Crappy angle on the story here. If he had used multiple guns or even taken off with multiple guns, then I could see the relevance of it.
A better story would have been to question whether socialization is impaired or there is a risk of socialization being impaired by home schooling. I'm not saying it is or isn't, but I think it would have had more relevance as a topic and made for a better article with the ability to gather expert opinions about it.
Then you get follow up features by people advising you on things to do to improve your home schooling program or to avoid the possibility of isolation or a lack of socialization, etc. If the article reveals a problem or potential problem, you can address it with positive suggestions.
It's a much better tack than GUNS! GUNS! GUNS! BAD! BAD! BAD!
If he'd stabbed them, I wonder if we'd have seen:
134 knives found in home of Pa. murder suspect
Teen accused of killing girlfriend’s parents is being held without bail

LITITZ, Pa. - Police seized 134 knives from the home of an 18-year-old man charged with killing his girlfriend’s parents and fleeing the state with her, according to court documents filed Thursday.
Warwick Township police removed the collection of filet knives, steak knives, butcher knives and other cutlery Sunday from the home where suspect David Ludwig lived with his parents. The search occurred as police were still trying to find him and 14-year-old Kara Beth Borden.
Ludwig was being held without bail on murder and kidnapping charges after being flown back to Pennsylvania on Tuesday from Indiana, where police captured him following a chase.
Police allege Ludwig stabbed Michael and Cathryn Borden on Sunday at their home in Lititz following an argument over his relationship with Kara. The two had been dating, apparently secretly, according to friends and witnesses.
Ludwig was arrested Monday after crashing his parents’ car into a tree in Belleville, Ind., about 600 miles from the murder scene, during a police chase. Neither Ludwig nor the girl, who has not been charged, was injured in the crash.
Investigators have said they are treating Kara Borden as a victim but that the investigation is continuing.
Ludwig’s parents, Gregory and Jane Ludwig, issued a statement Wednesday expressing their sorrow over the slayings but have not spoken publicly. They have not returned multiple phone messages seeking comment.
It was unclear whether the confiscated weapons belonged to Ludwig or his parents.
Teen liked to eat
David Ludwig apparently was an avid eater and posted 20 pictures labeled “Thanksgiving 2004” on a Web site that included an image of him posing with freshly carved turkey.
Neither of Ludwig’s parents is registered as a restaurateur or chef, according to the licensing department of the state Department of Health.
Police were not immediately available Thursday to comment on the search. Lancaster County District Attorney Donald Totaro declined to comment, and attorneys for Ludwig did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment.
The Bordens were each stabbed once in the head with what authorities said was probably a large butcher knife.
Mike Borden worked for a printing company, and his children were home-schooled, said neighbor Tod Sherman. Sherman said the family knew Ludwig through a home-schooling network.
Kara’s 13-year-old sister, Katelyn, told investigators her parents were stabbed after they argued with Ludwig for about an hour, according to court papers.
