And then when they are asked why they did, they could say they had to die because god hates fags.

Not that I think that way, but I think the irony would sting the surviving supporters.

Awesome! What I love about the way Russell Brand handled them, is that he actually treated them in a (all be it, mocking) respectful manner, which actually made for a very good interview. Instead of the outrage and angry resistance those idiots usually meet when they're interviewed.

As soon as the crowd started cheering Russell after one of the guys said something, Brand turned to them and said "Thank you, I appreciate your vocal respect, but these people are here to explain something to me, and it does take courage and bravery to come into a room full of people who almost certainly don't agree with you. So let's hear what they have to say, because I'm actually interested."

The bald guy couldn't even keep a straight face. I have a hard time buying these guys believe half the stuff they are spewing. As annoying as they are, they are so over the top ridiculous, I'm sure they actually do more for gay rights than anything.

I don't often wish people would die, but I think it would honestly make me smile a bit to wake up one morning and read a headline like "Two westboro baptist church members shot and killed while protesting school shooting victims funerals."

Appearantly in Newtown, and just across the highway from the school, is the second largest gun lobby organization in America.

They donated over $500,000 to campaigns this year. NRA was $2.2mil.

This group made over $26 mill last year.

Now that is weird

Lost for words. Robbie Parker talks about his 6 yr old daughter (Emilie Parker) that was killed. Truly amazing the strength he had to do that.

Shot multiple times with hollow point .223 rounds. These expand on impact for maximum tissue damage. Made by Dynamic Research Technologies, but gun enthusiasts call them DRTs for 'Dead Right There.

wow, why are guns (and ammo) so powerful? Is it to generate more sales?

Is the model of firearm we are being shown in media photos (and we cannot verify this was the same as the gun used) is designed simply to make the average over-kill gun owner get a boner?

They're designed to take out todays super-animals, like the flying squirrel and the electric eel.

That's an interesting question. This rifle will do the same thing, although not as quickly, as the model being shown on the news. It doesn't look nearly as menacing. In most states this is the smallest caliber legal for deer hunting. Of course, no hunter is going to use hollow points. The idea is minimal tissue damage and a clean, quick kill.
