Predictable Gun Response

Predictability is boring and rightwing gun nuts have become quite boring. The news that a gunman has barricaded himself at the Johnson Space Center today will lead, as sure as night follows day, to several NRA-nuts declaring that...
If only everyone were carrying a gun, this would not have happened.
This is true. It would have happened differently. Instead of a lone gunman barricading himself we would be reading about an Old West-style shootout at NASA.
Things would also have happened differently if it were not so very easy for any semi-lucid wacko to get his hands on all the weapons he could ever want.
