1. I am so damned sick

Of those boys with easy bake ovens,causing all this mayhem......Enough!!!

[Kooljas]

10. Easy bake oven meme?

third time I've seen it.

[Flashmann]

12. Easy bake oven meme?

Yeah........The other day,one of the wrongwing,gun nut,shitheels publicly blamed the school shooting on a host of things...Boys using easy bake ovens was one..That the school was run by WOMEN who didn't have guns was another.......The media.....Obama.....Gay marriage...

2. Another great victory for the gun apologists!

And they were just starting to crawl back out with their talking points, figuring enough of the bloodstains had been mopped up that it was time for idol worship again...

[bunnies]

3. Sigh. If only one of the "good guys" had a gun.

Oh wait...

[Liberalynn]

9. First my condolences to all the family and friends of the dead and the two injured Troopers

second I also thought the same as you.

4. I wish we lived in a civilized country instead of this military state. nt

[Chorophyll]

8. It's a terrorist state, actually.

All the time and money spent on "homeland security," and we're in constant danger from being blown away by our own neighbors.

[llmart]

21. Yeah, making old ladies take their shoes off at the airport.....

and confiscating people's nail clippers sure made our country "safe". Americans can really be foolish and shortsighted.

Oh, and let's not forget our shampoo had to be in a 3 oz. container or else we couldn't fly. Hell, I had my iced mocha confiscated one time before I got on the plane. There are a lot of deaths in this country due to iced mochas.

[Chorophyll]

22. Just imagine if you'd had an extra shot of espresso in there.

[llmart]

23. Now that would be deadly.

Seriously, I haven't flown in a few years (can't afford it and don't enjoy it any more), but the last time I did I was really snarky. I find that as an older woman now I can get away with it more than when I was younger. I'm also passive/aggressive sometimes but pretend I'm just having a senior moment. Oh, my, I had no idea I couldn't bring my drink on the plane (yes, I did). Oh, dear, I just paid $4 for this and I'm not going to throw it out. I live on a fixed income and $4 is a lot for me. Well, you get my drift.

It's like the old spoof from "Airplane" where the guards are frisking the old ladies and meanwhile the terrorists are walking right through the gate.

[Chorophyll]

24. Yep.

I like your passive/aggression, by the way. You're my role model.

5. They must have been on anti-depressants!11!! If its not that, its got to be violent video games

abortion, the lack of prayers in school or special ed!!111!!

Guns are NOT the problem here!

Do I need the sarcasm icon? Yup, I'm sure I do....








What a tragedy!! Healing vibes to the officers and their families....

6. Tragic, and just in time to respond to the NRA

It seems the armed troopers who stopped this one barely escaped with their lives. And they weren't surprised at the scene.

[AllyCat]

26. And underpaid teachers sitting at their desks will be more unflappable than the police

so they can stop a body-armored, semi-automatic-toting nut next time he enters THEIR classrooms I tell ya!

[caseymoz]

29. Yes. How many more guns are we supposed to need

. . . before the 2nd works the way they say it should? Next, I think the NRA will call for universal mandatory gun ownership.

7. moar gunz (sorry, don't have the energy to hit caps-lock)

Li'l Wayne LaPierre must be so proud.

[jpak]

11. What kind of gun was used?

[valerief]

20. The killing kind. nt

[AllyCat]

27. Nuff said.

[deutsey]

13. The shooting apparently took place at a church, too

[Demo_Chris]

14. Condolences to the victims and their families

17. Just another day in Second Amendment America. Land of the Bloodthirsty.

Enough! Repeal the blood soaked 2nd Amendment.

[Nicoleric]

18. You can't make this up

A poster on GunBroker.com of all places is saying that he knew the shooter personally and that he was losing it over the impending gun ban. Even said he is afraid that this information will get out to the "loony lefty's." Even if what this poster is saying is untrue the mentality on that board in unbelievable and gives you an idea of the gun fetish certain people have.

25. Gotta love that poster's sig line...

"There is no problem that can not be solved with a adequate amount of firepower!" Erich von Manstein

That does seem to be the NRA philosophy... and from the lips of one of Hitler's generals, no less.

[AllyCat]

28. "impending gun ban"? Which one is that?

Seems all the governors are proposing arming teachers and front office ladies at the schools. What a nut. So sorry for the victims and their families.
