    Yes, Poin, that rifle is 'for real' and has been accessorized with custom stock, grip, scope, bipod and other things.

    They don't sell all of that at Walmart.

    This is a horrifying, terrible tragedy. God be with all of us.

    Folks, I know we're all charged up by what went on today. But keep the politics out of it, please. There's a thread for it, and for now, this should be about the unfolding news events only. Thank you.

    I am not saying Canada has all the answers and we have our share of gun violence but, fuck me, you guys have got to find a way to put a stop to this shit. I know that's simplistic but how the fuck can someone watch this and advocate somebody's right to own a fucking gun like that? Jesus Christ....

    Just saw a report via NBC that the shooter's parents were found dead in their home, have not heard it elsewhere.

    And there's a Ryan Lanza on Twitter who posted this seven hours ago:

    Ryan Lanza ‏@Bitch_Lanza
    game day fellas.

    But there isn't other identifying info that I could find, and I guess it's a common enough name that it could be someone else.

    My wife just showed me the tweet from someone named Ryan Lanza. Not sure if it's supposed to be as chilling as it appears.

    CBS reporting the shooter's mother was a teacher at the school: she is allegedly among the dead.

    Well pardon my French, but fuck you, Ryan Lanza, you evil fuck. I hope you rot in Hell for eternity.

    I don't think this is the shooter. Based on the photo compared to his facebook page, plus the other people in his twittersphere. I think he's a high school athlete, and Friday would make sense as a "gameday."
