The news and links as posted today. What will the media spin out of this terrible tragedy? The anti-gun lobby will make hay. The mass hysteria of a mass killing will, I hope, cause a lot of soul searching, empathizing, praying and honest reflection. Unfortunately, as evidenced by various headlines and by-lines, the blood-capitalists have already set in motion the propaganda campaign to further whittle away your right to defend yourself. Yes, those of us who are law abiding citizens and value our right to defend ourselves via the Second Amendment will become the enemy of the left once again.

Those of us who, had only one of us been present today, tragedy would have been averted, prefer to be prepared to defend against maniacs than be their victims, will be made into gun toting whack jobs worthy of scorn and derision. Guns are BAD. If I would have been there, as the first rounds were fired, armed and prepared, perhaps thirty people would still be alive. If anyone like me, highly trained and proficient, had been there rather than the hysteria that paralyzed all who died and those who stood by and witnessed the mayhem, maybe we would be having a very different discussion.

God bless and give comfort to those who died and those who mourn them, those who are struggling from their injuries and all impacted by this terrible tragedy. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to those who are suffering as a result of this utterly senseless tragedy.
