So much for the Sporting use of Semi Automatic Weapons. My 6 shot Marlin just
could not measure up to this use of a legal weapon.

Boy, it takes a special kind of person to argue that after an incident that
will be pointed at for years to come as an excuse to screen more carefully
for every type of firearm ownership.

I have read and reread that sentence about 10 times, and although I think I
know what you meant to say, I simply cannot fathom what it is you actually
DID say...

Its basically been all anyone has been talking about here in northern
Wisconsin for the last two days. While I think we've had some people
who were murdered during deer hunting before, we've never experienced
an example of someone going off the deep end like this before. Since
the shootist was a Hmong refugee there has been an increase in racial
tensions in addition to the old fights about assault weapons (the gun
was an SKS with a 20 round banana clip) , personal responsibility and
even the effect that practices like deer baiting have had on the
psyche of the average Wisconsin deer hunter.


A very sad day for my state.

Refugee ? Twenty-four years in the US, speaks fluent English,
naturalized US citizen, hard working taxpayer who annually
buys an out-of-state Wisconsin hunting license.

How long you figure before he's not a refugee anymore ?

Thats how he is referred to in the news reports. He arrived with his
family as refugees from Laos. I suppose there is a certain point where
one is no longer considered a refugee. When that is, I don't know. I
knew an elderly Jewish couple who were referred to as refugees from
the Nazis until the day they died. The term didn't bother them. I
guess I don't see it as a pejorative.

Well, at this rate, a long, long time.
