@#5- Yes, John: Any attempt whatsoever to control my possession and use of hyphens is an egregious infringement of my First Amendment rights. It’s the first step down a slippery slope that could lead to a revocation of my right to use all kinds of punctuation or words.

Thou shalt not in-gratiously infringe on my divinely-granted right to use superfluously-injected-hyphenation if I damn-well please. So-there!

This one was different, in that the shooter apparently targeted two specific students. Also, he used a shotgun, not an assault rifle or other gun with a high capacity magazine.

Groups trying to out-NRA the NRA reminds me of the bona fide conservatives in Congress who get “primaried” by somebody even further to the Right.
