Cause And Effect

Another mass shooting, this one in NY state.

A gunman opened fire on a room where immigrants were taking a citizenship exam in downtown Binghamton on Friday, killing as many as 13 people before committing suicide, officials said.

Gov. David Paterson said at a news conference that 12 or 13 people had been killed. The suspected gunman carried identification with the name of 42-year-old Jiverly Voong of nearby Johnson City, N.Y., a law enforcement official said.

The suspect's body was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in an office of the American Civic Association building, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and was talking on condition of anonymity.

Gunning down immigrants taking a citizenship exam. Nice. What kind of sicko fixates so much on scapegoating immigrants...

Oh wait. People who fixate on scapegoating immigrants are called Republicans.

Bonus Wingnut Stupidity from Pammycakes:

"If NY didn't have such draconian, anti-second amendment gun laws and one of those hostages was carrying - this nightmare would be over. Gun control laws kill innocent people."

I'm sure the coroner will put on the death certificate "blunt legislative trauma". The only way to solve people killing with guns is to kill them with guns!
