I'd say her opening with such an openly false statement as that makes her a troll with a title, not a journalist.

Just my thoughts...

I agree, That entire article was garbage and I can't believe that yahoo even posted that.

She won a pulitzer the same way Obama won the Nobel. They HOPED she would write something factual and informative some day..

Maybe if the Government would stop buying ammo like there's a zombie apocalypse the people would stop buying so many damn guns? Maybe if the Government would just tell the people why they're spending their tax dollars arming themselves to the teeth?

Liberal media: so stupid a cave man could write it.

What a sorry excuse for journalism. Aside from the fact that it's clearly biased with an agenda, she didn't even get her facts rights. Lanza didn't use an AR-15; he used two handguns while the rifle was in the trunk of his car.

I think it speaks volumes of the general idiocy in the US right now that we have people still lumbered with the false idea that the gun issue splits the nation down party lines. It doesnt. It might split the political class down those lines, but they have agendas outside the social norm.

Another thing that is ridiculous, the suggestion that removing guns, limiting magazine capacity or any other damn thing is going to change the face of gun crime in the US. As Im sure anyone who lives there will point out, all that will be achieved by restricting gun ownership, is an armed criminal underbelly and a defenseless citizenry. The only legitimate solution to the problem of spree killing is to adequately deal with the mentally ill, and the criminals who perpetrate these offenses.

Keeping dangerous individuals away from guns, and other people, is going to be more effective long term, than merely keeping guns of various sorts, out of public reach. It will however cost billions to adequately deal with these issues, which is why the government in the country has not taken up that challenge. This despite the fact that the sorts of people they should be dealing with, keeping away from the innocent and decent people, would be just as dangerous without guns, as with them.

Wow, there's some stomach-turning garbage for you. No wonder the American public is so misinformed when excrement like this passes as legitimate journalism. Hell, she even finds time to cry a little about the 2000 election in that article.

Hey lady, if you just demonize the law-abiding gun owners just a little more next time, maybe they'll actually listen to you. Or probably not. As it turns out, people usually don't respond well to that sort of thing.

who benefits from fear ?

it sure aint the politicians

so who had the agenda here ?

Articles like this make me even prouder of the Gadsden (don't tread on me) and Gonzalez (come and take it) flags that are flying high in my front yard.

Come and take it.

That's why idiots are what they are.

You're right, though. This has been one big, fat, colossal miscalculation by the Democratic party. Some of the smarter ones are starting to realize it at this point, but its probably going to cost them dearly in the 2014 midterms, especially if this ammunition shortage persists as an in-your-face reminder next November of what the Dems have tried and are trying to do right now.
