Police: Texas mom pulls gun on 7th grade students

ASS-ociated Press September 10, 2010 (09-10) 09:14 PDT SAN ANTONIO (AP) --

A woman believed to be the mother of a Texas seventh-grade volleyball player pulled a gun on a rival team celebrating a lopsided win over her daughter's outmatched squad, officials said Friday.

Girls on the Kirby Middle School volleyball team fled when the woman confronted them with a gun Thursday night in the parking lot and threatened to shoot, Judson school district spokesman James Keith said. No shots were fired and no one was injured.

Authorities believe the woman is the mother of a player from Metzger Middle School, which had just been beaten soundly.

No arrests had been made as of early Friday. Keith said the school district believed they had identified the woman.

"She was irate during the game," Keith said. "My understanding, according to the principal, is that the Metzger team lost pretty bad. They were getting hit with balls during the game and were just outmatched."

Keith said girls on the Kirby team had left the gym and were walking to their bus after the game, laughing and celebrating, when the woman approached and threatened to kill one or more of them.

The woman took off in a maroon-colored car, and school police reviewed surveillance tape to try and identify the woman. At least six witnesses saw the incident, Keith said.

The Judson school district is in northeast San Antonio.

So what’s the big deal?


Guns don’t kill people!


I Know! The little buggers should all have been armed and she would either be dead or shooting from a safe distance.

[dales]

Guns are inanimate objects, Tyro; didn't you KNOW that?

[Gob]

Oh I know how easy it is to get all too far wrapped up in your kid winning or losing, and, I must admit there are times when it may have been a good idea that I was not armed

[tyro]

Pull the trigger and they move about quite a bit. Especially that little metal thingo that comes out of the hole at the far end.

[dales]

I hate to break this to ya:



A gun cannot pull it's own trigger.

I'd be dead long ago.

[Crackpot]

Perhaps you shouldn't be doing those naughty things with them then.

[dales]

Touche, C/P!

Actually some of them can be a real beech to field strip.

[rubato]

Having more guns makes people better mannered and more polite.

Guns make us safer.

[dales]

Can't find much to disagree with ya there, rube!

[tyro]

Having more guns makes people better mannered and more polite.

Guns make us safer.

Isn’t that what Mr. Hitler said to Neville Chamberlain?

[loCAtek]

Um, no ]'Gun Control' was firmly established in Nazi Germany.

According to a review by David B. Kopel of the book Lethal Laws, by Jay Simkin, Aaron Zelman, & Alan M. Rice, and available from Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, the law already in place required a permit to obtain guns or ammunition, and another to carry a gun. (This was not the book referenced by Cramer above--that one is Gun Control: Gateway to Tyranny, J.E. Simkin & A. Zelman, 1992, also available from JPFO.) Guns were required to have serial numbers, and anybody owning one without a serial number had to have one stamped on it. Permitting was mostly left up to the police. Permits were only given to people of "undoubted reliability" who demonstrated a "need" for a gun. The law made it easy for Hitler to make sure his opponents couldn't get permits and thus had no access to firearms.
...
When the Nazis enacted their own law in 1938, they added restrictions aimed at Jews, such as not allowing Jews to work in any business involving guns. They also prohibited those under eighteen from buying guns, added yet another permit for handguns, and banned silencers and small hollow-point ammunition. Of course, Nazi officials were exempted from all gun permits. Later that year, after "Kristallnacht," Hitler forbade Jews to possess pretty much any weapons.

To summarize, Hitler did "effect total gun control," but only for the Jews, and only after his regime had been in power for several years. For the rest of the population he relied on laws already in place.

...except for the 'SS', of course.

[tyro]

I wasn’t talking about gun control.

I was making what I would call a measured response to the sad arguments that say things like, “Guns don’t kill people…” and “Guns make us safer”.

God stop me before I make a comment about who are seen as more/less polite.



However, just imagine what Hitler might have said to Chamberlain to placate the latter concerning Germany’s build up of arms.

[loCAtek]

Granted.



...nuther knee-hug. Deal wit'it!

Six dead after US breakfast killing spree in Kentucky


A US man has killed himself after shooting dead five people, including his wife and stepdaughter, during an an argument about his breakfast.

Stanley Neace, 47, went on the killing spree in a trailer park in Jackson, rural Breathitt County, Kentucky.

He chased his wife into a neighbouring trailer where he shot her, her daughter and three witnesses, reports say.

Police say they are looking into why Neace flew into such a wild rage; there are reports he was facing eviction.

State troopers found him dead at the porch of his trailer, slumped over his own gun.

The shooting happened during an argument with his wife Sandra, 54, after she brought him some eggs for breakfast, a relative of the neighbours he killed said.

Mrs Neace's daughter Sandra Strong, 28, was also killed.

I guess the shooter wasn't what is known as a "morning person"?

[loCAtek]

More stress = more frustration = more acting out.


As per Gob's other thread; if folks can't get it out one way, they'll get it out another.


Guns regardless.

We're all better off when every troglodyte with no control over their emotions is armed to the teeth.
