"It's always too soon to talk about gun control"

[robkelk]

I'm beginning to regret starting this thread.

It's grown far beyond what I had intended to be a place to actually talk about media reporting of shootings, and become a place to complain about the amount of gun control (there's either too much or too little), dispassionately announce that there's been yet another mass shooting, or get pissed off and yell at each other for not having opinions that agree.

And the way I see it, that last part's not really in accordance with the forum's rules:

Have fun, and play nice.

If we're pissed off, are we having fun? If we're posting in anger, are we playing nice?

Also, we're past 300 posts. I'm not going to start a replacement thread, or take part in one that anybody else might start.
