 Um, the reason we’re not having a gun debate is because it’s like 6:30 in the AM, dumbass, and the only debate most folks are having are whether to fire up the coffee pot or roll over. But when everyone is fully awake we can discuss how much worse last night’s attack would have been if the militants in the U.K.  had been legally allowed to obtain sidearms at a swap meet or out of a gumball machine like they would be here in the good ole USA... Daily Kos
