In Scotland, a massacre occurred at Dunblane Primary School in 1996, and laws were subsequently changed to control hand guns. In the years since then, I don’t believe there has been a school shooting in Britain.
"You have the rest of your lives to make the decisions that will keep you from losing your lives around this bay. Don't put 15 minutes in the hands of our trauma surgeons and expect them to bring you back the life that you squandered."Showing consequences of bad choices seems like a legitimate effort to help deter violence (while it would have been appropriate if they didn't just focus on guns, but also showed the results of stabbings, blunt force trauma, etc.) Still, I didn't find any calls for more anti-gun legislation, so that's not bad, considering this is from ABC News.
But even the inventor of AC current wouldn't have foreseen this Flash Gordon style wireless plasma gun, based on the Tesla Coil and built by the danger lovers at RM Cybernetics...Let's just hope BATFU doesn't get wind of this, or the "danger lovers" may get more danger to love than they bargained for.
The best part? According to the site, "It is also possible to use butane gas which makes this thing into some kind of flamethrower - plasma gun hybrid."
A proposed state bill requiring all new handguns to be stamped with microscopic identification tags could significantly decrease violence and shut down the illegal gun market if passed, proponents said in a news conference Tuesday.
Montpelier Police Officer Kevin Buttars was charged last night with unnecessary assault by a police officer...You'll note it's a misdemeanor charge--I wonder what it would have been if roles had been reversed--and if there's such a thing as "necessary assault" for non-"Only Ones"?
The criminal complaint states Buttars shoved and choked Finley, slammed his head into a wall and possibly forced simulated sodomy on Finley.

For their part, Virginia Tech officials haven't actively lobbied against attempts to modify Virginia's law, spokesman Larry Hincker said, but the university's position on weapons hasn't changed after the shootings.
"We don't believe that guns have any place in the classroom," Hincker said.
"We've experienced far more of guns in the classroom than any university should have to endure."
Fearing that he was going to die when the supposed policeman cocked his pistol and pushed it against his head, Peng prayed for a quick death.

"What should we think of a gentleman, who, upon hiring a waiting-man, should say to him—'my friend, please to take notice, before we come together, that I shall always claim the liberty of eating when and what I please, of fishing and hunting upon my own ground, of keeping as many horses and hounds as I can maintain, and of speaking and writing my sentiments upon all subjects.' A servant must be a fool, who would not suppose such a master to be a madman... Let these truths sink deep into our hearts: that the people are the masters of their rulers and that rulers are the servants of the people..."
