Since we only have TWO hands, what difference does it make that anyone owns THIRTEEN Guns?

“Since we only have TWO hands, what difference does it make that anyone owns THIRTEEN Guns?”

On obvious point that the media *always* ignores.

Of course, there are many reasons to have more guns, as spares, for special purposes, for sentimental reasons.

But one that they despise is that it allows a person to arm others in time of need.

True. Some show up at the range in balaclavas or kufi caps, & chant “Allahu akbar!” when they score the 10 ring.

I don’t know much about the mother, really. The one thing I think where she made a grave mistake is in not having somewhere to store the weapons that didn’t allow unfettered access, especially if she may have been concerned about how stable he may or may not have been.

She shouldn’t be condemned for having 13 guns for any reason she saw fit - whether out of fear of government gun grabbing, or just a plain love of guns. We all have our own reasons, and there is nothing in the Second Amendment about ‘reason’ one way or the other.

Mmmmm.....
Son has Asbergers ( does NOT in & of itself a murderer make. I have a niece with Asbergers). Son has other mental health issues. Son lasted 1 month in Army.

Mom has large number of weapons, as is her right. But with rights come responsibilities. The Second Amendment is no different. Anyone exercising the right to “keep and bear arms” has a responsibility to secure those arms.

Mom, a licensed LPN (not a Nurse Practitioner) according to the Oregon registry does not take precautions to secure her weapons despite the history of emotional instability of her son.

These murders were caused by a failure of the family, not society.

I am 61. There is no way I could get into my 87 year old father-in-law’s gun safe absent a few sticks of dynamite. (He can't either). Either Mom had no safe or she kept it unlocked or shared combination with son.

It is harder and harder for them to rewrite history because of the Internet, patriot blogs, Talk Radio, iphones, etc., We used to have to wait until 6:00 for Cronkite to tell us his slanted version of the twisted truth. No more. We are the news cycle. Possibly some of these shootings are being staged. Create the PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION!

Windows of opportunity are slipping away and it appears some are working faster and faster. They know their time is short. Just my humble opinion.

My whole reason for the thread was to show how they are spinning it.

Again, mother is not a Nurse Practitioner as stated in the article. Lazy or trying to make her into something she is not?

It is almost as if they want her to be more than a black LPN. There is nothing wrong with being an LPN, but constantly stating she is a NP assigns an educational level she does not have. I am an RN. I do not have the educational level of a NP and would not pretend otherwise.

( BTW-a higher level of education does not always make for a better nurse. Many times it is about real world clinical experience and floor smarts. Some of my best teachers in the clinical setting have been experienced LPNs. Patients get the best care when staff works as a team. Neither here nor there but I wanted to throw that in. )

It is as if they want her to be seen as a professional black woman for fear of being seen as an angry black woman.

Not ranting against you, Grandpa Dave..just the false info in this article as well as others. I have searched the registries in California and Oregon as well as the National Database. I have used all name combinations.

Not everyone who goes to a range is a conservative,

From the article:

When Harper's nursing agency held a meeting in Steele's house three weeks ago with the other nurses assigned to the family, the agency asked Harper to take a photo for a badge, but she refused.

“The four other nurses took photos, but she refused,” Steele said. “She said she didn't like her picture taken and that was it. They told her it might help to identify her in case of an emergency, and she said, 'All I need is my stethoscope.’”

"She was a wonderful nurse in that she was very detail oriented,” Steele added. “But she was always very edgy.”

I think that the mom is the key to understanding this, and is the reason the MSM don't want to talk about her.

She doesn't like having her picture taken. She has a large collection of guns, and makes a point of having her nutso son trained in their use.

I suspect a thorough search of her past may uncover a connection to a black radical group.
