\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The deadliest school attack in this country — deadliest school attack in American history — was in 1927. That was the Bath School murders. Thirty-eight children and seven adults were killed, including the killer himself. Oh. He didn\u2019t use guns. He used dynamite. That\u2019s right. No guns were used in the deadliest school attack in American history. But some people would say, “Well, wait a minute, Rush. What about Waco? Waco holds the record.”<\/p>\n

Yeah, that wasn\u2019t technically a school. But at Waco, 74 men, women, and children died (including 12 children under the age of five). That, by the way, did involve guns. In fact: Government guns, tanks and flamethrowers, and a number of other things. It was the attorney general, Janet Reno. Yeah, 1927 was the deadliest school attack. I know this doesn\u2019t matter because…<\/line><\/p>\n

(New Castrati impression) “Come on, Mr. Limbaugh! None of us were alive in 1927. You\u2019re just trying to divert people\u2019s…”<\/p>\n

No, no. I always like to try to bring perspective to things. Everybody… See, I have this belief. Everybody thinks that history began when they were born. Everybody\u2019s historical perspective begins the day that they were born, and everybody thinks they\u2019re living in the last days. Not everybody, but every generation has people that think it\u2019s over. Every generation, from beginning of time, has people who believe we are in the last days<\/p>\n

Whether biblically or otherwise. So if you can point to a time in American history when it was worse than it was today, just to keep a little perspective, that helps. But no, no, no, no. “This is the worst!” Because there\u2019s a political agenda that has to be advanced. So we\u2019re not gonna talk about 1927, we\u2019re not talk about dynamite, we\u2019re not gonna talk about Waco, \u2019cause that doesn\u2019t help the agenda. And don\u2019t discount the importance of the agenda.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it\u2019s true. It\u2019s undeniable. Every generation, every one has people who believe that the days they are alive are the last days, either in a biblical sense or an economic sense or just in an overall sense. Now, the people who believe that today are divided into many groups. They\u2019re called the Preppers. There are other groups, survivalists and so forth. Some of them believe that it is the result of an encroaching, unstoppable big government. Others believe that it\u2019s biblical. Others believe it\u2019s gonna have to do with the economy. That we\u2019re simply gonna run out of stuff for everybody and what you have is gonna come down to what you can take. There will not be a chance to earn anything. I mean, I think that\u2019s a fundamental characteristic of every generation. <\/p>\n

Look, let me give you one more stat about the worst school killing in the nation\u2019s history. Again, it took place in Bath Township, Michigan, back in 1927. Thirty-eight children, seven adults killed, including the killer. He used dynamite, not guns. And you know why? His name was Andrew Kehoe, K-e-h-o-e, 55 years old. He was mad at being defeated in the election for town clerk in 1926. Now, how do you stop that? Isn\u2019t that what everybody ostensibly is concerned about now? How do you stop this? And I\u2019m just here to tell you that any effort focused solely on taking guns<\/a> away from people is not gonna solve this. <\/p>\n
