Leave it to the left wing to turn a tragedy into a commercial to advance their political agenda. SICKENING

[SJackson]

System would fail (ballistic fingerprinting)

[Tony in Hawaii]

Me too. Should I sue for libel?

when he's apprehended.

Hopefully he/she won't be able to talk because of the cavern on his/her skull and/or chest put there by 25 different Police issue Glocks going off at nearly the same time...

I live too close to this crap. Walking distence from most of the shootings...

What evidence do they have that the sniper's gun isn't registered, and hasn't been ballistically fingerprinted?

They don't even know the make or model, let alone the serial number!! For all they know, it could be a registered and fingerprinted gun being used by a licensed shooter (these things being necessary in Maryland). The Xerox shooting in Hawaii and the Luby's cafeteria shooter in Killeen, Texas both used registered guns. (And the registration process stopped these shootings how?)

Ahh, there's the rub! These anti-self protection pimples are not rational and you are assuming some rational mindset for them.

I think if Maryland had a concealed carry law that this sniper would be in serious danger. Everyone would be out looking for him.

You stated......"Christian missionaries and their plane were shot down by a Peruvian air force pilot who mistakenly thought their plane was involved in drug smuggling. "

What is really sick is this. You apparently think that the mistake justified shooting them down, and strafing them afterward.

Meanwhile they were not mistaken, they acted on a tip from the CIA.(Protecting their turf?)

Cheers.

Yikes!!

I assumed conceal-carry is not the law of the land there. Stay safe.
