Would we care about Buford Furrow if he hadn't used a gun?

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>On May 3, Steven Abrams drove past the Southcoast Early Childhood Learning Center in Costa
Mesa, Calif., where 40 small children were frolicking noisily in the playground. Deciding, as he
later told police, ''to execute those children,'' he pulled a U-turn, headed back toward the
playground, and floored the accelerator. The car - a 1967 Cadillac sedan - tore through the
chain-link fence, sent the jungle-gym flying, and plowed into the crowd of children. It stopped
only when it ran into a tree.

Two dead, five injured - Abrams's violence was far more grisly than Furrow's, and led to a
grimmer body count. The sheer horror of the crime, if nothing else, should have attracted frenzied
media attention. But it didn't involve guns, and it wasn't fueled by racial or ethnic bigotry, so it
attracted almost none.

Ain't that the truth!!

Yep, that is what were looking at, aren't we? Anti's only care if it fits their agenda. The press only cares if it's a "hot topic." Nevermind silly things like "facts" and other non-sense, just what will get the most attention. Ahhh...journalists. I hold them one notch above lawyers.

Nope. Truth to tell, I don't care even though he used a gun. That is, I don't care beyond- he murdered one person, criminally assaulted five others. That's already illegal and deplorable. Roast 'im and be done with it.

If it isn't Scottish, it's CRAP! RKBA!

A firearm isn't a weapon until it is used as such.
