We can call the cops "Child-shredder protectors" as well, as the only shooting they prevented that day was one of the officers going in after his wife, who was killed. They didn't even try to open the door to the classroom, just stood around and made damn sure that nobody else did anything.

You want to disarm yourself in light of that news?

Appeal to emotion is not a valid argument.

How was that an emotional argument? I was just stating the effect the weapon had on a bunch of those kids, not how awesome the weapon looked, or how powerful I feel owning one.

Do you "feel" that's incorrect then?
