Well, so much of everything else you said was complete and utter crap
that I guess I didn't have the energy to read your mind instead of
reading what you wrote.
Sorry, but that lead-in (if you support the right to own a gun you
must think the lives of the poor kids who were killed at school don't
matter) turned my stomach.

Sorry, but I still don't buy what you seem to be saying. People are
responsible for their actions, whether they have to beat someone for
10 minutes with a baseball bat or pull a trigger one time.
