He really rubbed me the wrong way because people should be grieving & reflecting on the Bostonians (& now, the people in Waco) right now. That OP mirrored the same lack of respect for human lives as the soulless, sadist bomber who has a propensity for using weapons that kill in the most horrific way.
It's not time for anyone who is in duck-step with the NRA to gloat about today's vote, which was bought by the NRA. Personally, I don't think it's ever the time for posting any pro-gun statements on DU. The violent massacres really bring that home; encouraging gun-control laws should be the order of the day.
You were brilliant.
