But did a civilian actually shoot the murderer? I'm not near a TV and can't seem to pull myself away from ARFCOM to look anywhere else. View Quote dropped his rifle and ran to his vehicle, an SUV. The armed citizen attempted to end the shooting spree and engaged the gunman in his vehicle, with one shot blowing out the rear window. The gunman fled in his vehicle. The armed citizen then flagged down a motorist, explained the situation and entered the vehicle. The driver called the police and pursued the gunman, reaching speeds of 95 mph and passing cars. The gunman's vehicle, with the armed citizen's pick-up on a few feet behind it, slowed and then went off the road. The driver of the pick-up told police the location of the gunman while the armed citizen covered the gunman's vehicle with his rifle. The gunman never moved, did not respond to verbal commands and fired no shots for the next 5 to 7 minutes until police arrived on scene. Evidence seems to indicate he was hit by the armed citizen's first shot and bled out while trying to escape. He died in his vehicle. MSM is not reporting he was killed by an local citizen armed with an AR-15 rifle who heard the gunfire and responded courageously risking death to try and save others. He is a hero. Two eye-witnesses collaborate everything written above in interviews. |

I am not here to endear myself to anyone. I'm here to learn and to challenge what I believe to be wrong. If some people decide they hate my guts because I have more liberal viewpoints on certain issues, then those people were not worth talking to in the first place. There are liberals, moderates, and libertarians in this forum, and they're not all "trolls," as you now know. I'd like to be your friend in person, but we probably will never be close on politics. Maybe we should just ignore one another's posts when they are political. Or, maybe a friendship with a "liberal" is not something you want. View Quote Today's liberals want to take my money, my rights, and if they could get away with it would imprison or kill me. |

Just ran across this:
Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt Jr. said Sunday night that the shooter fired several shots outside before entering the Sutherland Springs church and walking toward the front of the congregation. Tackitt says the gunman then turned around and opened fire on his way back out the front door. “I don’t think they could have escaped. You’ve got your pews on either side,” Tackitt said.The shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas left 26 people -- ranging in age from 5 to 72 years old -- dead and 20 wounded, authorities said. Link Damn....sounds like he looked at everybody as he shot them. I don't guess looking at little children while murdering them mattered to him...as long as they were stupid Christian children. |

Nothing else? Because that just isn't going to be enough to keep the Second Amendment as we know it today.

View Quote Probably a safe bet that you like and trust CNN which recently quoted your leader: "Some of the politics we see now, we thought we had put that to bed," Obama said. "That's folks looking 50 years back. It's the 21st Century, not the 19th Century." In a second campaign stop in Virginia, Obama took aim at the methods Trump used to win the election. "We've got folks who are deliberately trying to make folks angry -- to demonize people who have different ideas; to get the base all riled up because it provides a short-term tactical advantage," Obama said, again without specifically naming the President. |

First of all, thank you, for not dismissing me out of hand. I agree: stuff like "fast and furious," definitely, we need to look out for that. We need to defend our rights. However, I think we also can at least try to come up with some solutions. I mean, even little things might help. Example: What if a state government that has sales taxes excludes taxes for gun safes and lock boxes? It's a tiny step, but maybe a few more people would buy gun safes and lock up their guns, not just in case they have a mentally ill person in the house, but also to make it harder for criminals to steal guns when the owners aren't home. If the parent of the insane guy in Newtown would have kept the rifle locked away from him, dozens of kids would be alive today. It's just one thing to prevent some shootings, and it doesn't infringe on the Second Amendment. |
