What is common sense? I have to tread lightly here. The reality is firearms are made for killing, that's their intended purpose. The fact that people kill other people with tools made for killing people seem to upset folks. Not the fact that people thought it was okay to kill other people, not goading people into angry responses and taunting them and belittling them. That is actually okay. Judging by the rhetoric of last month, punching people in the face is okay if you disagree with their beliefs. That's all okay, but having a killing instrument that kills better than another killing instrument is shocking?

 My issue is, we are okay with setting the stage, we seem to exult in name calling, political grandstanding and just one long joygasm of hate if anyone differs with us and all in the name of free speech. We can't limit that, its in the constitution. But the gun thing, well that's just outdated and needs to go away, right? I sense a paradox.
