Just want to say to all the libs like Bloomberg who are calling for an immediate ban of guns because of this: This is NOT the “worst mass murder ever” at a school. The worst happened in 1927 when 45 people, most of them children, were blown up in a school by a psycho named Andrew Kehoe. The point being: If they can’t get guns, they will kill in other ways, usually worse ways like fire. Liberals like Despot Bloomberg can scream till they are blue in the face, but the fact remains GUNS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SHOOTINGS! THE KILLER IS!

Good link.

Kehoe, 55, was school board treasurer. According to the Wikipedia:

On the morning of May 18, Kehoe murdered his wife by beating her to death, then set his farm buildings on fire using incendiary devices. As fire fighters arrived at the farm, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many schoolchildren. As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and detonated a bomb inside his vehicle with his Winchester rifle, killing himself and the school superintendent, and killing and injuring several others. During rescue efforts searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol planted throughout the basement of the school's south wing. Kehoe apparently had intended to blow up and destroy the whole school.

They say Adam Lanza was a bright kid. I wonder if he'd heard of Kehoe. Adam, when you arrive in Hell, prepare to be outclassed!
