But the billions and billions spent on "the war on terror" was right? as the chances of you actually becoming a victim of terrorism were/are minute...
Incidents like this shooting damage the moral of the entire nation regardless of how unlikely you are to be directly affected, we know it's not a one off , we know while guns are so easily accessible to everyone, the next one will not be too far off. What kind of society just sits back and says well f@ck it, no matter how horrendous these shooting sprees are, no matter how appalled the entire nation is , we won't bother taking any meaningful action to stop it happening, as f@ck it not too many people are actually directly involved anyway.
No one, including myself, said that nothing should be done. You are assuming many untrue sentiments. What I'm saying is in order to understand and rectify a situation you have to look at it rationally or run the risk of overreacting and doing the wrong thing. If the American public had reacted more rationally and less emotionally in regards to terrorism the United States would never have gone to Iraq, spending billions on an unnecessary war.
Incidents like the school shooting are very rare and are not the epidemic being portrayed by the media and gun control advocates. You must understand the media promote these kinds of stories not out of concern for the public's well being but because they draw ratings and ratings equal advertising revenue.
What we know from experience with prohibition is that when something is banned criminal enterprise will spring up to feed the demand. By the way, I'm a liberal AND a gun owner.
