Niko, I missed the sarcasm. Sorry ’bout that.

Absurdity indeed.

Guns don’t kill people. Gun manufacturers kill people.

If that is the case, then why do they put triggers on guns?

WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER, THE GUN MANUFACTURER?

No, Niko – people kill people, sometimes with guns.

I blame liberals. Not for the shooter’s actions, that would be ludicrous. For the sheeple mentality indocrination that caused young adult humans to line up in terror and submit to being executed without a fight. For the unconstitutional laws that allowed the shooter to trust that he would face no armed opposition before completing his rampage.

Again, I place NO blame on the victims, they simply didn’t know how else to respond.

Bryan, any chance of an archived audio link? Can’t listen to streaming at work.

With a view to Monday’s deadly shooting rampage at Virginia Tech, European newspapers are blaming the lack of gun control measures in the United States and implying that Charlton Heston is indirectly responsible for the scope of the killings.

The Glock is from Austria, and the Walther from Germany. Plus, the rounds are also from Germany.

Guns don’t kill people. Gun manufacturers kill people.

I just happened to have my copy of The Virginia Gun Owners Guide handy.

Thanks in advance.

It is VA law that you can only buy 1 handgun a month.

VA 18.2-308:2.2

And the gun controllers were out in force too.

If you read my first sentence you would see that I acknowledged that there are “stupid people on both sides.”

your snide suggestion amounts to a pre-emptive attack on whatever I say before I’ve even said it.

Oh no, I will have nothing bad to say about what you say on the radio if you don’t use this horrific incident for political gain so soon after it happened. But if you do indeed blame the liberals I will, quite frankly, question your morality. Liberals or conservatives aren’t to blame for what one person decided to do.

As much as we point out that liberals seem happy about US soldier casualties, that’s going to be some low laying fruit. Not that the severity is even remotely similar, but 5,4,3,2,1 until “fear-monger” will being tossed around.

Re:

Before the situation was even over conservative groups were blaming liberals.

Yes, but don’t consider MSNBC advertising a “special” on gun control circa 3pm yesterday ….

Before the situation was even over conservative groups were blaming liberals.

And the gun controllers were out in force too. Hopefully you’ll note and acknowledge that none of the authors of this site engaged in any of that, so your snide suggestion amounts to a pre-emptive attack on whatever I say before I’ve even said it. How tolerant.

Due to the brevity of your post, I know it would be wrong to try and guess more of what your intent is in being involved in such a discussion. So big grain of salt to my comments…

Just be careful that you aren’t sucked into a gun-control debate. ‘How he obtained the firearms’ sounds like a topic that could easily descend into how to better prevent people from obtaining firearms in the future. The far better discussion to have would be whether to allow the 2nd amendment its full meaning, and let any potential gunman be uncertain if he’s going up against sheep or tigers.

I in no way mean that comment to demean or criticize the victims. They were raised in a society that placed them in that situation with no way to protect or defend themselves. One armed student, staff or faculty member could have stopped him before so many were slaughtered. In fact, in the only act of heroism in this incident that I have read about so far, Professor Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor, saved his class by sacrificing himself.

Screw it, Bryan. Blame the liberals. They’re already blaming conservatives.

There are stupid people on both sides and to pretend like your side is immune is ignorant. Before the situation was even over conservative groups were blaming liberals.

Don’t forget to blame the liberals.

That’s not the plan. But you guys certainly haven’t forgotten to blame inanimate objects.
