Ummm... you had a lot of incidents to pick from to try to make your point, is there a reason you chose one where the third victim (the one you don't mention at all) was a law abiding CCW holder who died trying (admittedly, unsuccessfully, but quite heroically) to end the rampage and protect people? Now you might say that he failed because he wasn't a professionally trained law man, but then the other two victims were, weren't they?

So, how did the police eventually end the rampage? With good intentions and feather dusters? Or with a high capacity military-style rifle? It's almost as if the inanimate objects are exactly as good or bad as the people holding them...

hmmm.



EDIT: There is a lot of dishonesty on both sides of this debate, but one of the most egregious examples is that when MAIG and their compatriots are bemoaning the number of "gun deaths" in this country, they'll score this incident as five (5), when only three (3) of the deaths are actually lamentable. Do I think the killers deserved to be killed? Not my place to decide. Certainly I pity the man who was forced to do the killing. That said, though, treating every person shot as of equal value is ridiculous.
