As most know by now the Westroads Mall in Omaha was the scene of a tragic massacre this afternoon. This is just another "Dead Man Walking" incident that I have alluded to in past postings."Channel 6 News has confirmed that a 19-year-old Sarpy County man left a suicide note this afternoon stating, "I'm going out in style.""In the mans own mind he was dead before he ever arrived at the Westroads

BackgroundIn the previous post I mentioned the renewal of the "Clinton Gun Ban". Most intelligent people know that the original law really didn't "ban" any firearms, well maybe with the notable exception of a Gawd awful ungangly and ugly short barreled shotgun.What it really did was prohibit certain cosmetic features or combinations of features that some found objectionable; Pistol Grips, Flash
