Millions more people would agree. I'm also sure there are many (not all) who have lost loved ones in crimes who would also agree. It sets a dangerous precedent and we don't want it.

1I feel sorry for you guys in Texas. You've gone so far down the 'tunnel' you can't turn back. You've lost all perspective on what life without your guns would be like, so you see the only answer as increasing their prevalence. A sorry state of affairs indeed.

So then you and "millions" who are afraid of the bogey man.
These "millions" you are sure agree with you why, you are a seer with uncanny ablility?

Come out and say it, BDunnell did,--

you have a paranoid fear of firearms, and people who dare obtain them to defend them-selves.

Without regard as to whether the "expert" has any special skill or knowledge beyond the "expert" saying said same does.
Kind of like the "experts" the TV talking heads roll-out to mimic their opinions on a matter without regard to facts.

Bob, is there anyone whose opinions you value as highly as your own? AndySpeed disagrees with you — so what? Why the need to make the sarcastic point about him being a 'seer with uncanny ability'?

There are people on these forums with whom I often disagree, yet can have a civil and reasoned discussion with. You, on the other hand, render this difficult at best. Looking at your contributions on other forums (a quick search for 'Bob Riebe' and 'rhetoric' did the trick) seems to bear out the notion that I'm not the only one, though perhaps the certainty with which you hold your views is explained by the certainty of your religious beliefs, as expressed elsewhere.

Because I do not speak as if I am speaking for "millions more" who I am "sure" agree with me.

Whereas this: 'You just keep saying that, maybe eventually you will convince some how witty you are, until them keep them coming. Try posting something some time that has a point and is not grade school insult level, and maybe you will be taken seriously- oops my above response is awfully close to your rattle-babble style, ewwww, as Count Floyd would say-- that is really scary' — your fifth ever post on these forums — is entirely acceptable?

The fact that Texas has enough faith in its citizens to allow them to be armed in case another campus shooting spree is attempted.

That has what to do with this thread, much less the post/poster I addressed? (acceptable ti me yes. Is your continually criticizing other posters, ignoring to whom they were speaking or the topic at hand, acceptable to you?)

If you are going to spend time looking up old posts, not related to the thread topic, you either have too much free time on your hands, or you have fetish for what I write.
