This morning's news is full of stories about yet another mind numbing massacre committed by a teen aged male in Omaha, Nebraska, with eight people dead and several wounded. Pages are now rife with speculation about what caused it: depression, break-up with girl friend, loss of job at McDonald's. Will America ever wake up? These may have been contributing factors, but the issue of issues is GUNS: the widespread availability of weapons. And it's not just handguns either. Sorry hunters.

Heavy fire power is more available to youth today than candy or crack. I remember being startled a few years ago when a nephew visting with me in NY around the December holidays, couldn't wait to go back home for New Year's eve? Why, so he could shoot an AK-47 into the air. Where would he get his hands on an AK?

est anyone think this was an isolated incident, consider the following: several months ago a story appeared in my hometown newspaper, The Youngstown Vindicator, reporting a police chase of 3 teenagers who opened fire on a cruiser. When pursing the youth who fled into a wooded area, the cops found three machine guns on the path. Type? You guessed it: AK 47.

I remember thinking: if this were the early 1970's, and those kids were members of the Black Panther Party instead of the Bloods or the Crypts, they would have called out the National Guard and declared a state of emergency with curfews and all. How many more have to die before people wake up and realize that in a deeply troubled society, where violence is glorified, racism rampant, unemployment high, social alienation and isolation skyrocketing, and the wide availability of weapons, such killings are bound to happen.

The Supreme Court will hear a case on this issue in January, the first time since the 1930's. Little hope there. So what can be done? Stop pretending not to know the causes of the tragedies and deal with genuine root reasons. And also stop pretending that guns defend anyone against anything - including racist and fascist-like elements. If anyone on the left has any illusions on this score, let him or her be disabused of the notion! Stand up and have the courage to get guns of the streets now. All of them.

Ok, so I could go on all day with the things wrong in this article, but its pointless. Anywho, this is the kind of junk the sheeple actually believe.....

Somebody needs to show Joe how to use spell-check... and perhaps how to form a sentence.

...There's no hope for his reasoning skills though.

Of TGO, no... of the human race, unfortunately yes.

Is this guy for real?

How many more have to die before people wake up and realize that in a deeply troubled society, where violence is glorified, racism rampant, unemployment high, social alienation and isolation skyrocketing, and the wide availability of weapons, such killings are bound to happen.

Oh yeah, you've nailed it. When all is done, we will turn to kill each other......Give me a break.

They just won't be satisified until the government has full and total control will they.

What country does this guy live in?

This is typical of leftists. Racism is rampant only among the left. Unemployment is at the lowest point in decades. Social alienation? Probably on the writer, who gets left off more invite lists than Don Imus.

With such a tenuous grasp of reality it is no wonder he can't understand guns.

The cause is that a crazy person decided to shoot a bunch of people.

The fix? For someone with the right tools to be on the scene when he starts his attack.

All guns off the street? We have been fighting the war on dope forever; how’s that worked out?

Is Omaha, Nebraska CC?

I don't think a sniper would make it out of his roost (or very far from it) if he tried something like that in Tennessee.

While it is fine to have pride in your state I think in a general way people are about the same no matter where they reside. Certainly there are as many unprepared and sheepish type people in TN as in Nebraska.

The writer of the original story (fiction) is certainly out of touch and clueless.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

My screen name should state clearly my views of any and all libtard nonsense!

(and no Tower, Tungsten, Rabbi, MolonlabeTN, Verbal, and all you usual posters...its not my love of hockey....just before one of you stepped on it!)

[Guest Phantom6]

Heard a description of an attack in a Wal-Mart the other day in which a shoplifter had already stabbed one loss prevention employee and was in the act of beginning to put his blade into the chest of another that he was on top of when a woman drew her pistol from her purse aimed it at the skidmark's head and halted the attack with an order to cease and desist or else his brains would be the subject of a "clean up in aisle 5" without firing a shot. Everyone including the miscreant survived to see a new dawn. The most shocking part of the story IMHO however, was when a news crew was interviewing some of the other customers who witnessed the attack by the scum-bag and the heroic save by the armed citizen and some stupid- not ignorant but STUPID- woman exclaimed;

"I can't believe that they let people just wander around here with guns in their purses".

I was absolutely speechless! If that remark had come from the knife weilding asshat, I could understand it but this came from someone that very well could have been the next victim as she was in the line right next to the altercation.

The writer and this lady(?) must be related.

man..Neero, I'm with you.. Rabbi is merciless when he gets on ya..and he's usually right..though I don't like to tell him that on general principle, he can spot a wingnut moonbat from a mile off.

with us he's gentle..
