Despite a stirring performance of God Bless America by Big and Rich, God took a pass. Maybe God took the advice that God helps those who help themselves, and they aren’t doing enough. Start by banning assault type rifles that have no other use than to kill people. Enough clap-trap about Greatest Nation on Earth until it is learned how not to kill your own in such large numbers. Great nations don’t kill on average 93 people every day with guns, or about 32 gun homicides – about 25 times the average of other developed countries.

@Noah Boddie Sorry, Noah. You’re the cutter. It’s been many years ago that the NRA went from a hunters and sports shooters organization to nothing more than a front for arms dealers. I still have my card from my NRA hunters safety course back in 1964 and it’s nowhere near discolored as the organization that gave it to me has become
Instead of thoughts and prayers you offer the gunman hell. A useless sentiment for those whose loved ones died on top of them in a spray of automatic gun fire. By your funny little toon, how many of those 59 shot and killed went to hell?
I see Alex Jones and others are already making stuff up. In spite of the fact that it is still a crime scene investigation and things like Antifa literature wouldn’t be released yet, in case there was an accomplice(s). Letting stuff out like that could poison a whole trial.
