Nothing like keeping that tongue firmly planted in Rahm's sphincter while dozens of families prepare to bury their dead:
- Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says a meaningful response to the Connecticut school shooting, and shootings everywhere, would be to hold gun owners more accountable.
“Its got to stop,” McCarthy said. “People are going to have to wake up.”
- McCarthy said that there has to be a national recognition that there has to be some sort of tracking and if gun owners were required to report the loss, theft or transfer of firearms, shootings would not occur on the scale that they are today.
Guns are often legally purchased, McCarthy said, and then illegally transferred and used in crimes.
Because what happened in Connecticut was a complete failure of existing gun laws. Let's see...
- MSNBC is reporting that the assassin attempted to buy a rifle just last week, but was denied purchase for an as yet unknown reason.
Gee, that seems like the existing gun laws worked just fine.
- All of the guns were legally purchased and we suppose, properly registered, by the mother of the murderer.
So McMoron is laying the blame at her feet for not reporting her guns stolen. Of course, the fact that she was lying in her home dead, the first victim of the madman's spree, doesn't seem to make an impression on the Streetlight Marksman.
If it wasn't for the circumstances surrounding this entire episode, it would be amusingly ironic to see the pretzels that the anti-gunners are twisting themselves into, seeing as how this was akindergarten school teacher divorced mother of a handicapped man who owned not one, two or three legal firearms, but at least five. As it is, we can only shake our heads that improperly secured firearms in the presence of a mentally disturbed individual ended up being the tool with which he performed his mindless evil.
NOTE: information coming out that she was not in fact, a teacher.
