Massacres by American gunloons have become so common (seemingly a daily
event), they hardly qualify as "news" any more.

This morning on a local AM talk radio show, some gunloon tried to spin
the massacres as a reason to support concealed carry. The gunloon
claimed gunloons would be less likely to commit their acts if they
thought some of the people might be packing. Not taking into account
many of the gunloons are suicidal and are prepared to be taken out,
preferring if they don't survive.

The NRA Gunloon Lobby will be happy - they were worried that they weren't
going to meet their quota of massacres in eductaional institutions this
year.


Charlton Heston is reported to have said in September 1997:

"There's no such thing as a good gun. There's no such thing as a bad gun. A
gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands
of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys."

That's so right! Unimpeachable logic!

We're told that till the afternoon of Thursday 14 February at Northern
Illinois University Stephen Kazmierczak had been regarded by various people
around him as, for instance, "an award-winning student", "revered by
colleagues and faculty", "a nice person", "a nice kid", "a very committed
student, extremely respectful of me as an instructor and adviser", "pleasant,
considerate and flexible", "revered by the faculty and staff and students
alike", "a fairly normal, unstressed person", and "[having] no arrest record
and no known history of mental illness".

So it's clear from such encomiums that the people in Kazmierczak's life
should have spotted the "bad guy" in him a long time ago.

Good guys don't misuse guns till they become bad guys, and no massacre on St
Valentine's Day or any other day is ever the fault of _gun ownership_.

Chuck's sober statements are a barrel of fun.

Like 'prying my gun from my cold dead hands'
now a 5 year old could take it from him.
