Eugene Volokh hits the nail on the head with this one. With the media making all the hype about CHL's shooting people over traffic accidents or parking spaces, the truth comes out from the fed.gov that it is NOT in fact honest law abiding citizens that are instantly made crazy by possesing a gun but repeat violent felons that are doing the killing.
Can't wait for the Dateline/CNN/PMSNBC coverage to start. Won't hold my breath though.

Why am I worried?
OK, so the MSM is parroting the line that violence is on the rise along the border and eating up the "reports" from VPC and their ilk about the main source of guns fueling the Mexican violence comes from the US. They are now pushing that the Dem's in majority control of Congress are saying that more gun control is not the answer and they are saying it rather loudly. Why am I worried that this is distraction/misdirection and they really are working on a back door deal to put legislation in place and as soon as they have a chance to sneak it into a big bill that no one will read, they will get it passed?
You know those hairs on the back of your neck that we often ignore? My are standing at attention for some reason and I don't like it.

Main Stream Media are a bunch of twits
Today's news is just a bit overwhelming. Shooting rampage in Alabama with 10 dead, shooting rampage in Germany with 11 dead, Church shooter had "Arsenal" at home.
The definition of arsenal is now
The arsenal in accused gunman Terry Sedlacek's room included two 12-gauge shotguns, a rifle and a box of 550 .22-caliber bullets, according to court documents filed Tuesday.
DAMN, my truck qualifies as an arsenal most days.
From Alabama,
"He sprayed bullets through the town," and "where he got out of his car and fired at police with his automatic weapon" and "One of the spots sprayed with bullets was a hardware store "
I am in no way trying to diminish the suffering of those who are victimized by these shootings. These are all violent and cowardly acts by mentally deficient individuals. A person has to be screwed up in the head to commit any such acts and I am willing to bet that once the investigations continue there will be signs indicating these people were a danger to themselves or others.
Just as I am also sure these will no doubt lead to calls for more gun control. While gun control is rather strict in Germany, there is no way a 17 year old former student could have legally had a gun and murder is already illegal so making these despicable acts more illegal is not going to help matters or prevent them or acts like them in the least bit. But, there are people who will try to further restrict our rights in the name of them feeling safer.
Rant Off.
Rant back on
UPDATE
"Myers, the grieving sheriff's deputy, made an appeal Wednesday to tighten the country's laws on the ownership of automatic weapons."
If in fact this was an automatic weapon and not a semiautomatic being mischaracterized, there are already numerous laws making access to them very controlled. Again, no more regulation of them would have prevented this. I grieve for the deputy and his loss as I also grieve for the families of all those lost in this senseless tragedy. I really do see this as THE EVENT!
Update 2
MSM is headlining gunman with machine gun, Alabama trooper giving press breifing identified the guns as an SKS and Bushmaster with high capacity magazines taped together as well as a shotgun and that he fired "At least 100 round". More hysteria top promotoe the coming ban.

No, Obama RESPECTS the 2nd Amendment
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1
So, Obama respects the 2nd amendment and won't move to restrict gun owners rights and all the folks who went on buying sprees to get EBR's and ammo were nuts huh?
Well, it didn't take long for the move to start and it won't stop here. You know by "reinstating the expired ban" they mean expand the previous attrocity to a new level and keep going.
AND, this morning the radio news was playing a sound bite of the Mexican AG saying that Gov. Perry's request for more troops to seal the border was a step in the wrong direction. Who the HELL is the Mexican AG to tell any US official what to do in order to protect the US from the current invasion of illegals, drug runners and terrorists that are streaming accross the border from Mexico.
