Aug. 12 update -- Using the Los Angeles Jewish Center
shootings as a springboard, Attorney General Janet Reno held forth
this morning on how people should not be allowed to have guns
unless they know how to use them and are "entitled" to have them.
In other words, she wants registration and licensing, which
she promoted even before she came to Washington.
But Ms. Reno hedged her bets by saying that no gun law would
guarantee that a particular person involved in a particular
incident wouldn't always be prevented from getting a particular
type gun. No. kidding.
Buford Furrow, the racist nut who says he shot those children
and has been charged with murder of a Filipino postal worker, had
a large quantity of GI ammo in his vehicle. A BATF agent at
yesterday's law enforcment press conference said the ammunition was
stolen from military stocks and that they thought Furrow may have
been involved in the theft.
Furrow was on probation for a felony second degree assault.
Convicted felons and people who steal from the government, and who
shoot people, are by definition criminals. That's what we call
people who break the law. They also break gun laws, as Furrow was
doing by merely possessing a gun.
General Reno, echoing yesterday's White House comments, also
talked about the need for greater punishment and Federal
prosecutorial powers for "hate crimes," though I can't imagine
anything more hateful than a grown man shooting little children,
whether they were Jewish, black or Scotch-Irish protestants.
Thankfully, all those children at the day camp are going to
survive -- probably because the "high-powered semi-automatic
weapon" he used was a 9mm, which seems high-powered only to those
who don't know much about guns. More than 50 9mm cases were found
at the Day Care Center; they reportedly matched the ammo in his car
-- presumably less-deadly full-jacketed military ammo, which is
made to wound, not to kill.
Several reports say the gun was an Israeli-made Uzi, which may
have been Furrow's idea of a sick joke.
Reporters excitedly said an Uzi was used in the McDonald's
massacre in San Ysidro, Calif. It was only one of James Huberty's
three guns. But most of the 21Huberty killed in that horror were
killed with a common 12 gauge pump shotgun, which at closer ranges
is the most deadly firearm there is.
I'm puzzled by this morning's news that the lower receiver of
Furrow's gun was an AR-15-style Bushmaster, shipped in 1996 from
the plant in Maine. The rifle had been assembled from parts. But
an AR-15/Bushmaster fires the 5.56mm military or .223 Remington
cartridge, and that's not what was used at the Day Care Center.
Why the diversion of attention?
And while we're wondering, why haven't we been able to find
out what kind of gun was used to kill those kids at Columbine High?
Was it a 9mm "assault weapon," like the press keeps saying, or one
of the two common doubled-barreled shotguns, which were totally
legal before those boys sawed them off?
