More than 300 comment on David Kolb's column on the Second Amendment

Inspired by the shooting in a Colorado movie theater, which resulted in the deaths of 12 people and injured more than 50, columnist David Kolb took on the Second Amendment this week. More than 300 people commented on his column.

A gun owner himself, Kolb lamented the violent future the Second Amendment ensures in the column, "The future looks violent with the Second Amendment."

Kolb wrote:

As such, our nation is condemned to suffer the next outrage in which a deranged personality with a lunatic grudge decides to accumulate an arsenal that would embarrass a small police department and go hunting for humans.

This is America.

This is the way it is.

This is the way it will be.

Politically, its impossible to change this bleak future of violent acts.

Here's what MLive and Chronicle readers had to say.

How long would it have taken the Theater Shooter to prepare a chemical weapon or a bomb instead of using guns. These guns were used because they were convenient. This guy was nearly a doctor of science. A bomb would have not presented a problem for this guy. So, he painted up his hair, and did what would garner himself the most press and recognition. He didn't fight with police afterwards. Gave up without incident. Because Mr. Kolb and the rest of the so called journalists made him famous. Perhaps we should outlaw journalists, because without the Kolbs of this world, he would not have had a reason to do what he did.
