Don’t you have any compassion for the woman who died? I guess not.
Do you think that you could pass the Gun Safety class with your present knowledge? If so, what’s the big deal? I don’t get it.
That would involve a constitutional right to drive.......sorry the socialists didn;t read the constitution ......:o)
I don't know about other states, but in Californnia is a requirement that you take, and pass, a hunter safety class to purchase a handgun.
“...Don’t you have any compassion for the woman who died? I guess not...”
Yup.
For about three seconds.
Then, it very quickly morphs into “How will the scumbags on the other side try to use THIS incident to further erode my country, my rights, etc.,” with their “common sense” and “slippery slope” anal garbage, and how best to combat it.
Sorry pal. Doesn’t work with me. Cry me a river. MANY good, fine American men DIED to protect this right. It’s NOT going to go away easily.
She’s dead; he’s broken and going to jail, and the War for my Liberty and Freedom goes on and on. Just two more casualties, albeit that could have been avoided.
You want to talk about compassion? Fine - Let’s have that discussion...
I have MORE compassion for all the women who have been raped and strangled with their own pantyhose, beaten to within an inch of their lives by psycho husbands, murdered, bludgeoned, stabbed, slashed, dismembered, drowned, assaulted, etc., etc., all because some dumbass liberal gun control groups brainwashed them into believing that owning THE most effective means of self-defense, the ULTIMATE “democratic” tool that makes all men “equal” was too dangerous and should be banned.
To me, those women deserve compassion...
To me, the pieces of dogsh*t cretins in the gun control organizations that subliminally convinced them through all the stupid TV shows, and Oprah, and The View, and all the other idiotic programs designed to boost “self-esteem” at the expense of THINKING AND LOGIC..all those pieces of human garbage that convinced these women that it was better to DIE (because guns are too “scary”, or “violence never solves anything” or any of that other horsesh*t) rather than fight back then and there, rather than carry a gun and shoot the b*stard dead so he can’t hurt another innocent citizen, to me, THOSE POS’s are equally guilty of the murder of these innocent people and deserve to be publicly hanged from light poles.
How’s that for “compassion”, Pal?
I have more compassion for the millions of innocent civilians that were disarmed BY LAWS and then herded like cattle and led away to Killing Fields in Cambodia, to the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and Treblinka, to the Gulags and Re-Education Facilities and Psychiatric “Hospitals” in the Soviet Union, to the walls pockmarked with machine-gun bullet holes and stained red, without so much as even a shot being fired back at the jackbooted thugs...
To me, the scum who use the coercive power of the State and the law to disarm law-abiding citizens of the one way to defend and protect those they love should be arrested, brought before a Court, and publicly hanged for endangering and betraying the people they took an oath to serve.
Yeah, I have compassion. I also have resolve - that THESE scenarios WILL NOT HAPPEN in MY country or my personal sphere of influence as long as I can stop it.
THAT is the DUTY, OBLIGATION, and RESPONSIBILITY of being an AMERICAN CITIZEN. This ISN’T free. People DIED FOR THIS.
I believe I speak for a lot of others out here.
So - take your “compassion” and stuff it.
The gun discharged because his finger was on the trigger.
Cars come with mufflers and you don’t need the government’s permission to have one.
You don’t need the government’s permission to buy gasoline.
Firearm competitions have killed two people in the last 90 years.
"Common sense gun control," hmmm...where have I heard that one before?
I have an idea: why don't we have people take an intelligence test before they can vote?
You certainly don't want the ignorant, lazy or mentally retarded deciding the course of this country do you?
Oh wait, you're that Huffington post liberal from the Saddleback thread, so you do.
Seriously? I've shot literally hundreds of thousands of rounds, and witnessed literally millions more.
Seen exactly one non-life threatening injury.
Have you taken any training or are you self-taught?
As others have tried to get across to you, no amount of training can make someone conscientious.
I will support mandatory gun tests/training when you support poll tests/taxes
And, you may have missed some questions posed to you over here.
Trailerpark Badass: "Seriously? I've shot literally hundreds of thousands of rounds, and witnessed literally millions more.Seen exactly one non-life threatening injury."
Inyo-Mono: "No kidding! In all the hundreds of thousands of rounds that I have fired over the last 40 years, I had one injury; pinched the skin between my thumb and finger with the hammer while cocking one of my wheelguns."
I didn't count little things like getting hit by a piece of bullet jacket, which I've seen twice by people shooting pistols at cratered metal plates.

Ouch!!! I don't count powder burns either.
You’re getting quite a reputation.
I hold a Small Arms Marksmanship Ribbon from the USAF, I grew up with firearms, I got my first firearm at age 9. I have never neglected the BASIC rules of firearm handling. Why do you think that might be?
Would you care to test me?
“I hold a Small Arms Marksmanship Ribbon from the USAF”
It seems to me that you have gotten a lot of professional training on how to use firearms.
Most everyone else here says that such training is unnecessary and shouldn’t be required.
I, on the other hand, do believe that people should be trained properly. You have proved my point.
