View original post2) Does a major terrorist attack cause you to reconsider your opinion on the gun control bill? If it does not why doesn't it change your mind?

I've no idea why an explosion killing many people, something most gun rights advocates regularly cite as an example of why gun control legislation isn't going to seriously impact these sorts of mass-murders, would make any of us change our stance. Alternatively I would think the opposite might apply, this very direct reminder that 9/11 and Oklahoma City didn't involve guns.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Good that he's caught, but "Too bad his brother died?" - 20/04/2013 04:16:34 AM 568 Views
He will be tried in federal court and executed.....just like McVeigh. *NM* - 20/04/2013 04:31:12 AM 218 Views
Yeah, maybe in like 10 years. *NM* - 21/04/2013 03:44:54 PM 218 Views
I'm thinking 7-8 years, but that overall timeline is likely accurate. *NM* - 21/04/2013 05:27:25 PM 216 Views
Nope, he will not be executed. Massachusetts does not have a death penalty. - 20/04/2013 05:33:50 AM 522 Views
