Semantics, they are terrorist, cowards, mental, or potentially guilty of several descriptors that you, I or someone else may think of. I, also, am guilty of making accusations and stereotypes of liberals or some Democrats and that isn't always justified or warranted. There are good people, and crazy folks, on both sides and there are people that certainly have differing opinions about how to solve this issue. As different as we are though we all should agree that whatever we do should be consistent with our Constitution that we all are governed by.
My personal problem with those who (I will say) pretend they are concerned about all the innocent's lives is that they are betrayed by their own inconsistencies. They may want to remove all guns from America but they don't concern themselves with knives which are demonstrated, by facts and figures, to have killed far more or even alcohol which kills as many or more than guns and surely destroys far more households and families. It is those inconsistencies that I believe betray them and reveals a certain agenda rather than genuine concern for those whom they claim to have compassion and caring for. I don't want to judge what is in the minds of people but rather allow their own actions to reveal them.
Fair enough
