Excellent post. Now we need to use these statistics to counter the gun grabbers. Salesmenship starts with answering questions (objections) with questions.

Must've been a magic talking gun that convinced him do it. We'll have to ban them all, just in case they all can talk, and have conspiring to keep the secret.

Do I really have to type "/sarcasm>"?

This guy was a loser-FREAK! I see his type every day. (I live close to Goshen).

He lived with his mother...He was about 45 years old. I'm quite sure it will turn out that he was HEAVILY depressed. He hadn't slept for 3 nights before this happened. He was pissed over losing his girlfriend. They guy had a death wish...Plain and simple.

I don't know what to make of all of it. Other than the dude was a ticking time-bomb. There is a big stink over the fact that this guy killed his supervisor even AFTER the supervisor had called the police to warn them about this freak a few hours before he died (Just after they told the guy to go home and get some sleep). In Goshen, Indiana, he could have gotten the guns he used ANYWHERE. The fact that he was a two-bit home gun dealer had very little to do with it. And if I'm not mistaken, he used a shot gun to kill himself.

I don't know what the answer is but neither do the anti-gun lobby...But that won't stop them from making hey of the issue. The only way this would have been prevented was to have magically made all guns disappear before the accident.

I forgot to mention this in my post above...

I was listening to a Detroit radio station when word broke of this freak's killing spree...

They reported, numerous times that.....THIRTY PEOPLE HAD BEEN SHOT DEAD!!!!!!!

How can ANYONE get away with this? This was a MAJOR radio station reporting this!! Hell, if I'm not mistaken, the plnat only emplyed about 30 or so people! I just CAN'T believe that this big of a mistake can be made in reporting...

Anyone have a link handy to some research that shows that states with active conceal carry people have less instances of multiple gun shooting victims?
People with CCWs can't stop the single murder, but they do tend to stop the people that go on massive shootings like this. What if there was someone in the factory with a simple revolver? Might of made him scared enough to run off. Or at least confuse him enough so that someone could tackle him.

Hey lelio do some of your own research. Here's a link on nationalreview.com that describes Lott and Landes' findings about mass shootings and concealed carry.
