The bitch is people who don't use their first amendment rights sensibly.

It's just not going to matter how bat-shit insane the killer is, you will apply your narrative to it anyway.

Is that the First Amendment you want to squash for people you disagree with?

Measure "Sensibly", quantify it.

The problem is BOTH sides will blame the other and the rift continues and the violence will escalate :(

How 'bout examples of seriously not sensible...

Yelling fire in a theater, proposing gunplay as a way to solve political problems.

Why do you think the violence will escalate. To date there is no evidence this act was purely politically motivated. Sounds more like a mental illness issue.

I would hope that it would contribute to ending the hostile and violent rhetoric in politics.

TheMercenary 01-09-2011 02:26 PM

I have seen no example of anyone playing with guns in any of those pictures you posted.

Pico and ME 01-09-2011 02:29 PM

D'oh...semantics schemantics. :rolleyes:
