Of course, 9/11, Oklahoma, and Boston combined are less than a third of gun homicides each year. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 20/04/2013 09:31:59 AM

These attacks are horrific, but domestic terrorism is a drop in the bucket when compared to domestic gun violence. If you include suicides, the three terrorist attacks amount to less than a tenth of gun deaths yearly.

Of course, background checks won't eliminate gun violence. But there's a great deal of evidence to suggest that they will decrease it significantly.

Good that he's caught, but "Too bad his brother died?" A Deathwatch Guard - 20/04/2013 04:16:34 AM 563 Views
He will be tried in federal court and executed.....just like McVeigh. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 20/04/2013 04:31:12 AM 216 Views
Yeah, maybe in like 10 years. *NM* Praziquantel - 21/04/2013 03:44:54 PM 216 Views
I'm thinking 7-8 years, but that overall timeline is likely accurate. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 21/04/2013 05:27:25 PM 215 Views
Nope, he will not be executed. Massachusetts does not have a death penalty. HyogaRott - 20/04/2013 05:33:50 AM 516 Views

He'll probably be given something along the lines of the Living Death that is Guantanamo Bay. Dan - 21/04/2013 02:50:01 PM 640 Views
