World's First Massacre Scene?

NRA response, "If the victims had guns, none of this would have happened."

"Scientists have made a grisly discovery at what was once a lagoon in Kenya: The remains of 27 people, including eight women and six children, who were violently killed some 10,000 years ago.

One of the victims was a pregnant woman who appeared to have been bound.

Another was a man who took an arrow to the head and apparently survived, only to die from a crushing blow to the right side of his head. The obsidian arrow was still there, embedded in his skull. "
