If all the guns were armed, these tragedies would never happen.

I don’t even know what to say about fearful people like him.

Except I’m glad I’m not like him.

I live in Utah. It’s completely legal for teachers to carry concealed weapons here, and they have no obligation whatsoever to tell the school about it.

All six of our state’s members of Congress oppose doing anything about gun laws.

Our state is, of course, a crime-free utopia. You can look it up!

He should lose his teaching license too. A moron and a menace.

an armed gun

Ordinarily, I abhor the gun nut thing where they seize upon some minor, usually debatable, inaccuracy as evidence that a reporter doesn’t know anything about guns (like saying “clip” instead of “magazine” or referring to a semiautomatic weapon as an automatic) and use it to decertify the reporting in their circle.

But jeez. Really?

Bombs are “armed.” Guns are “loaded.” It was a .45, not a nuclear warhead.

Not that there would have been anything wrong if he’d had a nuclear warhead. We have a constitutional right to own them! It’s tyranny that I can’t buy one at my local gun store.

To think that all I have ever wanted was a howitzer —

the government needs to stop persecuting the Good Guy With a Gun just cause he showed up in a school to teach that kinds about muzzle velocities.

I’d like to know…what the hell was he thinking?

Except for that long ago unpleasantness involving Gary “Let’s do it” Gilmore.

Why the hell did they let him resign and not fire his ass? I don’t get it.

You’re assuming he was thinking - I have an idea he was letting his “little friend” do the thinking for him.

Maybe the .45 was carrying a derringer. Anyway, I don’t consider this so much a matter of ignorance about guns as basic incompetence at writing idiomatic English.
