Look, the law is not concerned with 'what ifs' and 'possibilities'...
Isn't your whole argument based on "what ifs" and "possibilities"?
Now, suppose
ummm....
'ignore the text and lose my job, or look at the text and maybe be in an accident'
You're premises play on emotions but not facts; which makes your arguments weak. I do understand the point you are trying to make, but I'm not convinced.
The bottom line is that texting is time delayed, asynchronous communication method. You, the receiver, choose the time and place to view and send text messages. I don't see a lot of coercion happening in a vehicle when you are by yourself.
Um... Check out the armed citizen report? Google: Armed Citizen --> it the first link.
Second, you are correct. Being targeted by a criminal who is intent on killing you will probably succeed. However, It is the responsibility of an "armed" populace to contain the criminal to prevent further harm.
The second amendment is not to promote sporting purposes of firearms, its to protect the people from government. The killing of innocents is angering, frustrating, and sickening but an unarmed population is in greater danger.
To kill a bunch of school-age children like this all you need are assault weapons and a credit card, both of which are readily available and take little smarts, planning, or money.
Best we can tell, he used pistols not an assault rifle. Even the headline is counter to the actual story. But why not "sell" the story instead of report the facts (comment aimed at the news source) "Three guns were found at the scene — a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols — and a.223-caliber rifle. The rifle was recovered from the back of a car at the school. The two pistols were recovered from inside the school." http://www.freep.com/article/20121214/NEWS07/121214046/Source-20-year-old-suspect-had-ties-school-gun-used-223-caliber-rifle.
The shooter also "planned" his attack since he killed other people before going to the school. Most of these massacres are premeditated
Taxation is a means to build and maintain a common infrastructure for the good of its citizens. This common infrastructure benefits society as a whole. I don't think this is the type of taxation that 99% of people have a problem with. Redistribution of wealth for the use in social economic justice is where the divide is. Social policies impact certain groups of folks more than others - I wouldn't state that it benefits society as a whole.

I'm pretty sure they traced the guns the shooter used back to him. They were in his car and by is dead body. What do we need to track again?
