School bombing in 1927 in Michigan killed 45 people

[132 eight pointer]

I thought this was interesting in light of what happened in Newtown.Another mentally ill child killer used explosives to do his evil.

Psychopaths don't need guns.

well now that makes this hurt a little less...wtf is your point?

[132 eight pointer]

It wasn't meant to make anything hurt more or less,the point is someone else murdered kids at a school without using bullets.An incident long ago that can be used in the discussion of current events.Does that clear things up for you ? Leave the wtf out of it if you can't handle an adult discussion.

Not sure why you immediately go on the offensive like that. Relax man, he wasnt trying to start anything.

[jjb4900]

these children haven't all been laid to rest yet and people are throwing crap around for whatever reason to defend guns.just don't seem right...kinda like having one of your kids killed in a hunting accident and then going back out hunting the next morning..........give it a chance to heal.

Why don't you tell every newspaper in the country and politician that. Not someone positing a historical story on a forum.

This has hit everyone hard,I cant imagine loosing my girl,she is what I live for.Some people deal with it different than most.Some will take wear their emotions on their sleeve's and some people bury it deep inside and try to never let it surface again.People that are wired this way will use any weapon that is there.Weather it be a gun,explosives,knives,poison,vehicles or a thousand other ways to hurt innocents. Nobody has the answers but we all need to help each other get through this one way or another.Just remember we as sportsman are going to be in a fight to try and keep or right to bear arms here.Thats a major deal to me and everyone that reads this.I use rifles,pistols,shotguns and muzzleloaders over the course of the year to hunt.Just because some jagoff used a gun to do harm to others doesn't mean I or any others like us will do the same .Please be kind and respectful to your fellow sportsman

No one likes to see these events in the news, with that said, there wouldn't be a necessity to defend gun rights if there was never an offensive against them.

Think about that and maybe do some WTF's to those starting the gun control threads instead.

RIP little angels, you're in a much better place than the rest of us, that's for sure.

because that story was posted to get a response and show that the same could be done without using a firearm..............it doesn't matter how it was done, just no need to defend the means used at this point.

I wasn't trying to be insensitive, I have 2 kids and can't even imagine the anguish all in Newtown are experiencing. I only posted this because there is a national debate brewing on firearm restrictions and as this is a hunting forum I thought others who may not have seen this story might be interested in it.I am not placing firearm ownership above human life.

those guns were legally owned, nothing could have stopped that as far as gun laws go, much like most of the past mass shootings in recent history go..legally obtained guns and ammo.....no offense to you, just can't believe all pro gun stuff written so soon afterwards.

wrong...they were legally owned by the lunatics mother, not the lunatic............................he broke the law taking HER guns, and then broke it killing HER first............................all the pro-gun stuff so soon afterwards?? have you been watching the news and listening to the radio......................its tons and TONS of anti-gun......we need MORE law NOW!!! talk

I also posted this because I didn't know that it took place due to it being so long ago.I don't blame anyone for being upset by these topics. We should all be upset by these horrors.

your link didn't work for me, so searched and found this. very interesting article, and goes back to the root of the matter, someone with a desire to hurt people, will find a way, gun or no gun.

Evil or mentally ill people will improvise to carry out their plan.

[jjb4900]

I'm gonna apologize to anyone I offended, this whole tragedy stokes up emotion's in people like no other......more so than 9/11 as far as I'm concerned, gonna leave it at that for now.

I agree with you and I don't know what the answers are.I can't help thinking that we are almost to 2013 and these violent acts shouldn't be happening.Better mental health care might do much more than anything else.

How bout we arm decent men and the next time this bull$h*t happens someone will pull out a concealed Glock 17 and put one in his brain housing group. Guns, knives, ropes, motor vehicles, blunt objects... you name it, doesnt kill people. Indececent MFer's do.

[Renegade Hunter]

And as a brand new parent with already so much love for my child I can't imagine how these parents feel. My sympathy to all.
