People like different things and if he likes blasting things with his arsenal that is his right.<br /> <br />somehow we have to get from there to stopping kids and others from bringing guns into school. it is mostly kids though.. seems like guns need to be locked up.. maybe in an armory setup for the parents.. <br /><br />something.Joey Blauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185289301820663520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-37932854353750813852014-06-16T12:11:09.103-04:002014-06-16T12:11:09.103-04:00I will again concern-troll my favorite blogger on ...I will again concern-troll my favorite blogger on the gun issue. A Google of "Earl Milliron stockmaker" turns up 27,000 hits, so he (if it's the same person) is well known in this field. However, he's apparently famous for finely crafted wooden stocks fitted to traditional long arms. A quick perusal turns up no associations with modern assault weapons, concealable handguns, or other weapons designed for killing people. Maybe some people find it creepy to attach aesthetic value to killing tools, but I'd rather focus on the guys who want to stockpile plain-looking military weapons.<br /><br />Based on what we know, trying to place any blame for Padgett's crime on someone like Milliron is the kind of thing that motivates otherwise responsible sporting gun owners to pay their NRA dues.mtar925https://www.blogger.com/profile/02963566709425263755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-71017502367033101662014-06-16T12:10:36.274-04:002014-06-16T12:10:36.274-04:00I'm not 100% that this is the same Earl Millir...<i>I'm not 100% that this is the same Earl Milliron, but he's old enough (86)</i><br /><br />Then why not confirm this before tying him to this kid? Leave the "Irresponsible not to speculate" crap to the right. <br /><br /><i>It's just striking to me that the shooter had a spiritual counselor who was a gunmaker, if that's the case.</i><br /><br />Seriously? Why? These events are tragic enough without people running around playing Connect the Dots. <br /><br /><i>If it's true that a spiritual adviser was intimately involved with guns, how could Padgett see them as anything other than a good thing?</i> <br /><br />Wow. This is just really sloppy. <br /><br />You have an 86 year old man whom you <b>think</b> once made gun stocks who has a connection to the family. <br /><br />And you think a teenager paid enough attention to some old fart who came to the house once a month said to decide "Wow, I really like old fart and since he made guns, I think Guns Are Good." <br /><br />Or something. I honestly have no idea what you're trying to do here. <br /><br />Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390791792685104671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-16902930649634114572014-06-15T08:14:08.844-04:002014-06-15T08:14:08.844-04:00Some mighty fine research, Steve.

Instead, I blame the marketers and shills who glamorize the gun culture.<br />Hunting rifles have a place in our society. AK-47s and Saturday Night Specials do not.
