Why nothing on the fireman shooting in NY. All the usual suspects,MSNBC,CNN void of any or little coverage. Could it be because the shooter was a certified wack job and the system released him after slaying his G Mom with a hammer. Could it be all the weapons were possibly purchased legally and if so with his past history he never should have been allowed to be near a fire arm or a hammer. Any opins/
I heard all the weapons were stolen which is bad for gun-grabbers. If the guns were illegal, no law would have stopped his actions.
Doesn’t say HOW he got ahold of em....
If from another felon/ obtained illegally, then it shows that the gun grabbers arguments are INVALID..... criminals will always get weapons.
And why should law abiding people be punished for the actions of the criminals
“Is there information on why he was released from prison after murdering his grandmother with a hammer?”
My understanding is he plea-bargained down to a manslaughter charge.
No one ever talks about the crazy muslim Hasan at Fort Hood. That was all about PC and still is...And Obama has blood on his hands on that one.
The one in Ct is about Mental Illness. So is the theater shooting.
The one in Webster is about letting dangerous, sick criminals loose.
There was that sick bas**** in Rochester who was killing prostitutes (maybe 20 of them). He had killed TWO children elsewhere and was relocated to Rochester.
It's the system. It's sick and broken.
This is the DA’s Office saving money and the idiots on the parole board who said he was just so wonderful and should go back into society. Did he ever work?? Or were we supporting the SOB, too.
What got my attention was the distinction you made between a hunting rifle and ‘the type that would be covered by an assault weapons ban.’
Hunting rifles can be semi-auto, and accept a large magazine. I don’t think we are in a ‘bayonet mount’ fight this time. They are going to make an attempt on semi-auto weapons....after first assuring us that it won’t affect hunting rifles.
I would much rather define the terms based on capability, and not use. So, instead of talking about ‘hunting rifles’ and ‘assault weapons’, we should be discussing fully automatic assault rifles (already highly restricted, but I swear most people believe one was used in Newtown, due to deliberate confusion of terms), semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and manually reloaded weapons (bolt and lever action).
This way, the left can’t obscure their intent...while wildly shouting that they aren’t going to take hunting rifles. For example. if they say ‘we want to ban semi-automatic weapons’, hunters will know exactly what is at stake....as opposed to ‘we want to ban assault weapons but you can keep your hunting rifle’, which is a deliberate lie.
