A rifle, a shotgun, a semi-automatic pistol, and 600 rounds of ammunition…and no one thought that this was out of the ordinary until the owner went bezerk and killed a bunch of innocent children??
His wife said that she had no warning that he would do something like this…lets just look at the ammunition alone…that stays away from the issue of gun control, which by the way I think that this country is pathetically lax on, but that is another rant all on its own. I lied, I can’t stay away from that issue…gun owners and sportsmen whine that they want guns to go ‘hunting’…I have never in my life known of someone hunting with a semi-automatic pistol. Face facts you blithering idiots on capital. Pistols and handguns are used to kill people. Why are you f**ks still trying to protect handguns…oh yeah, its because the American Rifle Association is pouring millions of dollars into the GOP campaigns and into the pockets of our own politicians to keep you shits from voting for tougher laws.
Ok back to the whole ammunition thing…No one was suspicious? This guy had 600 rounds of ammo! Now because I don’t own a gun, have never owned a gun, have no reason why I would ever own a gun, and believe in really tough gun laws, I am not the greatest authority on this…but 600 rounds of ammo. Look at just about any sporting goods website. A box of ammo with say about 20-25 shells a box runs about $35.00 to $40.00 a box. This guy had purchased approximately 30 boxes of ammo totaling between $1,050 to $1,200 of ammo. I don’t know about you but if my hubby goes out and blows over a thousand bucks on ammunition my first thought is not going to be I better clear the freezer because we’re gonna have a ton of venison. It’s going to be why the f**k are you buying all that ammo? This closely followed by a smack across the head for wasting that much money on ammo. Do you know how much meat you can get at the grocery store for a thousand bucks?
How does this slip past anyone’s radar? The wife said she had no idea. What about the store clerk?…here is capitalism at its finest. Yes sir, you want 600 rounds of ammunition? Will that be visa or mastercard? Would you like paper or plastic? The gun advocates claim that it is not guns that kill people. No a gun left alone will just sit there and collect dust. A gun in the hands of people are used to kill! Did you notice that I said just kill?
Bush is starting a commission to investigate the shootings in schools…And just what is he planning to go with this report…create stronger gun control laws? I somehow doubt that will happen. He is going to waste tax payers dollars to say he has done ‘something’
This whole situation has sickened me. I am disgusted in the system, our politicians, the laws, but most of all I am disgusted in humanity. If this is the way we are treating our fellow human this world, not just the US, is ‘going to hell in a hand basket.’ I have tried to keep a positive outlook on the world, hoping that changes will be made for the better. So far I have been disappointed time and time again. Sometimes I am glad that I can’t have children, because I would not want them growing up in this world.
