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.

Of course, 9/11, Oklahoma, and Boston combined are less than a third of gun homicides each year.

If anything, the way events have played out , there's been a shift in favor of Firearm Ownership.

I'm just giving an account of a general sentiment, which informs all of those different issues.

Good that he's caught, but "Too bad his brother died?"

I'm thinking 7-8 years, but that overall timeline is likely accurate. *NM*

Nope, he will not be executed. Massachusetts does not have a death penalty.

He'll probably be given something along the lines of the Living Death that is Guantanamo Bay.
