Quoted: So weird that this mass shooting happened just as Judge Benitez’s California assault weapons ban ruling is about to go to the Supreme Court, possibly setting the precedent that all of those bans are illegal. Very weird indeed. View Quote So who do you imagine is behind this conspiracy? Did they MK Ultra him, or was it lizard people brain control? Fucking conspiracy bullshit. |

Press conference just ended. Lots of jibber jabber about talking to President Biden, weapon/mag bans, 80 FBI agents working on the case...
No details about the search. |

Quoted: The lady with the head shakes in the news conference is speaking of nothing but how important she is by receiving phone calls from other politicians and campaigning for gun control. Get her off the podium and let someone give condolences to the families as well as an update on the investigation and possible wherabouts of the suspect. View Quote Hated that bitch for decades. |

Yeesh.
Susan Collins - Supports Hi cap mag ban, historically supported AWB but was sabotaged by Feinstein trying expand the ban. Supports raising rifle age to 21, supports legislatively banning bumpstocks. The senate is looking rough, I hope the new Speaker of the House has balls of steel. |

Quoted: Wasn’t there a restaurant in tx that was shot up 20-30yrs ago? One of the patrons that was killed left his CCW in the vehicle as the restaurant was posted. IIRC his family sued the restaurant and won. View Quote Not exactly. Lubys Cafeteria 30 years ago. The patron, a female medical doctor was eating there with her parents when the shooter crashed a pick up truck into the building and began shooting. Her parents were killed. There was no “posted” or CCW in Texas at the time. She testified in hearings before the state legislature about leaving her handgun in her car because at the time there was no CCW in Texas, there was only a loophole that let people legally carry a gun in their car. Her testimony regarding that experience was critical to Texas, finally passing CCW licensing legislation. |

Quoted: I had taken fluoxetine a couple years back and I can tell you the gap between the thought of doing something dangerous and actually doing is greatly reduced. A crack head walks in front of you car and you don’t slow down because you’re perfectly fine with what ever happens. You drive over an overpass or pass impact absorbing rails and wonder what it would be like to run right into it. It got scary as hell and I went off cold turkey against my doctors recommendation. What’s worse, brain zaps or getting fucked in prison for running people over. View Quote This is still more wishful thinking to lay the blame anywhere else. The sheer number of people on SSRIs and guns, and cars, and matches and gasoline cans, we’d see this bore out in the numbers pretty quickly. I haven’t seen any studies that suggest they cause some sort of inhibition of general violent criminality. It’s just a fuzzy logic connection the gun community hopes can explain away, and draw attention away from, schizophrenics being able to get their hands on guns, without any real data(again that I’ve seen) to suggest it’s a direct cause of these events. Maybe lunatics shouldn’t be out on the streets? |

Quoted: First question from the media is to Collins about her support for an AWB. Second question is about an AWB. Nothing about the progress of the investigation, no new info on the shooters location, or updated status of victims. This press conference is fucking bullshit. View Quote All that matters to them, the commie damncrats and rino traitors is advancement of the agenda, disarm good Americans and make them vulnerable to criminals. They live to hear Americans plead for government to save us. |

Quoted: I can’t keep up with the thread, but have we talked about the second shooter? Witness video from the scene clearly shows 2 people with guns running from the scene. Pics taken from Fox News video this am. The one in all black had the weapon light on while running. Appeared to be a rifle. AR style? https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/128278/IMG_9682_jpeg-3005206.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/128278/IMG_9679_jpeg-3005207.JPG View Quote Not sure, but I thought that was one of the responding LEOs. News interview of the person who recorded the video had some mention of LEO patting down patrons as they exited and were escorted out of the establishment (to ensure they didn't miss the armed shooter mingling with the others, or something). The video CLEARLY shows LE on-site already. |

Quoted: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luby's_shooting She was the CCW holder. She left her gun in the car due to the “no guns allowed” signage. Some asshole drove his truck into the restaurant, got out and opened fire. Her parents were killed in the massacre. She left her pistol in the car for fear should lose her chiropractor’s license if she was caught with it. View Quote Incorrect. She was not a CCW holder. At that time there was no CCW (and thus no posted locations) in TX. At that time, the only legal option to carry a gun in Texas was a Loop hole which allowed one to keep a loaded handgun in their car. Her fear of losing her medical license if she carried on her person was due to TX not having any legal mechanism to do so anywhere. There were no “no guns” signs involved. That incident, and her subsequent testimony and activism was what lead to Texas finally getting CCW a couple years later. |

Quoted: Do you believe that same prosecutor would not try to throw you under the bus for "shooting to wound"? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Yeah I would think under the right circumstances a DA would throw you under the bus for “shooting to kill.” I totally get the concept and agree a POS shooter should be killed, but Chauvin was taught the neck hold in LEO training and that didn’t stop the DA from saying his training killed Floyd. Do you believe that same prosecutor would not try to throw you under the bus for "shooting to wound"? That’s just it, it’s always been “shoot to stop the threat.” Policies stating Shooting to wound and shooting to kill I think would be easy targets for a DA. |

Be prepared for all manner of the most firearms ignorant people to opine on this event. While it’s unlikely to result in the repeal of the 2nd, it will cause lots of “debate” and legislative suggestions. Get ready to counter them. These are intellectually lazy people.

Quoted: For those thinking he used an issued army m4. I dont have some inside source so this is just my opinion. It's nearly impossible to get m4 out of the vault without being the supply nco. You would need to enter the locked armory (easy part if you drill there), get into the locked supply room, get into the locked vault, get into the locked m4 weapons rack, then exit the armory.. tough task. Steal a humvee? Easy assuming the batteries aren't dead. Steal an m4? I don't think so but idk View Quote I think the issue weapon theory is heavily dependent on the (apparently false) rumor that he was a "firearms instructor" and as such likely his unit's armorer (which would mean he could steal a weapon if he didn't care about ever returning it) |
