Michigan gun rights fanatic denigrates recent high school gun massacre

Seventeen year old T.J. Lane fired 10 rounds into a group of teenagers in the Chardon, Ohio high school cafeteria, eventually killing three. Lane didn’t know the people he shot, didn’t even go to Chardon high school; he attended Lake Academy, a school for students with academic or behavioral problems. Just the day before the shooting, the Cleveland Plain Dealer ran an article on how legal concealed carry licenses in Ohio had doubled in the past three years.

Now this may have no direct relationship to the Chardon shootings but does point out once again just how many more guns are on the streets of America. Where did Lane get the gun? It has been reported that it was his grandfather’s, taken from his barn and Thomas Lane did go looking for it after he found it missing. The next question is why didn’t grampa report it missing?

These are the kinds of questions about gun violence that go unanswered on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the gun worshipping National Rifle Assn. and its gang of gun nuts go on their merry way, supporting laws to put even more concealed guns in the pockets of yet more gun bubbas. The reasoning is bizarre.

But Josh Horwitz, Executive Director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), takes the dilemma one step further. He points out the arrogance of the pro-gun movement in his article on Huff Post, “When Buying a Gun Becomes Easier than Voting.” Along with daily shootings throughout the U.S. and now what seems fairly regular gun massacres like Virginia Tech, Loughner’s Tucson, the Chardon High incident, the gun freaks want to just rub our noses in it.

1. Time to ban kids with illegal guns in schools.

[X_Digger]

2. Yet all violent crime, including that with guns- is down.

It's past its sell-by date.

[Hoyt]

3. Crime rate might be "down" even further with less guns around.

[X_Digger]

4. And monkeys might fly out of my ass.

Is that the best you've got? Supposition?

[Hoyt]

5. Actually it's pretty good when you guys try to imply more guns have caused crime to decline.

Besides, I've always wondered where some of you tuck your guns.

[X_Digger]

6. Quote someone saying that Hoyt..

Please, feel free.

[Atypical Liberal]

7. No one is claimng that more guns = less crime.

We are simply pointing out that the idea that more guns = more crime is demonstrably false.

8. IWB is for geeks...OWB is the only way to go.

tuck this...




The only way to carry an AK pistol is OWB tough to tuck it anywhere.

9. Your false allegation is still false.

Perhaps you should repeat it louder, faster, deeper and more shrilly.

10. And repealing the 4th Amendment "might" lower the crime rate further. n/t

11. why I stopped reading HuffPo

Lane didn’t know the people he shot, didn’t even go to Chardon high school; he attended Lake Academy, a school for students with academic or behavioral problems.

Actually, he knew one that we know of. One of the victims was his former girlfriend's new boyfriend.

Just the day before the shooting, the Cleveland Plain Dealer ran an article on how legal concealed carry licenses in Ohio had doubled in the past three years.

Not even relevant to the issue.

"gun bubbas?" Got that regional and anti-rural and anti-working class bigotry going for him doesn't it? Is Prince Charles also a "gun bubba" with his several thousand dollar Holland and Holland? Or is he a legitimate "sportsman"?

Is Josh serious? It is still easier to vote than buy a gun, and VT are not "fairly regular."
