Also, Iris sounds like a female name. Although these days who knows, you can marry a kumquat or a piece of knotty pine if you want.

Our ND hired and fired suspected shooter @Bryce_williams7 in 2000 in Tenn. Fired for bizarre behavior and threatening employees

Well, I guess the threats were serious.

I do believe that if you actually threaten employees, we might could have a firearms-cooling-off period. You make threats, prosecuted threats, and we could take your guns for a minute.

You are correct. That black fellow looks normal. This one had a rage-look, and his face was covered in freckles.

Very loud and quite a bit of recoil. .45 maybe? Just terrifying to watch.

The problem with that is who reports the threats. It would become a he-said-she-said situation, and if they side with the accused, and the accused decides to go postal, they could be sued for inaction against a threat.

That’s the very definition of slippery slope.

His father is in the Humboldt State Athletics Hall of Fame and was on the roster of the Green Bay Packers for one season.

Most firearms are loud in close quarters. My guess is 9MM due to the number of shots fired.
