The Taft High School shooting , less than a month after Sandy Hook January 11, 2013 7:28 pm RobVG

Where is the outrage? Where is the “I told you so”? Why aren’t the gun control zealots capitalizing on this latest tragedy? If it wasn’t so horrific, you could call it a gift to their cause.

The explanation is simple, it wasn’t committed with an “assault weapon”. In fact, the weapon was a pump action shotgun, most likely with a three shell capacity. A gun associated with bird hunting Not a military knock-off, not semi-automatic and no high capacity magazines.

And the motivation is known. The 16 year old shooter was bullied and ostracized by his fellow students. A clear indication that the problem is societal and won’t stop even if all guns disappear.
