I'm on Rocky Mountain Gun Owners' email list, and I didn't get that email. I'd like to win an AR-15.

Well, Randy, I've known five people who were killed in car accidents. One was my best friend from childhood, one was a very beautiful girl with whom I was very much in love.

Somehow, none of that created conflicted feelings about cars.

As soon as the hoopla died down about this on the national news, I knew it was a lefty involved in the shooting.

Everything in this article is me me me my memory I did this ...

Working in a newsroom, and he claimed ‘.....I’m still waiting for a good-guy citizen to stop a bad guy.’ All the digging he did is to get the statistics about more gun deaths/gun violence. Completely one-sided if you ask me.

He’s waiting for ‘a good guy stop bad guy with gun’ story to drop right into his lap? Sheesh!

“Shooting at school creates conflicted feelings about socialism.”

Socialism is really the axiom to communism, via Stalin’s comment. “It is proof positive that you can break an enormous number of eggs and still not produce an omelet.”

What you are left with is a whole bunch of broken, spoiled eggs, producing vast amounts of stinky hydrogen sulfide.

It is heavier than air, very poisonous, corrosive and extremely unpleasant to smell. Socialism.

Further investigation probably reveal that this is another proggressive liberal pretending to be a conservative using a false pseudonym. They know that the weaker-minded will fall for it so they’re playing themselves off as “one of us”. Get ready to see images of mothers crying about their babies, children shot in schools (always done by liberals), and spots of rednecks carrying AR-15’s over their shoulders and getting into confrontations with police officers (staged of course).

The author needs to hang out on FR. I literally cannot tell you how many threads I've seen that detail bad guys stopped by good guy citizens. I was surprised that someone hadn't jumped on that by now, but it's early yet.

This article is really the same old, same old . . . "I'm a Republican, but this time . . ." or "I'm a gun owner, but this time . . ."

Rush calls these "seminar callers / writers" out all the time.

Well, here's a story of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a knife.

There have been 23 mass shootings in the United States since Sandy Hook.

BS. There's been 1 - the DC Navy Yard. The 23 figure comes from here, the reliably leftist Telegraph.

I’m definitely sending this thread to him and inviting him to visit us.

Hang on a minute. You might cause him to be “conflicted” with the truth once he presented with it. Seriously? This is the type of clown that doesn’t quite understand that inanimate objects are just that. He also doesn’t get the fact that bad people will do bad things regardless of any rules, regulations or laws that are enacted. Sounds like he needs to load up his SUV and tote his guns down to the local police and do the fine-stein thing. Turn em in before they go on a rampage. Didiot.

I really think this guy is full of BS.

True down he is a hard core anti spouting the line I was a gun owner.

Thinking this well make his anti gun BS more believable.

He is anti.

Well, Randy, with your built in bias toward gungrabbing your ‘reason’ will always disappoint you. Plenty of good guys stop badguys everyday. It may not happen in the ‘gun free zones’ that YOU created in the places where children go and where psycho killers may roam unmolested, because well...

I’m still waiting for a good-guy citizen to stop a bad guy.

This quote from the article tells me that the journalist isn't paying any attention. This stuff happens all the time -- and has happened at some school shootings.

The guy is 100% anti-gun and is being dishonest about it by claiming to be "conflicted".

Randy is a 60 year old reporter (and, apparently - narcissist), who can’t figure out how he got on the mailing list of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Association. Wow!

Frankly, I think he should have more angst about nearing the end of his career at a small town paper that is of the same caliber as its nearby university. Greeley used to be the rape capitol of Colorado. Perhaps there’s a follow up story to that phenomenon that he could write about, and then tie it in to a (perhaps) well armed (or smartly armed) female population.

Rush calls these "seminar callers / writers" out all the time.

The more correct label is either "Fudd" or "Zumbo" where the writer claims being a "hunter" in order to get some moral high ground in his own mind. I notice he makes no reference to the firearm used by the Arapahoe shooter, a shotgun, same as what he has pursued pheasant with in the memories he relates in the article. Tends to erode his contrived "moral high ground," seems to me.

I am an alumnus of that university, and they have fixed that problem, by requiring card access at all residence halls.

Makes it a pain in the ass for pizza delivery people, but there have been no rapes since. Nope, none.

Randy's gonna love reading this thread. 8 ~)
