Over 1,600 people die of cancer every single day.

90 people in this country die in car accidents every day.

No one really bats an eye when this stuff happens, because it's part of the plan.

On Sunday night 59 people died in Vegas in a shooting, and the country stops for it and everyone starts yelling at each other. A tragic and completely unnecessary event no doubt, but relatively small scale. Even if you were one of the 22K at the concert, you had a quarter of a percent chance of dying. That's why I doubt you'll see any kind of sweeping changes, just a bunch of extremists from both sides yelling real loud.

               Absolutely correct - Cosmo MU - 10/3 16:19:03
               You said it way better than I did - Eggs MU - 10/3 16:14:25

                    you did. (nm) - hefeweizen MU - 10/3 16:14:38
               Both would be gun confiscation would they not? FTR, - hefeweizen MU - 10/3 16:11:35
                    oh, i guess if they can stop & frisk for the sole purpose - TigerwTLP MU - 10/3 16:13:01
                         That's what stop and frisk is. Quite the quandary eh?(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 10/3 16:13:45
                              that's not all stop & frisk is - TigerwTLP MU - 10/3 16:14:41

                                                  i'm talking about if guns were banned, not illegally taken - TigerwTLP MU - 10/3 16:23:14
                                   In one case, gun bans, the person is against that - cnk ATL - 10/3 16:15:52
                                        right, i don't see how being for one amendment - TigerwTLP MU - 10/3 16:17:44
                                             I guess I was looking at it more from the standpoint of - cnk ATL - 10/3 16:19:35
                                                  that's fine. i'm against stop & frisk - TigerwTLP MU - 10/3 16:21:02
                                                       Some would argue (Tigrrrr and other cops) that stop - hefeweizen MU - 10/3 16:22:28

     millions and millions of dollars are being poured into - kmawv8 MU - 10/3 16:01:02
          Very true. Almost 500 people have been killed in Chicago - Eggs MU - 10/3 16:04:54
               It's just blasted on the news so more people know about it - kmawv8 MU - 10/3 16:07:57
