1. I was reminded just a few minutes ago by

a gun owner that guns are not the problem but gun toting criminals are.
This shooter was a law abiding gun owner up till the point when he shot someone.

7. Well

By that logic I should be locked up because I just bought a new Glock pistol today. You'll never stop every tragedy and he shot two people, that could have been accomplished by a double barreled shotgun. So, unless you're willing to ban all firearms and risk another civil war the best solution is to allow people to arm themselves to protect against a random gunman who just snaps out of no where. You can't prevent every tragedy in life, sadly.

8. You can't lock up someone who hasn't

Committed a crime. Still more guns is not an answer. Only a fool can envision everyone carrying a gun and think society wouldn't de-evolve.

9. Given New Jersey's gun laws,

there is a chance he was violating the law.

11. Almost every state has passed some form of concealed carry over the past several years

And low and behold, blood didn't pour through the streets despite what groups like the Brady Campaign swore would happen. If they were trying to be honest, at some point they'd have to admit they're just lying. I won't hold my breath though.

2. Rather poor article.

Was there something in it you wanted to discuss?

3. fun? I guess that is your idea of sarcasm. Bad form if you ask me. My condolences

to all families and again I urge people to support Mental Health by voting for a National Medicare Policy for ALL Americans.

4. If the gun wasn't full-auto, then it's not an assault rifle

And hey, didn't this happen in a state that is notorious for having tough gun-control laws - and Snooki?

6. Yes absolutely.

NJ gun laws are rather draconian. We don't use the 'S' word here but if a legislator should ever ask me what should be banned, well it starts with an 'S'...

I live in NJ and I don't watch or go to the Jersey Shore.

5. Journalist's Guide to Firearm Identification

12. Kinda like those who think 'socialist' and 'Communist' are one and the same thing...
