Okay, now that makes a THIRD weapon report. I've heard: (1) "Sub Machine Gun"
2) Uzi-type "assault rifle" (Carbine?)
3) AR-15, now.
Reports of contents of the van are varied, too. Seems like "smoke grenades" are being called "weapons".
Gore's gearing this one up.
My governor, hopefully (?) your next president, is saying he is behind banning some assault weapons and... (NON-ISSUE!) "cop-killer bullets" !!?!?!! What?!
He's behind checking all for firearms ownership!? This guy's a Republican?!? Oh, yeah; MODERATE Republican. Sigh.
And there you are, Ladies and Gentlemen: you've witnessed it with your own eyes--- Even Long Path gets dragged into politicizing what is an atrocious, monstrous, filthy, cowardly act of barbarous crime by one man, and nothing more. Certainly nothing less!
I am pleased, if that's the word, to see him arrested. I will be further pleased to see him stand trial, and punished. I think part of what's gotten so many worked up has been the inability to direct their attentions and anger and blame at the person responsible for the action. Now, that person will go to prision.
Let's quit being divisive where we can agree that: Killing children is bad! People who kill children are bad! We can span that tiny gulf with the anti's, can't we!!!
