Arizona Gets Tough on Gun Crime - In Certain Cases
The Washington Post reports on yet another school shooting. Normally when an adult shoots at or near a school he gets little more than a warning. Gun owners love to give each other the benefit of the doubt. But when you're in Arizona and you look like Mr. Tineo, you can be sure to pay for your crimes.
Bail was set Friday at $2 million for a man accused of firing a rifle at a southeastern Arizona high school, injuring a 17-year-old boy who was watching a baseball game.
The student suffered minor cuts from flying glass when the car he was in was shot at Thursday afternoon.
Tineo, of Willcox, was booked into Cochise County Jail on suspicion of three counts of attempted murder, plus charges of assault, endangerment, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, prohibited possession of a firearm, disorderly conduct with a weapon, and discharging a weapon within city limits.
Weaver said Thursday that it appeared Tineo was firing indiscriminately.

Romney Pandering to the Gun Extremists
For Willard to stand there and thank this loon for saying that the federal government poses a physical threat to him and his family is truly appalling -- a dereliction of duty -- and should instantly disqualify him from the presidency. Seriously. The idea that you need to own a concealed weapon to fight off the FBI and ATF is beyond crazy -- it's black helicopter, Clinton-killed-Vince-Foster, McVeigh-Was-Right crazy.
The Need For Safe Storage laws
What's your opinion? Have you noticed there's often no attempt to involve the owner of a gun used by child shooters? Why is that?While new details emerge about the possible motives in Monday’s school shooting in Ohio, another question remains: Will there be legal consequences against the owner of the handgun used to kill three people and injure two others?
As Ohio state law stands today, the answer is likely no.
Officials say T.J. Lane, a 17-year-old high school sophomore, confessed to the killings at Chardon High School, located about 30 miles east of Cleveland. County prosecutors say they plan to try Mr. Lane as an adult, resulting in a possible maximum sentence of life in prison.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Lane stole the gun, a Ruger .22-caliber Mark III target pistol, from an uncle who legally purchased the weapon in August 2010 from a gun shop in Mentor, Ohio. Lane’s grandparents noticed the gun missing this week from a barn they owned.
It is not yet certain if the handgun was properly stored, had its ammunition removed, or was secured with locks preventing its use — all factors that that gun safety advocates say are critical in preventing gun access by children.

School 'utterly devastated' after boy killed by a cricket ball
OK, how many school shootings have there been in the US in the last week?
Seriously, what do you expect when deadly weapons are epidemic?
Anyway, for those of you who would point out shit about drownings, hammer deaths, and so on--I bring you this story from the UK.
Add in that the police are investigating that this could have been a result of a brawl.
Not to mention that this was a specialist sports college. That meant all sorts of athletic equipment was tossed about in what could have been a slaughter caused by various forms of sporting equipment.
Let's be realistic, cricket is more like gun ownership in the US. There should be many more deaths by cricket ball given that comparison.
But there isn't.
Could it be that the usual inanimate object to deadly weapon analogy made by gun loons is seriously flawed?
Seriously, how many mass cricket ball massacres have you heard about?
For that matter, this is a pretty rare occurrence. While a cricket ball will hurt like hell if one hits you (they are like hardballs), rarely are they deadly. Former England captain, Mike Gatting, took a hit to the nose and is still alive to tell the tale.
In fact, people get hit quite a bit by cricket balls with minimal bodily injury: let alone fatality.
The reality is that guns aren't just "inanimate objects" they are deadly weapons which, when used properly, can result in serious bodily injury or death.
After all, isn't that the real reason that gun loons want them? To make up for their inadequacies elsewhere?

School 'utterly devastated' after boy killed by ball
A 16-year-old died after apparently being hit with a cricket ball at Portchester School, Bournemouth, on Monday. Needless to say, since cricket is the English national sport somewhat like baseball is in the US, shouldn't there be more deaths by cricket ball?Add in that the police are investigating that this could have been a result of a brawl.
