Kill the bastard quickly

What do the Luby’s massacre, Ft. Hood, VA Tech and every other mass shooting have in common? The shooting stops when responsible people with guns arrive on scene.

Even before the dead at Ft. Hood had been identified, media fools were on the air talking about getting more gun control laws to prevent such events. It’s the same old argument, people don’t kill people, guns do. That is a silly argument. It’s like the usual headlines regarding an accident involving an SUV; SUV runs red light kills three. The SUV didn’t run the red light. The idiot driving while talking on the cell did.

One boob even compared the Ft. Hood shooting to the Luby’s massacre. Intoning in a serious manner that Texas laws were changed after the shootings – implying that even in Texas tighter gun-control laws were adopted after Luby’s. The guy, a FOX radio reporter Mike Macowitz (SP?), is a clueless fool.

New gun laws were adopted in TX after the Luby’s massacre. In 1995 the Texas Legislature passed a shall-issue gun law, which requires that all qualifying applicants be issued a Concealed Handgun License, removing the personal discretion of the issuing authority to deny such licenses. TX knew back in 1995 what John Lott has proven since, more guns equals less crime.

The law was changed in part due to the testimony of Suzanna Hupp at an inquiry looking into the Luby’s massacre. Hupp told investigators that she had brought a handgun to Luby's the day of the massacre but had left it in her vehicle because laws in force at the time forbade the carrying of firearms. Both of Hupps’ parents were killed at Luby’s. She has regretted not violating the law since.

As for the human debris that committed this act of domestic terrorism, (yeah TERRORISM! the word the King Dope and his merry band of morons cannot bring themselves to say) he should be “questioned” in the most aggressive manner possible to determine what other acts of terrorism he might know about. Then he should be turned over to the state of Texas to be prosecuted for murder and treason and executed by the end of the year.

As regular readers of this page know, I have a real problem with the death penalty. I believe that the state should have a death penalty, because if it deters even one murder over 100 years, it’s worth it. But if a state is going to have the law, it must be prepared to use it from time to time. Death penalty cases should be reserved for the most heinous crimes. Cases must be iron clad, fast tracked and the sentence administered quickly.

This case meets all of the criteria. Hassan should be dead before Christmas, before he has a chance for book deal ghost written by Bill Ayers and a Michael Moore made for tv movie starring Sean Penn as Hassan.

This really pisses me off.
