So what? It was her right. Though she should have taken more precautions.

Reports indicate that the kid's mother was pretty stern and demanding. She was a gun loving mom who took her kids to target practice.

We are? Not where I live -- we're alot like Mexico, a lot more than we are like Australia. We're also a lot like Brazil. We have many of the same issues that Mexico has - for one a very fast growing population, I'm not sure that's true of Australia -- plus we share a 2000 mile long very very porous border and a very high usage of drugs like cocaine, pot, meth.

Of course the school will be town down -- but a part of me believes that, like the Nazi concentration camps, the image of it ought to be propagated as a symbol of the Politically Correct madness and New Puritan stupidity which has completely destroyed our educational system.

If someone right now put a dozen guns filled with bullets in front of you, would you run out and kill someone?

Why or why not?

More gun-misinformation. Do you gun nuts never stop with the BS? Mexicans have a constitutional right to own guns, just as Americans do.

Article 10 of Mexican Constitution of 1917

ARTÍCULO 10.- Los habitantes de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos tienen derecho a poseer armas en su domicilio, para su seguridad y legítima defensa, con excepción de las prohibidas por la Ley Federal y de las reservadas para el uso exclusivo del Ejército, Armada, Fuerza Aérea y Guardia Nacional. La ley federal determinará los casos, condiciones, requisitos y lugares en que se podrá autorizar a los habitantes la portación de armas.

ARTICLE 10. - The people of the United Mexican States have the right to own guns in their homes for their security and legitimate defense, except those prohibited by Federal Law and those reserved for the exclusive use of the Army, Navy, Force and air National Guard. Federal law shall determine the cases, conditions, requirements and locations where residents may authorize the carrying of weapons.


Now take a look at Canada, a country that does in fact have gun control.

Let's not wallow in magical thinking. I would buy and move into John Wayne Gacy's house if the price was right and it was in a good school district.

I read that every glass of water you drink has a few molecules from Ceasar's urine.
Redneck Math: Drinking Caesar’s Urine

Are you going to stop drinking water?
