How many dozens of people would have been hurt and killed if this guy had run onto the track with his NRA-approved, NASCAR-approved freedom gun and started firing, instead of turning it on himself?

Exxon orders all reporters away from an oil spill on land that Exxon does not own, threatens them with arrest. Oh, and keeps them from talking to public officials in charge of regulating the oil spill situation.

He said it, not me.

In fact, I had this discussion with some wonderful, caring Democrats earlier this week on the issue of, well, they said “surely you could agree to limit the number of rounds in a magazine, couldn’t you? How would that be problematic?”

…

And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten, then why would you draw the line at ten? What’s wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit ; it’s kind of like marriage when you say it’s not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal?

There is no clear place to draw the line once you eliminate the traditional marriage and it’s the same once you start putting limits on what guns can be used, then it’s just really easy to have laws that make them all illegal.

This article, although from the tabloid New York Daily News, gives great detail (from a police leak) on the motive of the Newtown, Connecticut mass murderer.

What investigators found was a chilling spreadsheet 7 feet long and 4 feet wide that required a special printer, a document that contained Lanza’s obsessive, extensive research — in nine-point font — about mass murders of the past, and even attempted murders.

Search warrant information released today mentions that it took Lanza about 5 minutes to kill 20 small children and six adults inside the school, all with an assault rifle that was legally banned from 1994 to 2004.

Send this to your friends, and don’t ever forget what the Iraq war has done to so many people, not just in the United States, but in Iraq, Syria, and all over the world.
