Oxford, MI. Pretty small community.

heartbreaking.

Special request out to Otorhinolaryngologicalistic Tom to remind me of something I said about this subject 15 years ago.

 

[Grrr...]

Oxford, MI. Pretty small community.

Yeah.  30 minutes from me.  I know some people on a couple teams there but I really am not going to bother them right now. 

 

[Mike G]

Just a regular way of life nowadays.

A teacher was arrested at my kids HS yesterday for bringing a firearm on campus.

 

[Nice!]

Nine replies in six hours says a lot.

If it was up here the noise would be deafening and it would be all over the news for weeks. South of the border, it's just another day with a school shooting.

Merry Christmas to the NRA.

Seems like the best time, hence this thread.

It's hard to know which examples to follow, though.

Do we ban and confiscate battlefield .22's like Canada or do we go full Aussie and add in confiscating disabled antiques from museum collections?

Only 3 dead, doesn't meet the the requirements of a mass shooting, hence no one GAF. Lucky it even made the news.

I'm kind of a newb compared to you so don't have anything that old. 2012 was a nice year, though.

Tom, you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did you say the same to the Ford Motor Company after Darrell Brooks killed 6 and injured more than 60 others with a Ford vehicle in Waukesha Wisconsin?

It's just as illogical.

The logic behind it is the primary purpose of a Ford SUV is not to put lethal holes in living things.  "Target practice" is just training for that purpose.  Hope that makes some sense to you.

Human killers disregard the manufacturer's "intended purpose" for their product.

Defending my life is very valid "purpose".

About 40,000 deaths per year by auto accidents in the US alone. Just sayin...
