If anyone reads that and number thinks, "oh, well that's not such a high number", the person thinking that is an asshole.  And an idiot.  I can not understand how so many Americans lack empathy and compassion.  

If you're saying 124 isn't a high number, then just imagine your child, or your spouse, or your parent, or your sibling, or your friend was one of those 124.  And you didn't get to spend the holidays with them.....and never will again.  And then, imagine someone else saying, "Well yes, but I need to have this weapon that can kill dozens of people before I reload just because I want to have it...and that's more important than the life of your loved one."

And if you read all that, and did that, and AGREED that that is what you would say.  Then you need to leave my blog and never come back, and unfriend me on all social media and not contact me in person ever again. Because if you ARE someone who would say those things, then I want absolutely nothing to do with you and your dead hearted, cold, callous, inhuman life.
