Look at what Timothy McVay did with some fertilizer. What about poisons? Hell people die in the construction industry all the time. Obviously you can go on and on. Point being, people are going to die one way or another. If people didn't, this planet would quickly run out of resources. So there's no reason to panic because a very small percentage of the population is killed by guns every year. Life is cruel and shit happens. If life hasn't beaten that into you by the time you die, you probably lived in a cave.
fuck you if you have such little value on human life that "shit happens" is your reaction to people getting gunned down by crazy people every year.
It's called nature fuckface. Survival of the fittest and all that. What do you think this world would look like everybody lived to be 100? So take all your due respect and cram it up your ass fucker. Fuck you pretty much sums up my response to your rude and caveman-esque response to my OPINION.
