If Only Everybody Carried a Gun

GRAHAM, Wash. — Investigators believe a man fatally shot his five children in their home and killed himself after he found out his wife was leaving him for another man, a sheriff's spokesman said Sunday.

Further proof that conservatives suffer from a dissociative disorder is their response to the recent epidemic in mass shootings. If only more people could carry concealed guns, then maybe somebody who just happened to wear their gun during every waking hour and who was an expert marksman and was perfectly composed under stress might shoot the gunman before the police arrived, but obviously after the gunman had already shot one or more victims. This is absurd on its face.
