He (Nate Nagel) posted a very emotional if not irrational response to

He acused me of "politicizing" - as if any aspect of gun ownership
and
use in the US can be discussed in any other terms. Gun issues rank

Guns are and will be used to kill innocent people, intentionally, by

can't wish those events away no matter how hard they try.

maybe not, but you're still an asshole
