so asking a question is now a 'down-votable' offense on HN? WTF people? either don't answer or point them in the direction of some research. Don't down-vote, you arrogant fucks.
Seriously people, get over yourselves.

the problem then would be that only the 'important' people would have guns. I don't see any politicians giving up their security details. I don't see Diane Feinstein or Chuck Schumer giving up their 'concealed carry' licenses. Its a classic "Do as I say, not as I do."
If they can carry in their overly restrictive states, why can't the electorate? don't they have the same rights? No? because political elitism.

...speaking of 'unhelpful' to the conversation, please explain what 'We' can do about it? Nothing. The fact is that CONgress actually legalized domestic propaganda (which is what this is).
'raising awareness' does nothing as the snowden incident showed us. 1984 is the SOP now.

see my comment on being the "World Police". This country supports and props up dictators all the time. Why should we pay for a war (with dollars and blood) in another country when we can't even help the homeless here?
You as a human being will make sure your children/family are fed first, before you give to someone else, right? How is that any different as a nation?
You are confusing the last 50 years with the last 5000 years.
