Hmmm, what do you make of this:

Are these people way off base? Of course there are many arguments on both side. Who's right? All I know  is my father-in-law likes to hunt. And I like the freezer full of deer meat I get from him every year. Sure, he could use a bow and arrow I suppose.

Well I think we can agree there are a lot of sick fucks out there. Personally there are two things here that really piss me off (aside from the fact that some sick fuck is killing people sniper fashion).

1. The News was last night full of the gun being used. I forget what type but apparently experts call it  'the perfect killing machine' or something of that nature - well that is just newscast hyperbole, what freaks me out is the almost erotic attachment these experts (and the news media attach more) have to guns - those people are the sick fucks, I am willing to bet that whoever this turns out to be (black, white, male, female, terrorist, internal nutter, druggie, whatever) will have an unnatural attachment to guns.

2. Yet again we have a killing - rampage may not be the right word here, but you know what I mean - where high power or high performance guns are the objects being used. Gun restrictions laws should apply to these types of weapons.

That was an interesting link void, worthy of further investigation - one day if gun control ever becomes important in my life.

KernelPanic:
What you have to worry about is all the other sick fucks that say,
'Hey!, this guy is killing many innocent civilians and getting away with it.'
Think of how many wierdo's would like to (and may will) do a copy-cat killing of this.

ps The BBC is the best mainstream news source you will find.

Master of Reality:
they will catch him, according to the prophecy.

Hey Zombie, that reminds me of this comic I saw with the caption "If America was truly the land of the free". It shows some arab dudes with those silly knives highjacking an airplane, and all the passengers have pistols and are pointing them at the hijackers.

Hey im not saying it's good, it's just one of those cool/uncool things. It's uncool that he killed people, but the whole concept of what happening is still sorta cool in a wierd way. Oh well, im wierd.  

Ok but what's worse then gun control, or just as bad? The US labeling this as a terrorist incident, then using it as an excuse to take away personal freedoms.
