Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

My mind is beginning to become numb to these tragedies. When I first heard about this shooting, I thought "only 5 dead". (Now 7).

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we were talking about background checks? Yeah, that was then. this is now.

Good thing guns are now allowed in churches and schools in Texas. That should fix things.

The shooting in Odessa proves that good guys with guns do not always immediately stop bad guys with a gun.
