These posters are tone deaf to the point of being offensive. I don't appreciate my rights and concerns being exploited to make a ham-fisted point about gun laws.

There must be a wormhole in this thread because there are a bunch of comments from 30 years ago, which is weird because they pre-date the internet (apparently civility and self-awareness were in short supply, too). What a sad, bitter, and angry nation we were back then. Thank goddess for social progress, anti-discrimination laws, and fag marriage.

Well it didn't take long to identify the the outermost paramters of potential responses. Hopefully you can find middle ground between taking it as a compliment and shooting people.

The military empowering itself to intervene in civil disturbances isn't funny, however the wingnut fantasy that armed civilians would be able to do anything to stop this from happening has always been hilarious.
I did not know the military was empowered to empower itself. Isn't this a legislative issue?

@17, It has nothing to do with opinions and everything to do with business practices. You can hate people all you want but you cannot deny service based on your bigotry or else you are breaking the law. It's not complicated.

@38, I assume this comment is directed at me and not back at yourself, although I was thrown off by your first paragraph as it has nothing to do with anything we're talking about here.
As I stated previously, background checks won't prevent every gun related crime or suicide but they have been demonstrated to be effective at reducing them. Demonstrated -- I hasten to add -- by facts and statistics, which were the standard by which you claimed background check effectiveness should be judged until you found out that facts and statistics disprove your point. Now it's about how the feds spend/borrow money or something? This must be where your superior intellect comes into play because I haven’t the faintest clue what that has to do with anything.
I would point out how our nation's neglect of mental health care is, you know, a health care problem, and that you have made your opinions of universal health care widely known here (even in this thread, weirdly/off-topically enough), so it's cute that you have a sudden and highly situational concern for health care when it makes it easy to divert the topic but I'm over it.
