I am going to say that Columbia blacks tend to be like normal people. They have manners, have jobs, say thank you, are decent drivers, etc. This is very unlike the Baltimore inner city blacks and the Washington DC inner city ghetto blacks.

Your friend is an idiot. I don’t recall the second amendment entitling you to shot innocent people. In fact, if somebody at the mall was actually allowed to take advantage of their second amendment rights maybe less people would be killed in malls.

“More Americans need to train with a firearm of their choice daily”

I find that a pistol with an integrated laser greatly reduces the need for practice. You can add an aftermarket laser but that introduces a small error due to parallax.

Your “friend” is a good demonstration of why substantive discussion with liberals is pointless. Their lack of intelligence and inner malevolence makes it impossible.

In a sense, this person was gloating over a mass murder that occurred moments ago. Gross.

My friend is a college buddy who went over to the dark side.

You have to admitt, it is a funny joke to another liberal and mildly amusing to a conservative.

It is not Baltimore — it is an upscale suburban county, though Columbia itself is ‘integrated’.

It is a joke, just like the one that got Washington DC shock jock “the Greaseman” fired.

His comment was that NASA means “need another seven astronauts” which was made after Challenger blew up after launch.

“I find that a pistol with an integrated laser greatly reduces the need for practice. You can add an aftermarket laser but that introduces a small error due to parallax.”

True! Training can never be replaced by better sights if the shooter cannot control his or her emotions and nerves under pressure. Combat shoot training is important because it will put the individual in a similar situation anyone may find themselves in with an active shooter killing Americans!

A laser will put the round on target, but, with good combat training, an American can stand and shoot with confidence he or she will put down any murdering shooter with the first round and not fear confronting such a shooter.

Stay safe my fellow American!

Any guesses as to which liberal socialist will call for gun control first? Please list by first and last name of the liberal socialist and his or her position in the government or old propaganda media!

Andrew Cuomo will race through the SUPERSAFE Act which limits all magazines to one round.

You should cut all ties with the Enemy.

That means your so-called 'friend'.

If a 'friend' calls me with that kind of ignorant bullshit, he gets deleted from my phone directory and blocked -- not unfriended, blocked -- on Facebook.

I lived in Columbia for 12 years, before retiring and escaping from Maryland. I agree with everything you said, except for the speeders being ticketed part.

Columbia traffic generally moves at least 10 MPH over the speed limit, whenever possible, and woe betide anyone driving slower. The county and state police manning the radar don’t even look twice at a car going less that 10 MPH over the limit.

There are also areas within even peaceful villages that can get “interesting”. The wooded parks around where I lived would sometimes echo with gunfire on warm nights. That happened so much that the police only asked if anyone was shot, or anything was hit by bullets. The glass in the entrance to my apt building was hit by a bullet once, and even management didn’t seem much interested.

I asked an officer once about all the nighttime gunfire, and he said that there were young people around who liked to play at being gangsters, and as long as all they did was fire their weapons at nothing in particular, they were let alone. He went on to say that for the most part, the actual bad guys, as well as the pretenders were known to law enforcement.

One thing that always bugged me. Most of the community police carried bicycles on they’re cars, but in all my years logging miles on the bike trails, I never once saw a LEO on a bike.

Including one (1) round for NY police Officers like the last screwed up gun control legislation Cuomo and his cronies passed after Obummer demanded NY act!

That was too funny when the Police began crying like babies when they found out the law actually prevented them from carrying mags with more than 7 rounds! It's okay to prevent American citizens from possessing large capacity mags, but, by God not the NAZI police force!

Weird, from my outspoken advocacy on topics like RKBA... most of my “liberal” friends have either converted or left on their own accord...

- Just after smirking (D-NY) US Senator Chuckie “357” Schumer filmed a video saying the IRS must go harder after the TEA Party Conservatives -

- coincidence?

In Northern Michigan, the Michigan State Police carry their civilian clothes in the trunk of their patrol cars as SOP.

They know that all hell can and will break out if this government continues to stand on the necks of Americans who simply just want to be left alone on their private land to live their lives with their families without having government deciding what an American may or may not do at any given time depending upon which Politician was being reelected to office!

Please, if you talk to any of those libs, mention to them that Texas is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, filled with poisonous bugs and animals, populated by racist rednecks, has mandatory church attendance 7 days a week, and is generally a horrible place. Thanks!

LOL! Sounds just like my favorite town at the seashore, where the water is too cold, the rental houses all smell like mold, and the restaurants are terrible!
