		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I would think some of the victims’ families might be inclined to view Virginia Tech’s “gun free” policy “terribly offensive” as people that abide by policies are not those that shoot innocent people.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
As Tammi likes to say...

True story.

Tammi,

I hadn't heard about the Indianapolis shooting until the twins died.  So heartbreaking.  

In some ways, I think that the fact that they are &lt;i&gt;twins&lt;/i&gt; highlights the fact that they are human babies - after all, you don't have "twin" "products of conception" or "uterine tissue."  You are having &lt;i&gt;twins&lt;/i&gt;, not two foetuses.

&lt;blockquote&gt;I actually see him visiting the campus as an honorable thing to do.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I'm with you.  He's not coming there and saying, "I would sell a gun to someone like him all over again, any day, even knowing what would happen."  He's saying, "I feel beyond horrible, and I want to ensure that this kind of thing never happens again."  The people who are "offended" by common decency are the scum of the earth... in my humble opinion, of course.</description>

		<description>Hi Roxeanne,

I had not heard yet that the lady in Indianapolis had lost her twins. Last I heard, she was in critical but stable condition. So sad. So pointless. That ignorant freak had no reason to shoot her and those babies. I pray she will be comforted in her time of grief.

I'm with Sam regarding the VA Tech tragedy. I would be more offended by the gun free zone than by Eric Thompson speaking on campus. I actually see him visiting the campus as an honorable thing to do.</description>

I agree that the "unborn twins" wording was probably an oversight, but I too am glad they didn't choose minimize the tragedy by using more pro-choice friendly wording.</description>
