Great. They have us right where they want us.

With the proliferation of guns, we now have to be afraid of our fellow countrymen and women.

Could this be the plan all along? We know our overlords want to keep us in fear. Guns are the perfect instrument. Guns and mass shootings.

This new normal is going to take some guts - courage.

1. I thought murder rates have dropped 50% since 1994

I wasnt scared in 1994, and Im not scared now.

[Codeine]

2. I'm not afraid.

Statistically I'm about as safe as can be.

3. the oligarchy are scaring the soul out of America

Our pop culture has never been much to brag about but now it's rape culture .

[yodermon]

4. the teabagger response will be intersting

which is stronger, their fear of muslim terrorists or their love/fetish of guns?

5. Very little of our lot in life is accidental or unplanned

Someone is getting very rich off of the gun carnage - bet on it. As for the victims of the violence, the Rich consider them investments and write-offs.

6. One fallout of the last one is that the law enforcement agencies are taking the opportunity

to justify their militarization at every press conference and interview. This is being reinforced by the commentators as well.

7. That is their plan

Keep us in fear, so that the police can "protect" us.
Keep the guns flowing for all the ammosexuals, and let them kill each other, as well as some of us.

Another reason why I am going to leave the US, and find some place in Europe, where there are fewer ammosexuals as well as fewer raving lunatic christianist taliban.

8. I hear you.

I would like to buy some property in British Columbia, myself ...

[Boomerproud]

9. It will indeed take guts and courage to turn the tide.

Both of which are in extremely short supply. Happy Holidays everyone.
