Crap... but still too late for AWB sunset. But the new AWB maybe a possibility... more so in State level.
I live in Kalifornia, so I'm screwed already. Hope this guy wasn't a close friend Bob. |

if this is the mike i'm thinking of, i am not 'close' to him, but have known him for about 15 years. dinkydow and all the other n.e. ohio gun guys know big mikie, also.
from the video, it said mike used a semi-auto. mike had tons of ar's and hardware to choose from. this cannot be good. from the article's description of a "truckload" of guns & stuff...well, that sure sounds like mike. damn...i'm kinda shaken up over hearing this one. dinkydow...you out there, man? any of my clevetown friends in on this one? www.mlive.com/newsflash/national/index.ssf?/base/national-30/1094585994322711.xml&storylist=national Man killed after wounding 3 in Ohio town 9/7/2004, 7:02 p.m. ET By JOE MILICIA The Associated Press GENEVA, Ohio (AP) — A man opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle on the town's main thoroughfare as residents headed to work Tuesday, wounding three people. The gunman was killed. Police Chief Dan Dudik would not confirm the man killed himself but said no one else, including police, had fired any shots. The shootings took place about 500 feet from an elementary school. Several children were on their way to class, but none was hurt. Michael J. Harwood, 32, of nearby Madison, fired about 50 shots from a .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle fitted with a telescopic sight, the police chief said. Dudik would not discuss a possible motive but said Harwood was aiming at a specific car, whose driver was wounded and in guarded condition at a hospital. A second motorist was wounded and was listed in satisfactory condition. A pedestrian was treated for a gunshot wound and was released. The man opened fire while walking along a sidewalk at about 8 a.m., said mechanic Bob Hill, who ducked behind cars for safety. Scott Burr was getting ready to walk his children to school when he heard shots. "I sent all my kids back in the house," Burr said. "There was a guy at the end of the road with a gun. I saw him shooting a car up and shooting at the guy as he was running down the road covered in blood." Milt Berry, who was working on a telephone cable, and a co-worker jumped into the hole they had dug, called 911 on a cell phone and stayed there until police arrived. Geneva is a town of about 6,500 residents, about 45 miles northeast of Cleveland. |

He fired 50 shots from a scoped rifle--and managed to *wound* three?? Considering he had a "truckload" of rifles, he had to have been deliberately not trying to kill, as his skill level would certainly be much higher than indicated by his end result. Enough weirdness in this to fill a meeting of Democrats.
 Either way--very sad. Crap.

Channel 19 at 4 PM said his best friend, Steve Phillips was "seeing" his woman of many years.
With over 50 rounds fired, he got Steve. Mike supposedly worked on county sheriff's weapons and they also confiscated an MG-43, amongst other things. I don't know if he was FFL or class 3, but the various news coverages stated it could have been much worse with what he had available. |

Doh! Well, now we know why he missed so damn much...that donut recticle is for shit  Seriously...that sucks. He must have known he was driving down a one-way, dead-end street when he pulled this, too...*sigh* I want to feel sorry for the guy, but I can't. What I do feel sorry about is that instead of doing a good old-fashioned asskicking, he had to go to the extreme and give every shooter and collector a bad name, not to mention dealers..

A woman can REALLY screw up your head, I can tell you.
However, muder/suicide is not the way to deal with it. A former asshat member here insulted this fellow at BF campsite (canoe livery) a few years ago. Wonder if he knows how close he came? So sad - & such a waste. I hope for a speedy recovery for the innocent bystanders who were wounded. This REALLY sucks! |

I'm with you Campy, been down that road, and after a lot of pain my head is on straight.
For the rest of you, there isn't one of them that can't be replaced. I know a lot of you are going to come down on me for this, but every one of them is replaceable. Even yours. Take it from someone with experience, and save yourself a lot of needless pain. I dearly love Lady Rain, but she would be out, and replaced in a minute if she tried to drag me through it. Sad to say, but there are too many lovely women out there that would love to meet a decent guy for ANY of you to do damage to yourself, or another human being for. They just aren't worth it. If they do you wrong, thank the Lord for letting you find out, then move on. Lick your wounds, then go out looking for someone good. They are looking for you too. Sorry for all that knew this man, and lost a friend. Sorry for this man who lost his way. |

I think it says .223 weapon because the media has no fucking idea what a Steyr Aug is. I think this is the first time one has been used so publically for a crime. Shit if I were going to bite the bullet mind as well get one of them safe queens out, its not like you can take it with you. No woman is worth biting the bullet for unless its your kid or mom.

tim, there is nothing coincidental about this.
the timing just happened to be when mike flipped the switch in his head. there is no conspiracy here. mike just happened to lose it after thinking too long about a problem he should have blown away...instead of his friend. women come...women go. you only have one life. he had so much talent and a whole lot of his life was ahead of him. |

Considering the field day the papers could have had with this story , "Mad Sniper", Machine Gun, Assault Weapon, etc, and played it damn straight. The thinking that this is part of a conspiracy, especially after you have guys that know him indicated he was a good guy reeks of tin foil that needs loosening.
