Not going to disagree with you there. I'm all about putting pressure on people to exercise proper firearm safety. I don't understand why (unless only to push a separate agenda) they kept pointing out the "semi-automatic" rifle point unless multiple rounds were fired. When they say "accident", I'm inclined to believe it was only one bullet and would have happened regardless of what rifle was involved.mickeyrat said:

I would assume the article would have mentioned bolt action if that were in fact the case.PJPOWER said:

Edit to add, having now read the article the only reference the weapon three times once in the headline a general generic description in the opening paragraph or two and then the specific make model and manufacturer in a subsequent paragraph. Maybe it's my stance on the issue which is I made point out not against the 2nd amendment in total, but rather better regulatory powers across the board to prevent such crime as this one. In my opinion a good prosecutor could and should argue drug charges against the mom.Post edited by mickeyrat on_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

Not sure I understand what you mean... You do know that both semi-auto and bolt action rifles only fire one round per trigger pull, right?mickeyrat said:

Yes. This particular article does not say one way or the other. If one or more shots were fired. I think what I found most disturbing about the article aside from the semi-automatic in the hands of a 17 year old drug dealer, was the fact it took them a fucking year to charge these kids and the momPJPOWER said:

That is interesting, although I can see there being a lot of investigation and paperwork from a lot of places (Children Protective Services) that would go into a situation like this. Who knows...mickeyrat said:

agreed ! I haven't read past your post but I think it was just a scare article meant to keep the Obama bashing alive and well, I'd like to think even Obama isn't that stupid....well maybe he is, I don't know.PJPOWER said:
Lol, if that's true. That would be when he found out how little authority he actually has. Shame on anyone that would actually follow an order like that. Good luck getting local Sherrifs and city leaders to. Laughable.Godfather. said:

last year Florida issued over 2 million permits and when Obama was on T.V talking about his latest exertive action concerning guns and gun shows over 11 million guns were sold, every time he opens his mouth about gun control more guns are sold.dudeman said:

Sad but true. You would think he would re think what he says and how he says it. Like you said every time he says something concerning guns or legislation, gun sales go upGodfather. said:

you guy's ? but I believe every time there is a massacre gun rights are attacked and people go buy a gun just in case there is a block of some sort, the same politicians apposed to gun ownership create a spike in sales every time (thank you media) they open their mouths.mickeyrat said:

6 killed and almost no coverage.. if the killer was Muslim I bet the coverage would be ramped up.
6 - Half of the number killed at Columbine.

The guy looks like a f**king goofball. Likely years of walking around looking like a f**king goofball drove him to randomly shoot people he never even knew (from the sounds of it).
Has some sick guns though! A chickenshit. He was apprehended without incident- only tuff enough to shoot unsuspecting women. As soon as the hint of a conflict developed for him... he shit his pants and succumbed to authority. Now we can make him lunch, wipe his ass, and show him love.
I'm amping up my stance on the DP for goofballs like this. Feed him to the rats. Seriously. F**king idiot."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
Guy in Michigan should have been shot and killed by police. Stop shooting innocent unarmed people and take out these fuckers that go on killing sprees.2006 Clev,Pitt; 2008 NY MSGx2; 2010 Columbus; 2012 Missoula; 2013 Phoenix,Vancouver,Seattle; 2014 Cincy; 2016 Lex, Wrigley 1&2; 2018 Wrigley 1&2; 2022 Louisville0
