Screed Update
Jeremy Burnside, whose article I criticized here, has been engaging me in comments. It was civil, until he took his ball and went home. Or, you know, said Uncle. If you leave a comment, be nice.
Update: Weird. One of his examples is Peter O. and guns, apparently, made Peter O. evil. Peter O. is Peter Odighizuwa who was the mutant who went on a shooting rampage at the Appalachian Law School. Peter O. was likely stopped by an armed citizen.
The other example he mentioned died in a triple murder suicide.
Thanks to Cam for the tip.

Uh-oh. When I called him Idiot Lawyer, I swear I didn’t mean it. I don’t really think he’s a lawyer.

Peter O. was definitely stopped by an armed citizen. The MSM tried to play it as “wrestled to the ground by fellow students” and not mention the gun at least one student fetched from his car trunk, but if I remember the full story at all correctly, no one could have gotten close enough to wrestle with Peter O. until he saw another gun pointed at him and lowered his gun. It’s just too bad Peter O’s reactions weren’t a little slower – if he’d hesitated long enough for the student to shoot, taxpayers wouldn’t be paying for his trial, pshrinks, and lifetime confinement in either prison or the nuthouse.
