OT Pity he didn't have a gun

http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...207105034.html

than he could have done some real damage to those on his "list".

Seems this bloke was the classic profile of those involved in US school
massacres :- bullied, no friends, retreats into violent video games etc.
Here in Aus ( limited access to guns) one dead from a knife in the US
(liberal access to guns) many dead from bullets.

Sorry to post off topic but after reading the crap posted on this ng and
with such parallels with the profiles of the "perps' in different countries
but with such a difference in result I had to post.

Theoretically, more with the knife since he wouldn't have to reload... He
would get tired after awhile though...

US situation Mum and Dad dead and than move over to the "LIST". Availability
of guns shows this would be a likely situation in the US

If it's "likely" in the US, it'd be a damned certainty in Switzerland - them
bastards have got Assault Rifles coming out their ears!

They seem to keep their massacrees fairly quiet though. Then again, maybe
it's got nothing to do with the guns?

Pile it on! That's what rec.scuba is all about. (Well; crap and petty
arguments, stupid statements, lots of repetition of everything but scuba
diving, and, of course, prejudice and politics.)

It would be hard to find two better examples in a single post.

Stop it.

Common sense and logic are mutually exclusive to rednecked crackers,
extreme rightists and gun-nuts, and as anyone can clearly see, have no
place in this debate.

Stop it.

Common sense and logic are mutually exclusive to bedwetting milksops,
socialists and hoplophobes, and as anyone can clearly see, have no place in
this debate.

Stop it.

You're mixing apples and oranges. There are rednecks and crackers and
extreme rightists. Some, but not many people, are all three. I, for example,
am a Cracker, and proud of it. It's displayed right on the front of my
pickup truck and on the front of my ATV. I'm not a redneck, although I do
have a few friends that are. I'm not an extreme rightist either. In fact,
most tests show me to be a bit of a centrist. The one thing I'm not,
however, is a gun nut. I'm a patriot. I believe in the Constitution and that
the Bill of Rights means what it says. I agree with the Supreme Court of the
United States, that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right
that does not depend on being a member of a militia, whatever you perceive a
militia to be.

The gun nuts are the ones that are so afraid of guns, and of anyone actually
prepared and willing to tend to their own defense, that they feel a need to
ban all of them. Rednecks, crackers and extreme rightist are almost never
gun nuts.
