I noticed that too. Absolutely no information.

[sniper7]

Typical media. Yell fire as soon as a match lights. Hopefully nothing big

So we'll assume AR-47, high capacity clips, white, male, Republican, NRA member, Christian, Pro-Life, etc...

And it will probably turn out to be another Liberal with a Joe Biden 12ga and a history of mental health issues (read Liberal). But that won't be reported/analyzed.

Puppy love gone bad.

[sellersm]

Distractions before the State of (dis)Union address? Or to distract from any one of the myriad fiascos going on around the Nation/Country?

[BuffCyclist]

I still haven't heard many more details, but my wife's boss's niece goes to that school and is physically unharmed.

Sucks that 2 kids are shot because some parents think its OK to prescribe drugs to their 12year old. Guarandamntee the shooter is on anti-depressants, anti-anxiety or similar psychotropics. Anyone who doesnt think those drugs can seriously screw someone up, needs to see someone on them, especially while the "doctor" is trying to determine which one works best for the "patient". [Mad]

I feel like liberals always are trying to blend these two rifles! I saw a guy recently on facebook who was saying that the difference between the ak and the ar came up during the AWB in the 90's. I tried to explain that they are completely different rifles, but hey what do I know, I'm just a gun nut!

Completely different yet fundamentally the same. semi auto magazine fed, you know evil.

A Glock-AR-47 with 1000 rounds clip wielding a man, shot up a school today.

If it were one of your relatives that was wounded, would you find that funny? -maybe I'm too old for college age humor...

[Great-Kazoo]

If this doesn't scream of Littleton Copy cat


A middle school student opened fire in his gym with a shotgun today and critically wounded two students in Roswell, N.M., according to authorities.

Odiee Carranza, an eighth grade student, told the Associated Pressa boy bumped into her as he rushed toward the gym and apologized to her. When the boy entered the gym, Carranza said she saw him pull a gun out of a band instrument case and begin shooting.


She said he shot another boy twice in the face and shoot a girl in the arm.

[Ridge]

Shotguns aren't exactly precision weapons, doubly so in the hands of a 6th grader.

Agreed. Found out more details, the wife's boss's niece was standing less than 10ft away from the shooter when he shot that other kid in the face. She is going to be scared for life. But hey, no big deal, lets make jokes about it.

When are you two going to reprimand Skip for his post? I got the same meaning out of both of those posts.

I honestly didn't see his post earlier. But you're right, it does have the same meaning.

It won't be any of those things. The shooter was 12 years old.

Of course it isn't funny. School shootings never are.

I think the poster was referencing the typically inaccurate and politically driven reporting that goes with these situations...

[Skip]

You know that now, but didn't in the information vacuum where editors on MSNBC were preparing commentary. Actually, I'm wrong, that commentary is probably already prepared waiting for a Liberal blood-dancing ritual to commence.

No one is ridiculing the victims. We are ridiculing the media and it is deserved.

All I got from this was a jab at the media guys, not seeing him making fun of victims.

First link in the OP says the kid had a sawed off 20 gauge. Are the parents about to be arrested for illegal NFA items?

I can saw a 26" barrel down to a 20" barrel and it be considered a "sawed off shotgun" yet be perfectly legal.

I doubt a 20" barrel fits in most 6th graders' backpacks.

[BuffCyclist]

Perhaps, but that wasn't your question. I was simply stating that a "sawed off shotgun" isn't necessarily an illegal NFA item.

[merl]

But it would fit in many band instrument cases.

I can play quote the news article game too


The suspect allegedly packed a sawed-off .20 gauge shotgun in his backpack, walked through the front doors of the school and headed to the gym, where he opened fire.

[Gman]

We must pass new legislation to prevent adults from buying shotguns! That would have prevented this!

[KestrelBike]

Unfortunately all we're doing is proving that good journalism is extinct : (

STFU!
Don't give them any ideas.....

Maybe he was disgruntled because everyone made fun of his cello playing (you could probably fit a dozen shotguns in one of those).

Yeah, like this one is new to them. Someone did something stupid, therefore the law abiding shall be punished. It's who they are.
