MamaJD: April Is Gun-Toting Crazies Month

I have always felt that Tax Time brings out the worst in people. I am surprised, however, that not one single talking head on the networks has mentioned that April is developing a reputation for being Gun-Toting Crazies Month. Or at least it has with me. With the recent Virginia Tech shooting added to the list, April is apparently dangerous. In addition to Virginia Tech, we need to remember Waco, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and Columbine. All occurring within a few days of each other. I am sure there are others if given more time for research and fact check. I am serious about personal concern in previous years during the month of April -- MamaJD.

Question: Virginia Tech? Waco? Oklahoma City bombing? Columbine? Do you think MamaJD is onto something re: the attraction April has for the crazed killers?
