The very same morning here in Indy, a guy stabbed his wife, got in his car, drove downtown, and ran over 5 or 6 people in 5 different places.
Perhaps we should have a dialog on knives and driving vehicles.
Sandy Hook: guns banned by law. Charleston: concealed carry permit does NOT allow carry into churches. Aurora: the only theater in the vicinity which had a stated no-firearms policy. What these places had in common is that an ordinary citizen who was carrying a gun under the law would not be allowed in those three places. If you want to change something, start with that.
I have attempted to determine the gun policies at the Bridgewater Plaza, without success. If anyone can point me to whether guns were allowed or prohibited there, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you.
His fifteen minutes are over.
He could have killed them with a knife, rock or pointy stick. I’m sorry for your loss. Dialog over.
“Could have been just as easy to kill both people with a large knife.”
There’s your dialogue, Chris.
See, when I hear crap like this coming out of victims family members mouths I lose all respect for them. Im sorry for his loss I really am, this reporter she seemed like a really nice woman, I checked out her twitter feed, a nice young woman, had her whole life ahead of her, but don’t use her death to take away MY right to protect myself. The same liberals who have a beef about labeling ALL Muslims terrorists and labeling ALL blacks thugs have no problem labeling all gun owners evil when a nut does something terrible
Fine. You can’t have my guns, you cannot restrict my rights. Dialog over.
After we’ve killed 55 million kids in this country, and enshrined it as a “constitutional right” that is more fundamental than the rights actually named in the constitution ... he thinks guns are the reason life is cheapened?
Perhaps a little more interest in relative’s mental health might help. In just about all these cases the family had inklings that something was off with their kin.
If one of my kids or a family member or even a person I regularly come in contact with espoused the kinds of things that would lead me to believe he or she could become violent or do something like that I would certainly do what I could to prevent that. Whether that means I contact the police or mental health folks or what I can’t say, but I would for sure make sure their access to weapons be restricted.
But in these cases to date it appears the family has washed their hands of the person. The result is a mass shooting, or some other violent act.
No additional laws will get those in regular contact to do the right thing.
“We need to have a substantive conversation...”
I know someone who lost a loved one by the violent act of a disturbed individual. She was deluged with invitations from the media, including personal messages from celebrity tv hosts, even a movie offer. Over twenty years have passed and she still hasn’t hit the airwaves to say anything at all, never mind “We need to have a substantive conversation...”
Going into seclusion and experiencing shock and grief in private, is that now an antiquated practice? How does anyone say that less than 24hrs after a fiancee is murdered?
No. Sorry your girlfriend got shot...I truly am, but gun laws aren’t the problem. Maybe we should look into the issue of crazy black fags getting to walk around with the rest of as if they were normal.
Once people start looking to take my rights away, they lose any and all sympathy from me. In fact, they become my enemy.
I am sorry for their loss. She seems like a very nice person. But within hours, both the boyfriend and father have made this into a gun control issue. They go from one television interview to the next. The father rattled off the ones he’s doing tomorrow.
We haven’t seen the cameraman’s family or his fiancé. I imagine they are too broken up to run to the cameras.
It was just “workplace violence”, right Barry? Barry?
Or was it the guy making the video? Hillary? Comment?
maybe he should dialogue about racism after all the reporter was accused of racism and we know that no one would cry racism if it wasn’t true. /S
How about ask why current laws aren’t enforced? And why the TV station did not get a protective order issued against this guy? They did require him to seek mental health counseling or face termination.
“Vice-President Biden said, “And to your point, Mr. Baker, regarding the lack of prosecutions on lying on Form 4473s, we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form, that checks a wrong box, that answers a question inaccurately.” That’s right: Biden said the administration just doesn’t have time to prosecute crimes (felonies punishable by up to a 10-year prison sentence) under existing laws, but is proposing a host of sweeping new laws.”
Nothing has changed in enforcement since this thread:

How about a dialog on racism instead, he wanted to start a race war...and he used a gun.
