triggernometry

Here in our area there have been a couple of shootings that drew some national attention.

1. Someone shot a little girl, probably by mistake (well, you gotta expect some occasional "collateral damage" in these here urban wars, right?) whilst aiming at a porch full of other people. The girl was not on the porch. This points up once again the need for required gun-shootin' classes in them there schools. If the shooter had been properly trained in triggernometry, he would-a missed that little girl.

2. A gentleman with no criminal history, 3 legal handguns, and a permit to carry concealed weapons, shot two people to death in Owosso near here. One of the shootings took place in front of a high school full of students. In fact, it was students who rushed to the aid of the stricken man.

Now there ya go again: We gotta keep the guns out of the hands of criminals so decent folk can carry them and be safe. Umm, what's wrong with this picture?
