An Additional Update on the Virginia Tech Shooter

Ifound thelas sentence interesting. The shooter's friend rejects any comparison to the previous Virginia Tech shooter, despite several similarities. I wouldn't be surprised if he also rejects any accountability by gun loons for the misuse of guns.

From MSNBC.com

Friend: Va. Tech shooter had visited gun range

By The Associated Press
RADFORD, Va.-- A friend says the man who authorities say killed a Virginia Tech police officer had visited a shooting range this year but hadn't gone for several months because he didn't have bullets for his gun.
Matt Dailey tells The Roanoke Times  that he considered 22-year-old Ross Truett Ashley his best friend. Authorities say Ashley killed police officer Deriek Crouse on the Virginia Tech campus while the officer made a traffic stop, then killed himself not long after.
Dailey says the two had made two or three trips to the shooting range — the same one used by Seung-Hui Cho, the gunman who killed 32 people and then himself on the campus in 2007.
However, Dailey dismissed any comparisons between Cho and his friend.

    Sure. By all appearances, he seemed to be a reasonably well-adjusted student and citizen -- just the sort that the pro-gun extremists have been pushing Virginia universities to allow to carry concealed. And yet, tragedy still happened. How many more Ashleys are they wanting to arm?

    Maybe they ate at the same McDonald's too. Spooky.
