It would have been better if he had bought one off a gangster or drug dealer.

Too bad for Michael W. Mitchell, but society will have its Aztec sacrifice in spite of his efforts.

Isn't this the subject of a Samuel L. Jackson movie?

Me Neither. But this doesn't help Terri it only makes us who want her to live look like nuts!

No, it doesn't.

Maybe he is a nut. Maybe he is just frustrated like the rest of us. If he is the only one of the hundreds or thousands who show their support, then it shows that he doesn't handle frustration very well. That's all. Don't read more into it than that.

Floridians own at least ONE gun. Floridia is full of displaced NorthEasterners and Seniors who don't own guns. Maybe on the NorthWest Coast they tend to own more guns.
