Sniper Sighting Fails to Create a Clear Picture

All emphases mine.

As a proud gun owner (tough in NJ) I would hate to live next to some snoopy liberal do-gooder in Maryland right now.

Me thinks the clown would have been dead by now if this happened in Texas.

[Callahan]

This punk "sniper" has been quiet for the last couple days. I was almost expecting to see a new shooting when I turned on the TV this morning. Think the witnesses of the last hit have scared him into taking a break?

[Redbob]

Methinks we never would have elected an *sshole like "Paris" Glendenning to govern the great State of Texas!

[OldFriend]

I have long been concerned about freepers proudly discussing the types of guns they own.

A newbie pops on the board and wants to know what kind of guns we think he should buy......then freepers being the helpful sort go on to discuss the types of guns they own...........

In my humble opinion, this is folly!

I don't know about that. After all, we elected Ann Wrinkles. Of course, she only won because Clayton Williams ran the last two months of his campaign with a severe cranio-rectal inversion.

[M. T. Cicero II]

Why?

[4Freedom]

Yeah, the snoopy, liberal neighbors will be complaining right up to the point where the gun owner saves their bacon with a timely shot.

Imagine what will happen the day these terrorists learn that everyone in America, EXCEPT THEM, has been disarmed.

IT'S 19 DAYS 'TIL THE ELECTION

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY TO HELP TAKE BACK THE SENATE?

YOU CAN HELP, TODAY. GO TO:

TakeBackCongress.org

A resource for conservatives who want a Republican majority in the Senate

[spectre]

If the shooter is smart, he will take a break, forever.

Do we want him to kill again, so we can nail him? Or do we want him to stop and get away?

He could just disappear and never be caught. It's macabre the way the press is camping out waiting for the "next kill"..

Why do you think it's folly?

IMO, I'm sure if some guy in NV has an illegally converted AR or something he wouldn't just blab it. (And if he does it's his own stupid fault). All of my guns are legally purchased, registered, safely stored, trigger-locked, etc.

The government already knows what kind of guns I own. The only persons who would have malicious intent, other than the gov't, would be crooks. They'd have a lot harder time finding out who I am, where I live, etc.

[jjm2111]

Hopefully, that day will never come.

[OldFriend]

An NRA decal on my front door is all anyone needs to know......let them guess the rest!

[Deguello]

Over the years I have come across various Vietman Vets that want to show me their M-16 that they brought back to the world with them. I have to explain to them to keep it to themselves or someone they shouldn't have told will turn them in. I also let them know that I am glad that they have their weapon.

[Dallas]

One things for damn certain.....if Texans, saw a sniper leaving the scene of a shooting......there would be a caravan (on cell phones calling 911) in hot pursuit as he drove away.

[jjm2111]

Roger that.

[jjm2111]

Bang.

[Redbob]

Well, there you go!

And BTW, Paris Glendenning (would that be "Gay Paree?") makes Ann Richards look like Rush Limbaugh!

Think the witnesses of the last hit have scared him into taking a break?

It's possible that LEO knows who the perps are and are building a case. There's a huge difference between knowing and proving, especially if you don't know exactly where the weapon is. There's also the possibility of a short list, but not enough evidence to break doors.

Then there's the possibility that they don't have a clue.

[Redbob]

As for me, I don't actually own any firearms anymore - I turned them all in at the last "disarm yourself" rally.

[Redbob]

"Then there's the possibility that they don't have a clue."

A possibility that always must be considered when dealing with local "law enforcement" ossifers.
