2. Here is the full quote

"“I cannot express how wrong I was,” Keeter admitted.
“Writing my parents and the love of my life a goodbye last night and a living will because I felt like I wasn’t going to live through the night was enough for me to realize that this is completely and totally out of hand,” Keeter explained. “These rounds were powerful enough that my crew guys just standing in a close proximity of a victim shot by this f*cking coward received shrapnel wounds.”
“We need gun control RIGHT. NOW” Keeter concluded.

“My biggest regret is that I stubbornly didn’t realize it until my brothers on the road and myself were threatened by it,” Keeter noted.
“That being said, I’ll not live in fear of anyone,” Keeter said in a subsequent tweet. “We will regroup, we’ll come back, and we’ll rock your f*cking faces off. Bet on it.”

5. What really gets me about this is...

Columbine wasn't enough for him.
Charleston wasn't enough for him.
Tuscon wasn't enough for him.
Aurora wasn't enough for him.
Oak Creek wasn't enough for him.
Accent Signage wasn't enough for him.
Washington Navy Yard wasn't enough for him.
University of California, Santa Barbara wasn't enough for him.
Virginia Tech wasn't enough for him.
Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs wasn't enough for him.
Inland Regional Center wasn't enough for him.
Pulse wasn't enough for him.
Sandy Hook wasn't enough for him.

But this was, because it was his own people on the line.

6. It is sad, but that is the way it usually is. A lot of people do not empathize until they are

personally affected

7. Precisely

Not so different than many of his countrymen

3. The conservative can only see up to his own nose.

Once it hits home, they will always demand action.

4. gee it only

took 58+ killed and over 300 wounded people getting in front of him that changed his mind. I always knew this and didn't have to see any carnage, at all. But you know, I'm a "librul, so he wouldn't listen or learn anything from the previous carnages or the daily mass shootings. He just had to see it for himself. At this rate we only need 2 million more shootings like this to get some semblance of gun control.
