live (urban or rural), we need to make guns harder to get and use against people.
Anyone who argues against severe limits for guns is advocating easy, casual murder. The 2nd Amendment protects our right to own guns in our homes, it does not protect every gun, or the unlimited use of them.
LATER:
Okay, one of the reasons this kid decided to shoot a bunch of people, he said, was to become FAMOUS. Why did President Bush grant him this wish by addressing the event at a special press conference? Can't he just call the individual families himself? Let's just inspire more nuts to go shoot people--BushCo just doesn't care about the public welfare!

Well, Pinks, I know you wouldn't expect me to buy off on your grouping the Texas vigilante with the fucknut in Colorado Springs (my home town). They're really quite different. I have to fess up to having a soft spot for the use of extreme violence in the defense of private property. But, at the same time, I reserve no such soft spot for the NRA or its extreme advocacy.
Get this! FRC ties Colorado shooting to ’secular media.’
