Actress Elizabeth Perkins taught us the first rule of political discourse on Twitter: “Don’t tweet Barack if you don’t want responses.” That rule only works for President Obama, though. Perkins found that politicizing Friday’s shooting in Santa Monica, Calif., didn’t go unnoticed by the Second Amendment wackos. People will likely have plenty to say about our current gun laws in light of the shooting, but most will have the sense to wait until we know something about the shooter to determine if any gun control legislation, either currently on the books or proposed by Congress, would have prevented his actions.
And now I've opened the can of worms and here come the wackos.

“@JayCaruso: @Elizbethperkins California has the strictest gun laws in the nation.” Well, obviously not strict enough.

@JayCaruso @SagalFAu lobby isn't keeping running, current fear of "lack of guns" for profit? Do you really think they're altruistic?

@JayCaruso @SagalFAu lack of guns meaning "our guns being taken away" and the fear the NRA instills/violates 2nd A!! For profit. For profit.

Yes, obviously. But for the record, Perkins is totally pro-gun, just like Melissa Gilbert totally respects hunters.
I support the ownership of guns. Its in our constitution. I DON'T support the current gun ownership regulations.
