Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the shootings around the nation... pittsburgh, the upstate NY one...

 

a co worker came up to me in the office today, knowing I am a firearms person and was asking me about it. it really is disturbing....

 

While on the news they can use this as an excuse for more gun control, I am saying that if people had a right to defend themselves, if One person was concealed carrying there, there is a chance that not as many people would be hurt.

 

As far as the media, what annoys me is that no one mentioned how many people died as a result of drunk drivers.

 

and lastly, my heart goes out to all the people involved or dealing with the quake in Italy. I know how in NJ we do not worry about it as much... but back in Russia, I remember going outside in the middle of the night because of rumblings.

Very well said.

I think the negative reporting on every issue that happens as well as the indifference to our politicians actions has people numb. When you turn on the tv and all you hear and see is the world going to hell, while the wealthy seem to do anything and get bailed out at the drop of a hat. Couple that with narsacistic paranoia and the loss of your job, house or family and the atmosphere is ripe for tragedy. And the media will latch on to anything that furthers their ideology.
