    Simple response: No.

    Explanation: I feel that expressing an opinion on a site created to express opinions is actually doing what we come here to do.

    Conclusion: If you don't like what I say, tell me why you don't like it rather than powerlessly trying to order folks around without being able to provide consequences for your insistence that I act as you want me to act.
    Fair reply. I’ll alter mine to say that imposing your politically imagined expectation on a future event says nothing about the event but merely holds up a mirror to you.

    This is not a future event and does not reflect my opinion on much other than the narratives proffered by news sources. The opinions which you seem insistent to "thrust" upon others is the mirror, but not to the folks to which you assign the opinions.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    What I responded to was your ill informed predictions of how the news media will continue to respond to the story based on future developments; in other words, “a future event” and reflection of your opinion.

    Well you better rush on over to the threads posted by people on your side and read them the riot act, because otherwise you're a hypocrite.

    School shootings have become as American as apple pie, happen so often, Americans have become desensitized to them, and the right’s solution is more guns, and more “freedom” for the shooters
    I hadn't heard that the "GUN" walked into the school and started shooting on its own.

    the fault lies with you. you use emotional arguments 'kids' to pursue your agenda of peaceful slavery. we all know you don't believe in freedom and you're quite willing to surrender the rights of others to achieve it. It's why you equate freedom to a bumper sticker cliche and that all rights can be regulated. you discard all of the founding fathers thoughts and ideas in favor of government defining it's own restrictions. you prefer safety to liberty. you prefer permissions to rights. in short, you're anti american.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    You can’t accept the fact that you loons lost the Heller vs. DC. decision.

    The Constitution prevails and so does the Second Amendment.

    Indeed.

    These far left Democratic Socialist loons appear to believe that guns are not inanimate objects.

    The thugs who use guns illegally should be banned but the left does not even want to prosecute them.

    Correct. They think the shooter was the victim of an oppressive white patriarchy and just couldn't take it anymore. Leftists seem to honestly believe any action taken in the destruction of isms, phobias and ologies they dont like is completely justified.

    Then amend the Constitution or have a Constitutional Convention.

    .

    Simply not supported by the facts. People can defend themselves without AR-15, which are used to kill more kids than they defend.
