Someone once said, “You never hear of them shooting up a police station.”

No, I think irony is when something’s true.
Sarcasm begins and ends in jest.

Madmen are not crazy - that is why they target gun free zones.I'd be willing to bet this perp thought the church was a gun free zone. A lot of them are. But he was wrong. Now, he's dead wrong.

Well, I suppose I could Google a definition as well, but I just figured that it’s pretty clear to the audience that this is fiction.
Your definition still holds up though, since it appears that Ms. Brady, as a central character is clueless to the irony of her own ramblings (as she will forever be).

"Church Massacre Spurs Calls For Effective Gun Control... What they needed was bigger letters on the sign." Responsible people practice gun control:

Sarah Brady is an idiot with an agenda. Her anti-gun demagoguery is played out as a sick version of "Weekend at Bernie's" with her husband carted around as a poster boy prop.

Sarah Brady needs to be in jail on "accessory to murder" charges from her groups advocacy of victim disarmament laws.
I will continue to bring this point up until someone starts throwing gun hating liberals in jail...

How about locking up Sarah Brady? She’s a disgusting, repulsive looking, mindless yenta.

OK Dude, you have to use the satire tag. I just read the first few lines and thought I was going crazy. Googled the shooting to make sure I had it right.
Not real funny.

They need to ban churches. If there wasn’t a church there, he wouldn’t have gone on his killing spree.</sarc>

Read the article more carefully.
>and pointed out the "gun-free zone" sign at the church entrance
Finally, per Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Assam
The article is a parallel universe farce. Jeane Assam killed the shooter, and only a few died in reality, not 73.

“As a mass memorial service was held today for the seventy-three victims of the massacre”
How did the toll go to 73?
I thought it was like 4 to 7.
I know I am not now in the US, but maybe I am now in another universe.

'Not real funny.' I don't think it was meant to be funny but more as an alternate of what could have happened if the liberal 'gun free zone' zealets got their way...
On the other hand, the responses...
Whose tag is it (proudly posting without reading [or understanding] the article since 200)?
Somebodys gonna get hurt in here...
The article is great, but these responses are HILARIOUS!!!
Come on people!
To: NonZeroSum
what we need is wacko control.
Strangely believe it, wackoism is self regulating. They are killing trhemselves off.

I’ve learned to check for satire but I think you caught a few other posters this time.
