George Takei:

But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.

Ain't that some shit?

STFU, Hannity. Who asked you to run your stupid mouth?

"The left's rush race to blame guns for every tragedy, it's sad and pathetic." From where I sit, you're sad and pathetic.

There is no acceptable excuse for owning one in light of how many treasured children & adults have had their lives snuffed out in mass shootings. If we lived in a just world assault weapons would have been outlawed after the first mass school shooting in Columbine.

Nobody on the face of this earth should own an assault weapon. It's not for hunting or self-defense. Its sole purpose is to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible.

10. Hannity is not an idiot. He is fully aware of the problem and has no serious problem with it.

Pause before giving these degenerates a pass by suggesting they're dumb.
