Va Pilot: Going to the gun range makes you a murderer

According to notoriously left-leaning Virginian-Pilot, going to the gun range makes you a murderer or something. The next time I see a LEO at the local range, I think I'll turn myself in.

Just in case :dunno:

Friend: Va. tech shooter had visited gun range

RADFORD, Va. - The man who authorities say killed a Virginia Tech police officer had visited a shooting range this year but hadn't gone for several months because he didn't have bullets for his gun, according to a friend.

Matt Dailey told The Roanoke Times in a story published Sunday that he considered 22-year-old Ross Truett Ashley his best friend. Authorities say Ashley killed police officer Deriek Crouse on the Virginia Tech campus while the officer made a traffic stop Thursday, then killed himself not long after.

Dailey said he and Ashley had made two or three trips to the shooting range — the same one used by Seung-Hui Cho, the gunman who killed 32 people and then himself on the campus in 2007.

Reading anything the Pilot writes can lead to brain damage ... They're one sided issues are BS at best and I wouldn't subject my trash to being wrapped in that crap rag.

Tut Tut Tut.

Ya'll have obviously missed the point:

The guy couldn't afford to go to the range or buy bullets. Next thing you know he cracked and shot the first cop he found. If the government maintained free shooting ranges in every community and gave away free bullets right along with the gummint cheese, this wouldn't have happened. Somebody ought to post THAT on the Virginian-Pilot's comment page.

There goes the price of bullets.... That story still does not make sense to me. What exactly is it supposed to convey to the readers? Freaking media.

Sadly this is an Associated Press article, so the brain death is on a national level.

:confused:

Why would you turn yourself in to a fellow murderer? Seems like a merger would be a better proposition... :whistle:

I was thinking they were going to the range which is what made them murderers...does a brass badge somehow protect you from these dangerous affects?

Maybe it's just the effect of brass. Perhaps we should all wear brass helmets to the range from now on.

While the article doesn't come out and directly make the murderer = gun range visitor connection, it is unfortunate that it seems to be hinting at that connection. The irony I see? The officer that was killed, iirc, was a certified firearms instructor. I guess that officer spent a lot of time training murderers at the range :roll:
I also have to admit being mystified that they have yet to come up with a motive in all of this. I guess the shooter was just bat crazy and decided he was going to kill a random police officer. From what I've read the officer seemed like a good guy which makes the random aspect of this murder that much more disturbing.
