People are going insane. Is this stuff happening more often or is it just getting reported more often?

Oh, I didn't make assumptions about you. I just thought you had about me and thought you'd think it weird we agree on some pretty major wedge issues.

If it wasn't a gun it would be a knife, hammer or bomb. It's not the weapon it's the psycho using it.
But there’s another group working hand-in-glove with the NRA that deserves scrutiny: the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). ALEC, the Koch Brothers-backed group that is funded by big corporate interests, first attracted attention in the wake of the Trayvon Martin killing. The group, which brings together corporate interests, right-wing lobbyist groups and conservative politicians, passes model legislation that politicians take back ready-made to their state. The NRA has funded ALEC and co-chaired ALEC’s “Public Safety and Election Task Force,”which passes model bills on guns.

Did she remove them herself or did she sort of have them removed? Reason I ask is that if there are guns in the house and there's a domestic incident, the police here remove all guns and ammo in the house (if someone tells them it's there). And they get particularly sensitive about it if the person is current or former military or LE.

570,000 per YEAR die from drugs.
And people are crying about guns.
Because the majority of anti-gun folks are pro-MJ and vice versa.
I'm one of the rare ones in the middle who is pro gun and pro MJ along with being pro choice, anti religious influence, etc.
It would be great if all people were on the side of personal freedoms and personal responsibility but, unfortunately, it seems like most just want every one else to live according to their rules.

Exactly....it is past time for EVERYONE to tell the NRA to STFU and take a backseat so America can have an honest discussion about this issue.
*Gawd forbid....the world would catch fire...after all, ownining a firearm is a god given right; I mean, it's in the bible, isn't it?*
