Tragic Shooting
I know, everyone’s all atwitter for my comments about the school shooting in Minn. Ok, it was tragic. That’s really all. The kid took two handguns and a shotgun that belonged to his father or grandfather (not sure which, reports are conflicting), who was a policeman, and went nuts.
Sadly, this quote leapt out at me:
Then, in a nearby classroom, he heard the gunman say something to his friend Ryan: “He asked Ryan if he believed in God,” Graves said. “And then he shot him.”
Didn’t the little Columbine bastards reportedly do something similar?
Until the anti-gunnies start dancing in the blood of the dead (and they will – though I don’t know how because it was a cop’s gun, no assault weapons were involved and it wasn’t a 50 caliber terror attack), I have nothing to add. Xrlq seems to concur.

The GFW’s will be carping about safe-storage laws. Although at this point we don’t have a chronology, so it’s entirely possible that the kid stabbed or beat his grandfather and grandfather’s GF to death before he got his hands on the guns, in which case it wouldn’t have made any difference.

“Didn’t the little Columbine bastards reportedly do something similar?” No. It’s a myth. Look it up in Snopes.
