This is typical of the gun control argument. They take a single isolated incident and use it to support their position. How often has this type of thing happened? Not very often or the press wouldn't be on it like ants at a picnic.

What he doesn't mention is that only ONE of the victims was armed. The others were unarmed. The killer could have done the same thing with a bow and arrow or a club.

The weapon didn't kill these people, the nut holding it did.

Hyperbolic. It is highly unlikely the same damage could have been done with these weapons.

Your heart is in the right place, but your analogy blows. :)

Of the several reports I've read on the Internet and the newspaper, this is the first I've heard that there was only one firearm to defend against the guy with the SKS.
