Chink,
That *is* amazing, isn't it?
Immediately after Columbine, gun stores in Colorado Springs increased their inventories. Why? Because they KNEW there would be some bullsh!t law passed, and people would buy more guns while they still could.
The reaction here was, "Yeah, that sucks, but disarming the rest of us won't bring the kids back." Mayor Webb, with his "We don't want you here" speech to NRA, is full of it.
There were two separate incidents here last week involving kids with guns. In one, a teenager killed her mother. In the other, three kids, ages 15 and 16, killed another kid in a robbery.
No hue and cry about "we must DO SOMETHING about this!" We ARE doing something about it: charging the killers as adults. The parents of the murdered kid said, "If the killers are charged as juveniles, what kind of message does that send to other kids? They'll think it's OK and nothing will happen if they kill someone too."
FWIW, I've visited South Park. Yes, it's a real town, and it's seriously weird. Nothing visible, but there's a kind of odd feel to it, like it's a colony of Pod People.
