Horse slaughter houses are currently legal in the US (they were banned for a while) but there aren't any so horses get shipped to Mexico instead. There is at least one horse slaughterhouse trying to open up in the US but the USDA is foot-dragging the process.

Ahh, but would it have been prevented if he didn't have access to a gun? Sandy Hook wasn't the worst elementary school incident -- that distinction goes to a disgruntled politician and his homemade bomb.. (James Holmes also booby-trapped his apartment with homemade explosives).
