If all that bothers anyone, feel free to check dislike as often as you wish. In truth, I never even notice the like and dislike corner--on my posts or anybody else's.

Beyond that, Merry Christmas. And if that doesn't float your boat, Happy Holidays!

Voter ID laws would do nothing to counter or limit what happened in Crittenden and Mississippi counties. That was ELECTION FRAUD, not voter fraud.

Besides, the insurance corporations would push for safer weapons, perhaps ones that can't be fired by anyone but the owner for instance, or something I haven't thought of or hasn't been discovered yet. I know that some will figure out how to bypass this, but it would slow down the deaths from kids getting hold of guns at least.

Oh, the fellow who tried to vote at his mother's address? He was weeded out with no difficulty, wasn't he?

Now is exactly the time to have a serious national discussion on existing laws and see if anything could realistically have prevented these kinds of slayings. Mental health seems to be the stand out and that needs to be elevated as well.

I'm so sad, I'm nauseous, as so many have said previously. I wish there was somehing I could do.....

so, that makes it ok for assault weapons to be made available to mentally challenged and unstable people?

We have had evil people for a long time. The worst school disaster is the Bath, Michigan, Massacre

May 18, 1927, in Michigan.

This is the best raw history lesson I've read in awhile. Photos of each child and what they wanted to be. Beautiful stories. Would be an excellent way to heal. Some misspellings...but who's perfect

Bath School Disaster 45 killed and 58 injured

BECAUSE.....He lost his farm due to school taxes for the new school. Guess he had the last laugh He did all of this without a GUN.

http://freepages.history.roots...

He killed his wife, blew up his house . Drove to the school and blew it up, then drove downtown, gathered his friends around and blew himself and his friends to eternity

Without a GUN.

Just how predictable is Faux News?

American gun sellers arm crazy people every damn day. Whatever gun laws we have are totally worthless when incredibly insane people can buy all the guns they want and all the ammo they need to fight 2 wars off the Internet. 52,000 more mass murders like we witnessed today and maybe people who sell guns will start being a little more careful....tune back in 25 years from now and let's see.

Anything for a profit is our national motto. Arm everyone and it will be 1872 again. Let's be the next Florida and declare war on all black teenagers. Our problem is too many guns able to be purchased by anyone with cash. Selling ammo over the Internet is as insane as today's shooter. Let us have new rules saying the people who sell guns to insane people get 20 years in prison after the weapons & ammo they sell are used in mass murders.

America will never get better until the gun & ammo sellers are cut down to size. Like the nearly 70 year slaughter of innocents in Israel and on the West Bank.....I'm numb to it all. The best thing about today is no one killed anyone I know and love. But there's always tomorrow.

Forget towel-heads and illegal Mexicans, our greatest dangers comes from an out of control gun industry and the white loners they arm to the hilt. No one is safe no one is safe, invest in funeral home futures and body bag factories...no one is safe.

As a long time poll worker I can tell you the more hurdles you put in front of voters the fewer folks you will have voting in future elections. Maybe that suits your political views, but as a veteran I'm more interested in ensuring as many eligible Americans possible vote so we have the clearest sense possible who and what policies the public favors.

One other thing- you may have heard that voting is a right. The other activities you described as needing to show ID are not rights. Major difference! See Constitution, U.S., Fifteenth Amendment, Seventeenth Amendment, Nineteenth Amendment, Twenty-fourth Amendment, Twenty-sixth Amendment and parts of the Fourteenth Amendment.

When ReTHUGliconS in the legislature pass the voter ID bill early next year (given the insanity among Arkansas THUG ranks, I have no doubt they will do just that), that will be just one more sign Arkansas is going in the wrong direction.
