This will embolden the gun nuts

[Riccardo]

This is silly

Looked like law enforcement to me, the ones who should have the assault weaponry. Should send the opposite message to the nuts, especially if they think they might need to defend against their own government. Doubt they could fend off a home invasion let alone start an insurgency against the corrupt US government.

Yeah for the 100 or so loons out there that think the government is going to get them, you might be right. But for the millions of rational gun owners or potential gun owners, the knowledge that islamic terrorists are out there in our country willing and ready to kill us and our families... even more guns and ammo will be purchased.

Yeah, it's silly to think a gun is a guarantee of defense against a suicidal terrorist. I believe the cop that was killed at MIT was armed.

[Riccardo]

yeah that proves it

we are defenseless against terrorists. Let them kill us all!

Doesn't prove sh*t. But I wonder if more innocent people are killed by guns or if more innocent people are defended by guns.

In my mind, the value of guns was for hunting. Never saw any value to them in a suburban or urban environment.

I'm not gonna get into this again

I was only countering the notion that somehow this incident would decrease the sales of guns and ammo in this country, which is highly unlikely. Already evidence to the contrary

But don't you think that's an important question? Are you more likely to be killed/wounded/maimed by a gun or defended by one?

I think the value of guns is for hunting and no good comes of pointing one at another human being.

What is ironic is that 2 people were killed by guns and only 3 by the bomb itself.
