    ...then why does the political left insist that the handful of incidents involving terrorists is grounds to deny law abiding people constitutionally protected rights?

    Because throwing more guns into the mix hasn't solved the problem. Still waiting for a better answer.

  2. Then provide an answer.

  3. And ... more examples.

    You need a lot more than the handful you've linked to.

    Maybe just just don't know about it because the media does not want to report it.

    Why wouldn't Limbaugh report it? How about O'Reily?

    So, depending upon how you define it, good guys use guns to prevent crime between 55,000 to 4,700,000 times per year.

    We're talking about mass-shootings. Less than 15% are stopped by "Good guys with guns." You watch too many movies.

    Whether you mod me down or not you're still going to hear a smear-campaign against the kid because somehow that excuses the injustices brought to him.

  5. Maybe the solution is to NOT disarm the victims?

    Armed victims aren't stopping shootings or deterring them. Also you have a poor sense of how targets are being sought.

    You seem to be under the mistaken assumption that somebody desiring to kill others would somehow obey gun laws.

    Somehow that person always manages to get ahold of several guns. As long as that keeps happening you get to hear this over and over again until you come up with a better solution.

    T-Mobile is choosing who gets to use their free-lane. Yes, this is bad no matter how transparent they are. You just don't see it yet because T-Mobile doesn't have their own video service (yet) to push on you.

    No, instead you should be getting checked out for a possible concusssion. That is why you purchased this safety feature.

    A car collision is a circumstance that requires reporting nearly 100% of the time. This is what you agree to when you use your license to drive. Not something that started today.

    Spare me the Nanny State bullshit. Not only is this very far away from there but it's not even a gov't device. It was a privately designed add-on service that the customer was still paying for. Privately designed, privately agreed to. It is, without question, a safety feature. This is a stupid battle to fight, you should run all the way back to the fridge with your Doritos in it so you can hide your obesity from the internet.

    Spore. I've also had to deal with Steam's flakey off-line mode. In fact Steam is a constant reminder to me of DRM in games.

    Outside of games I've had software that I've poured hundreds of dollars into spontaneously give up on me and require permission to run again. I've never had any of these sorts of issues with console games.
