Make sure you vote in the poll asking if there should now be a mandatory wait for long guns

[Eye of Unk]

Walmart does kill, he went there because buying the gun was “for less”.

[yield 2 the right]

Wal-Mart better watch out for the lawyers...

[Tigercap]

they pulled the poll

Poll is still up. Click on "cast your vote" in the middle of the page. See #1

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Why would they bring Johnny High to an Orlando hospital? There are three in Marion County. Even Shands at UF in Gainesville is closer than Orlando.

I think the whole purpose of the “waiting period” on guns, is for the reason of not having one readily available to act out like this man did, in heat of passion, etc.

True, he could have used another form of weaponry, but what if he didn’t want to get his hands dirty? What if he was only able to bring himself to use a gun? Then if he had to wait, he may have thought about his intentions and changed his mind.

Maybe...just maybe.

A trial layer’s dream. Man kills wife with a gun he bought at Wal-Mart. Oh did I mention, trial lawyers contribute more money to Democrats than any other group.

[Hazcat]

People buying firearms at gun shows and person to person are not subject to background checks.

Flat out lie! ONLY person to person sales are exempt from background check.

[Hazcat]

FREEP the poll on the site! PLEASE, I’m a Floridian and we need all the help we can get.

[ozzymandus]

Stupid liberals. If he’d bought a chain saw and cut her into pieces, would this story even have made the news?

[Dionysius]

If High survives, he will sue Wal-Mart for selling him the gun (a hundred lawyers will insist upon it). In Orlando he may just win.

[El Gato]

I guess it would have been OK if he’d undergone the 3 day wait, and then killed her. Or, frustrated in his attempt to buy a gun at Wally World, bought and ax and gave her forty whacks instead.

[Fido969]

Wal-Mart will back off in a hurry and pull guns from it’s store.

Which is too bad - guns should be MORE accessible, not less accessible.

The average person doesn't wander into a gunshop to shop around, and frankly, gunshops often aren't the most family-friendly places, how often have you gone into one and some obscene loud-mouth is there talking trash and trying to show off to everyone? I'd be embarrassed to bring my daughter into some of these places.

By marginalizing guns and making them more exotic, the public at large will change its perception of them.

[Fido969]

In addition, background checks are only required at federally-licensed gun stores. People buying firearms at gun shows and person to person are not subject to background checks.

Gratuitous throw-away.

People buying firearms at gun shows and person to person are not subject to background checks.

Liar, Liar!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

But they were on sale at Gander Mountain this week! What was he thinking? ;)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

See this one?

[tiki]

Wal-Mart stopped selling guns in their store here so I guess I couldn’t do that.

[beltfed308]

Yes 275 43%

No 372 57%

Thank God he didn’t buy a 6-pack of beer and a pack of smokes with that shotgun at Wal-Mart. The Left would have positively gone orgasmic.
