They just said on the news that they went to his mothers house and it looks like there may be a body inside but idk if they've entered the home yet.

Edit- they just confirmed that one of the shooters parents was just found dead in new Jersey.

This gives Barack Obama the exact reason for implementing his gun ban !

Schools are just gonna have to have expensive safety measures put into place...like Metal detectors & a full time Trained security or police officer on duty while school is in session....bottom line, it will cost the tax payers more in the long run thanks to these idiots that do these cowardly & selfish acts of hatred.

Better start saving up & buying all the guns and ammo right now !

Agreed. When i was a kids we always had student resource officers in the school too. They were armed. Apparently the shooter only used two handguns but had a bushmaster ar15 in his car that he didnt use as far as they know. Theyll throw a fit that he had an ar though even if he didnt use it.

my prayers go out to all the kids and families affected by this horrific event. I have a 2.5yr old and was hit hard when parents talked about running up to the school and wondering if their kid was a victim or a survivor. That is some scary stuff and I would go bizerk if I found out my 5yr old or 10 yrs old was shot by some wanna be call of duty pimply faced nerd.

Now about your quote......what would you like me to do. Post up deals on guns and ammo. Go political and say how we can't afford all this added security since we are providing security for the whole world. We don't have money for our local school We only have money for Oil, afghanistan, and iraq.

Immediate reaction was to go the school and get our 5yr old out of class -

remember - respect and love are the only things that matter - not laws - and racing of course -

faiz23, not sure what your asking me ? All I'm saying is that the bottom line is always the Tax payers will be paying for the added costs for protecting our children in school from these idiots !

Fithamoto...sorry I was just rambling and venting. Just frustrated that I came back from a movie and a Cop was posted up. If we can have cops in movie theaters why can't we have them in schools. I have no problem reducing our military spending and having police posted up on campus. I doubt our lawmakers will like the idea of not invading every country.

Sweet pic Mike! How to do??

Bad news... I took my hi-flow cat down and it turns out to be the problem. It was my first thought, but then had hope that maybe it was just the O2 sensor. Well the sensor is bad, but it's a result of the cat coming apart on the inside and fouling the sensor. Now I have to buy new cats AND a sensor.

thanks Eric! i did a vibrancy adjustment and then used a dodge color tool along with some exposure and "toon" adjustments - the color in the back is from the dodge tool though - once i got that background i was like ooo thats kinda neato

I don't think its worth the money to buy a catalytic converter - i don't know how much they are - but i don't think its worth the money - all i ever hear is they fall apart - not just on Z's either.

I hope i can get rid of mine and get a tune after the new year - be done with the nonsense :P

Mine seemed fine, and I got them Rob with the G. Hard to say for sure though. Now they just sit in the garage. I definitely like how the ART Pipes use the stock mount, which the HFC's I had didn't do.

What do you mean Stu? Stock mounts not being used? Mine bolt up exactly like the stock cats.

The only thing different is the stock cats have two pressed-in studs on the flange, but the HFCs just have nuts and bolts to assemble. Otherwise everything mounts as factory.
