Ok, there've been a lot of responses so I'm gathering up my thoughts on some...

Taltarzac: You said the 2010 political limate contributed to this. I submit that the media sensation over the climate had more to do with it. In studying past election cycles, there have been events that make today's stuff look pale by comparison. What we have now that we didn't ahve then are a slew of 24/7 news channels looking for anything to sensationalize to get more viewers. Kind of like the old newspaper axiom: "If it bleeds, it leads".

Tbugs: "well-regulated militia" didn't have anything to do with the National guard back in the 1700s. The "militia" was every able-bodied person who could fight. "well-regulated" meant well-trained in that you knew how to load and operate a weapon and COULD hit the broad side of a barn with it.

As I stated in the other topic. This guy was a moonbat. He is now a mass murderer and should be treated as such.

I'm sorry - he is ALLEGEDLY a mass murderer, until the trial that, from all appearances, should convict him.
