2 couples argue then the gun shot ends the argument..For texting his 13 year old daughter.. Lone Survivor.... how poetic and a good advert for taking guns away from civilians.... The accused a retired officer??

Kids around aswell

It baffles me why a rational person needs to carry a gun to go to a picture show..... Time to lock them guns away


I understand your concern, however in the case you refer to ... the person shot and killed was carrying a deadly iPhone .... now ... it is my understanding, since I do not have a smartphone, that with the correct app ... the iPhone can be transformed into a deadly weapon capable of killing a 71 year old former police officer ... have I missed something ....

Anyone who loves Siamese cats and guns can't be all bad.
Save your breath when talking about firearms with anti gun folks.
The arguments won't change the minds of those folks.

Arguing with an anti-gun person is like wrestling in the mud with a pig. After an hour you realize that the pig likes it.

I'm a Snowshoe cat and my houseboy is also a servant to a girl and boy Siamese. All of us have been snatched from death by our gun-toting daddy.

Hello Jobox, I agree with Doddy, don't get involved with the gun subject, just let them continue to shoot each other and murder lots of school children.
Cheers,
John.


Wow that 5th grade education has done you well.
Insightful input on your part. :thumbdown:

How did you know how far I went in my quest for knowledge ?

Did you mean fifth grade or fifth rate ?

I am an engineering grad from a land-Grant moo U.

Give 'em all muskets, as the Constitution meant.

I was talking to Ben Franklin and he said that you were not correct about the muskets.

Folks like you are proof of what George III said. "Al", said the King as he put his arm around my shoulder,"the colonies are not ready for self-governance"

Pilgrim, dry your tears, guns are here to stay. Sadly we can't keep them from crazies nor from criminals..with an infinite number of new laws.

actually, I don't take any meds ... but from your photo I can assume you drink and are proud of it and you probably drink quite a lot .... that would explain your childish response .... try to expand on your statement .... did I miss something in my description of the incident ..... I assume you do read newspapers ...... I have to admit ... I do not know how Fox news carried the story ...

"Stupid is as stupid does". The shooter was obviously following Forest Gump's observation. This has nothing to do with gun ownership and everything to do with "stupid".

I'll clarify my position

I am not anti gun in controlled circumstances..

Target shooting
Hunting
Pest control

You guys could possibly give more examples as it is not part of our culture over here... ( not meant to be taken in a holier than thou attitude)
I have a hobby shooting a camera some people shoot with guns... not a problem when its controlled.

I am anti gun when it comes to civilians in daily life carrying deadly weapons like what happened in Tampa. He seen the red mist and has now ruined the victims life his life and more importantly all the family around them.. they will be victims of not war but a momentary lapse in self-control.
I'll clarify my position br br I am not anti gun ... (show quote)

Would you consider a testosterone poisoned macho man loudly texting? to his 22 month old daughter, talking to his wife, shining the light from his smart phone and refusing to abate his obnoxious conduct and then throwing his popcorn into the face of the person asking him to desist a candidate for "pest control"?

Ahhh... you British angels. You will never stop kicking yourselves for foolishly trying to dominate this beautiful country and all you have left is criticizing what you blew away and it will never come back. You are now where you belong, with a lot of crime you can't cover and an 8+ percent of Muslims due to your predecessors ambition of conquering others. Now you have to pay for it dearly. You can now continue to kill yourselves with bats, knifes and from guns used by criminals. Yes, guns used by criminals in the UK against decent citizens like you.

If you read my post you will know that I agree we should not criticise your gun laws but, that nonsense about being kicked out of America. What you guys don't seem to remember that most of the people doing the kicking out were Brits who had colonised in the first place. ( Criticise spelt correctly) LOL

De gustibus, non disputandum est.

I am high on life and the inhalation of combustion products of nitrocellulose.

If you are seeking logic or politeness in this thread, I would suggest that you ask your health-care provider about an Rx to take the edge off.

most of those on this site have limited knowledge of American history especially the colonial period for example ..... less than 1/3 of the population supported revolution ... it was a minority driven revolution supported by the merchant class ....
