I keep asking people why any individual *needs* to own, or should be allowed to own, any weapon that can kill dozens of people in a matter of seconds. I mean, we can't legally buy or make bombs precisely because that's all they do, so why are guns that do the same thing still legal? And gosh, guess what, NO ONE has had a good answer for that. It's all, "Because--second amendment!" and "Guns are safe in the hands of responsible owners!" and "Protecting myself!"
Yeah, no. Come on.
Obviously there's the mental health component too. And the religious bigotry component. But this is getting fucking ridiculous, pretending like toxic gun culture isn't a humongous component too.
Aussie comic who scores point after point after point and is hilarious doing it. You will find a wealth of great comebacks for all that idiocy. He pinpoints exactly where the flaws are and how to bat them back with ease. You'll love it.

I'm hoping the country is waking up to this, though I'm jaded enough to think it'll take way too long. Meanwhile I'll print this in color and find a way to wear it around tomorrow: http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/love-wins-lgbt-heart-illustration-colors-hashtag-55940101.jpg
Sad sad sad. And furious. And sad again.
