The world with lots of handguns in it!

Guess we will need metal detectors in toy stores now....

That was so sad and strange. My mom and dad went to Palm Desert once when they were in California visiting my cousins. They said it was beautiful and upscale. When I heard this story I thought how odd, that doesn't seem like the kind of place where a shopper would take a gun into a store. In Chicago, maybe. But not there. Same thing with the Wal-Mart employee who got trampled by the shoppers, strange and sad.

In Chicago, maybe.

Why would you think this would be more likely to happen in Chicago?

*Edit*I emailed the city of Palm Desert, Calif for copies of their firearm laws to compare with Chicago's.

That would be a very interesting thing to see, I hope you get a reply!

The local press is reporting that it was a "personal" situation that led to the shooting. The local TV ran a clip of a "person of interest" being cuffed while leaning on the rear of a sheriff's cruiser.

She looks like she is Mexican and is yelling to someone off camera, "I am going to kill you!".

This POS can't even control herself AFTER the person she was with was shot and killed. MY take? Let's give thanks for selective culling of the herd. These two AHs took each other out and thank god they didn't hurt anyone else.

Palm Desert is just like any out lying area of a large Metro area. The scumbags that cannot afford the city and are willing to work at cheaply paid jobs have moved out to the desert areas where they can be scum with little or no law enforcement intrusion.

Judging by all the murders that have happened at toy stores in the last 20 years, it's time to take a stand.

The councilman says his question is: who takes a loaded gun into a toy store. And his answer is: "I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper."


Now there's the newest oxymoron I've heard:

casual holiday shopper

But isn't that just it? What if I am not a AH or POS or whatever...what if I am just a person in Toys R Us...someone who wants to buy a toy.

And I am dead. Because of the guns.

Am I any less dead because I am not one of the AH or the POS or ..whatever?

Does that make me part of the herd or not part of the herd?

No. I am dead.
