1. Whaddya wanna bet this is either gang related or a case of bullying.

Youth gone wild with too many guns available.

2. The NRA scores

another victory in their fight to make guns available to everyone -- including high school kids. Nothing to see here folks, just another routine shooting brought to you by Gun Culture USA.

And they tell us the kid's aren't learning these days. HA!
