> That said, be very wise and make sure you realize the extent of what is happening before you so that you make no mistake and end up dead or in prison. <

To which I’d add: Make sure that when the cops show up, they don’t mistake you for the bad guy. There was an incident awhile back where a good guy with a gun stopped a criminal. Then the cops showed up and promptly shot and killed the good guy.

I think that more than 20 % of rifle purchases are AR platforms, so there’s that.

Butler had an extensive criminal history & yet he’s out there running loose??? What’s up with law enforcement there? Were they waiting for a real tragedy before locking him up? Seems to me that every time there is a criminal like this there are more in law enforcement that need to go to jail with him unless they do their job. I know it would fill the jails a lot faster, but there has to be justice done somehow.

Well, some people are constantly looking for the opportunity to be offended.

Or, as we used to say, they have a chip on their shoulder and are daring someone else to knock it off.

It’s just way, way more common than it used to be. Besides, we’re being taught that they have a perfect right to carry around that huge chip, and we’re at fault if we even accidentally bump it.

I did hear this guy told the cops immediately. The bad guy was already dead when cops got there, But if the exchange was still going on between good guy and bad guy when the cops arrive, it could be bad for the good guy like you were saying.

Perhaps this should be a rule of thumb for the good guys:
Don’t be holding a gun in your hand when the cops arrive.

No, you’re probably not paranoid.

The Belligerent Generation was never disciplined, so we’ll just have to kill them as they get out of control.

Thanks to this heroine, the Butler DIDN’T do it.

Red Flag laws are for singling out and unjustly emasculating law abiding statistically likely Trump voters.

It seems as if it suits the purposes of the powers-that-be to see to it that the all of the members of every OTHER class of person/citizen not already convicted of a felony violation are allowed and encouraged to run free and to engage with aolomb in whatever antisocial or psychotic mayhem suits their respective fancies.

Police said Butler has an extensive criminal history.

Of course he did.

She’s just doing the work the justice system won’t do.

But maybe I’m paranoid, too.

Even paranoids can have real enemies.

Social contagion is how these mass casualty shootings are organized and instigated. No direct contact with the shooter is required.

Till the fields, sow the seeds, wait for seasonal rains, and watch the crop come in. The individual stalks do not matter very much and are not predictable. But at the end of the summer, there is a harvest available.
