feeling kinda bad right now...

Man, I'm feeling real bad this afternoon. All day nothing on the news but that guy in
Colorado shooting those people in the movie house.
One of the weapons he used was a Remington 870 shotgun. When the local newsman on TV
quoted the weapons the police found, two 40 cal Glocks, plus an AR-15 assault gun, and the Remington 870 shotgun, he
reported the remington as a "Remington 8". When my wife heard that, she gasped,
"My lord, isn't that the kind of guns you have?"
Like I say, got a bad feeling about all this. In addition to this most recent senseless slaughter,
it wasn't an hour and I began to here that chant of GUN CONTROL.
I realy don't think or feel this is about Obama or even Romney. Around the country,
folks are just starting to get tired of repeated incidents like this. Locally here in Seattle we've had
three kids shot with their parents weapons, plus numerous shootings including five folks gunned down in a
coffee shop. None of whom had any prior connection to the shooter.
Nationaly over just the last two years I can't keep track of the number of incidents reported
including congress women Gabby Gifford in the southwest.
I don't know the answer to any of this. In the movie shooting incident, I'm hearing this guy was a college student
in a PHD program. Supposedly a "straight up" guy with nothing more than a traffic ticket on his record.
All the guns were obtained legally its reported.
Like I say, got some real bad feelings on this. Don't want to give up shooting or anything, but......
You should have heard me telling my wife...." It was an 870....a shotgun honey. Not a model 8 !"
Talking this over with my her later she made an interesting observation.
She wanted to know "Isn't gun control sort of like when Wiatt Earp as marshal of Dodge city required the cowboys
to turn in their gun's 'till they left town?"
Intresting point. I didn't have an answer for her on that one.
Gonna have to think on that a bit.
