Man shoots students at an Amish school.

A man walked into an Amish school in Lancaster today, and made all the boys leave, and shot 10 girls. Three are dead ( I am talking about students, aparently 4 are confirmed,mayby it is a teacher.)

Apparently, he was getting revenge for something that happened 20 years ago.

My god.... what the fuck happened 20 years ago that could make this dude kill Amish kids?

Scary... we live about an hour from Lancaster.

yet another beautiful example of why gun should be illegal.

**gun enthusiasts, please pay attention to the following: i am not saying guns being illegal would stop all of this shit from happening. but it would a little. and that should be good enough.

i hope their families will make it through this eventually. it's terrible.

Before this thread turns into one of assholism and blind flaming, I'd just like to ask one thing. Why a milkman? Where in the hell does a murderer get the incentive to become a milkman and go shoot up his school he got made fun of at?

You're free to say that I am free to oppose you 100%. Guaranteed that we're going to hear about people that knew this guy was on the verge of something in the weeks to follow.

Instead of Innocs 'OMG GUNS GUNS GUNS' arguments, let's try some logic.

The thing is, I'd bet things like burglary have decreased, due to an increased chance that the owner is packing heat. Increased numbers of guns in households do create isolated mishaps like this, but on the whole I think they protect in a wider spectrum.

Because of all the irony and sarcasm wrapped up into one neat little 3 word package. It's an efficient insult.

[begin propaganda]

A study from El Salvador showed that people who attempted to use a gun in selfdefence were four times as likely to die as those who did not.

A 2003 study in the US showed that having a gun in the home increases the risk of someone in the household being murdered by 41%.

Domestic violence is more likely to be lethal if there is a gun in the home. For women, the risk of being killed if there is a gun in the home is increased by 172%.

Most importantly - JESUS DOES NOT LIKE GUNS, NOR WOULD HE HAVE USED THEM!1!1!1!1!$%^&*

just a fyi.

[/end propaganda]

Does the US have a monopoly of rampaging idiots, or just a higher tendency to report it?

You guys that don't like guns should live by your ideals and never own one.

Fact is there are far more factors that feed into making things like this possible. To blame guns is stupid.

PPC I can also point to places where mandated ownership of firearms has radically decreased crime. IIRC there's a town in Idaho considering mandatory carry laws for it's residents presently.

FT...you're never one to disappoint. "OMG A CHANCE TO HATE ON THE US!"

To quote one of the scholars of the century, Larry the Cable Guy, "guns don't kill people, husbands that come home early do".

But wait, isn't the postal guy usually the one that does the shooting? Remember where the phrase "going postal" came from.

More guns wouldn't have solved that, but decent parenting might've.
