While we stood there watching, American gun manufacturers flooded the
country with their product. Now we have no control over distribution
or use. They often fall into the wrong hands because they're so easy
to obtain. And so the papers are filled with this every day.

Hope your families aren't touched by it and I hope we'll find a way to
address it. It'll take decades but we need to try.



A 9-year-old boy was killed and at least two others were wounded on
Monday night in Minnesota by a man who police say was randomly
shooting at cars.

The Pioneer Press reported that 34-year-old Nhan Lap Tran had been
arrested and was being held on suspicion of murder after the shooting
rampage in Oakdale.

A woman who asked not to be named said that she was driving home when
a man walking in road the began riddling her car with bullets.

“He was just walking diagonally down the middle of the street. Then he
turned toward me and just started firing,” the woman said. “He was
just walking, not even running… It was crazy.”

A second woman managed to stop her car in the Rainbow store parking
lot after the back window and rear tires of her mini van were shot.
She was shot in the arm and her 9-year-old son was shot in the head.
Initial reports indicated that the boy had been 10.

Oakdale Police Chief Bill Sullivan said that the boy later died at
Regions Hospital in St. Paul. The mother was expected to recover from
the wounds to her arm.

The suspect was also thought to have emptied six rounds into a
68-year-old woman’s car, hitting both her finger and her leg. Her
granddaughter told the Pioneer Press that the woman’s finger had to be
amputated by doctors at Regions Hospital.

Police reportedly recovered a handgun and at least a dozen casings at
the scene.

“It’s a horrible situation, and certainly lends itself to the concern
they have about gun control, and all the other kinds of issues that
are being addressed right now throughout the country,” Chief Sullivan
observed.

Oakdale Mayor Carmen Sarrack told the Star Tribune that the shootings
were “sick.”

“What can you say when a [9-year-old] is killed. … You just feel so
bad for the family. They were just out driving by on a February night.
It’s just a shame. People here are devastated that this could happen
in our city, especially when the nation is grappling with gun
control.”

There have been any number of suggestions posted in this forum and
elsewhere on ways to try to cut down on gun violence in this country.
The better suggestions go beyond maintaining the status quo and posting
more armed guards.

But you have to remember, if it wasn't heard on FOX or dreamed up in his
insane mind, it doesn't hit his synapses.

How about some stories about the homicides in Chicago which never make the news? After all, it's
just blacks shooting blacks - not worthy of your attention or that of the major media. BTW, they
caught the two guys who shot Hadiya Pendleton.

You didn't mention her, did you?

Here's a little info on Chicago - which you never mention, showing 43 homicides so far in 2013. I
think that's about one per day, no?

The Chicago homicides have been all over the news, ****-for-brains. But
nice try.

(snip rest of everyday-type story.)

I don't get it. What do guns have to do with all this?
These crazy people could just as well have used saw blades as Frisbees
and do the same damage.
If you want regulate guns, you'll have to regulate saw blades.
Then what's to keep nut jobs from notching Frisbees, and putting razor
blades in the notches? Next thing is a law-abiding guy can't get a good
shave.
Besides that, you're talking about taking away Frisbees from law-abiding
little kids and Border Collies.
You're a real sick guy. Get some help.
