Former Marine dies in Gun-Free Zone.

Today a teenage gunman with a gun was more powerful than a US Marine without one. Think about that, the Marines are the toughest of the tough, longest basic training, I read the guy had done 3 tours of duty, yet thanks to our gun-free zones, some stupid teenager who stole his father’s gun was able to murder him and shoot two other students who are lucky to be alive.

“A gunman opened fire on a middle-school campus in a Nevada suburb early Monday, killing a popular math teacher and injuring two 12-year-old boys before turning the gun on himself.

 

The shooter, who used a semiautomatic handgun, was a male student at Sparks Middle School in suburban Reno, police said.

 

The teacher, identified by a family member as 45-year-old Michael Landsberry, was killed while trying to intervene when the attack broke out at 7:16 a.m.

 

“Mike was wonderful with kids and enjoyed his job,” Ms. Tibbals said. A Facebook page under Mr. Landsberry’s name noted he was a former U.S. Marine and had celebrated his wedding anniversary last Friday.

…..

The shooting came after Sparks Middle School had joined all other campuses in the Washoe County district in implementing a new program called Safe Zones. The program created zones, or classrooms at each school where students can go to escape bullying or harassment, “due to the increase in gang activity, bullying, violence to students by other students,” according to the school’s website.”

Well, I’m glad the Safe Zones program worked, not. I read on USA Today that the marine actually tried to talk to the gunman, who responded by shooting him. See? We can’t talk to crazy killers, with the exception of one woman in Atlanta, school shooters are rarely looking to talk to someone. Yet our altruistic culture tends to celebrate doves over the hawks, weak over the strong. If the marine had had his gun and had shot that little bastard, liberals would be whining that a tragic life was lost. Instead, today they’ll be blaming the grieving father for having a gun in the first place. They’ll say “if he hadn’t had a gun, his son would not have stolen it.” Sure, and if you don’t have marijuana, your kids won’t buy marijuana from someone else. Nice logic, liberals, just like your logic about gun-free zones.
