Shooting reported at New Mexico middle school

[slim 1,525]

So.... it turns out this was a 12-year-old kid taking crazy Uncle Joe's advice and using a shotgun.

Where's the outrage? Why isn't Obama on TV saying, "If I had a crazy uncle he'd look just like Joe Biden?" Did Fox News make this up? Was this Bush's fault?

Two children were taken to a hospital after a report of a shooting at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell, New Mexico, a spokeswoman for the hospital said Tuesday.

They were taken to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center, where their conditions were not immediately available, she said.

The state Department of Public Safety said in a news release that state and local police were called to the school at 8:11 a.m. and that "there are preliminary reports of injury," though their number and extent were not immediately known.

What the hell is wrong with people?

We need more guns. We need to send our kids to school packing semi automatic rifles so they can defend themselves.

More guns is the only way to make everyone safe.

Joe Biden told 12 year old kids to take a shotgun to school? That's outrageous. When did he do that? I must have missed the news.

Please provide the link where the VP tells kids to take a shotgun to school and kill kids.

Context: it does a body good.

It is probably one of those stories that only Fox news [sic] ran...

It's probably next to the link where all of us crazy gun nutters tell folks to shoot people in schools and movie theaters and what not. You guys seem to have no shortage of those stories and links.

Gun nutters - your terminology, not mine - don't tell anyone to shoot people, they take care of that themselves.

When someone posts a story about how a CC person stopped a rampage, or a person used a gun to stop a home invasion, I think it's great. But to sit there and say we don't have a problem with guns in this country is just plain wrong. To suggest that we need MORE guns, when children are being shot in their car seats, when folks are being gunned down for texting their daughters, when women are shot in the face while sleeping on the couch, when women are raped and it's ACTUALLY suggested they could have prevented it if they were armed, is an insult.

Do you folks still think the inanimate object is the issue?

When are you going to start calling stupid people stupid people? Crunch the numbers on who dies from gun violence. Crunch the numbers on what percentage of our population that affects. Then tell me how that's any more of a problem than, say, obesity.

Guns give folks a fake sense of security. The guy in the movie theatre would have kept his mouth shut if he wasn't armed.

Stupid is saying arming a city which loses thousands of people a year to gun violence with more guns

Stupid is trying to invalidate people who have been gunned down by saying being fat kills more

Stupid is not seeing that we do have a problem in this country with guns. We've have less people die from terrorism by muslims, yet we have no problem breaking the amendment to spy on them, deny them rights. Yet, thousands of people are killed by guns every year, but the 2nd amendment shall not be infringed upon.

Stupid is calling for a court to ignore evidence and condemn a man based on nothing more than public opinion.

Stupid is following someone at night in a car, then getting out and chasing them on foot, without identifying themselves, then wondering why when you catch up to them you get punched.

Stupid is telling someone in a public place to turn off their music, then pulling out a gun and firing into a gas station full of people, killing a 17 year old who was unarmed, yet they felt threatened.

Stupid is killing someone for texting in a movie theatre

We can do this all night

[slim 1,525]

Yet it won't stop.

Passing more laws restricting my rights in an attempt to stop stupid people from doing stupid things is, well, stupid.

So one democrat says something like that and you guys are all over it. What about the unending wave of republicans encouraging every type of gun for just about every reason?

[slim 1,525]

Good! We should have every type of guns!
