“Travis Bridger Soderberg, 38, has been charged with felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal mischief. He is expected to be arraigned on the charges in District Court next week.” He’s not charged with assault, battery, rape or murder because the woman whose home he invaded — his ex who was issued an order of protection against him in December — was armed. From missouilian.com: “The woman said Soderberg had been violent toward her in the past. Soderberg came to her front door, the woman said, then went to her back door, kicked it open and came toward her. She pointed a gun at him and told him to leave.” Not fancying an unobstructed view of some of his own vital organs, Soderberg exited the un-named woman’s home and was arrested later. Of course, this likely won’t turn up on anyone’s list of defensive gun uses since she (happily) didn’t have to pull the trigger. Still, a satisfactory ending was enjoyed by all concerned.
So what was the motivation, or does the media not care about the motivation and they’d rather just use this as a front to fuel gun control? For an engineer you’d think he could pull off a more impressive feat like taking down a building, don’t get me wrong, this is a tragedy.
I think we all know the solution here. Ban engineering.
First guy got killed. If this guy dies, it would be the worst thing that could happen-hear me out. If this person is taken in alive, his motivation, as well as connections of any type can be discovered and dealt with accordingly. If he is killed or does himself in-his motivation will not be known, leaving the media free to whip up all sorts of stories based on innuendo, but no FACTS. Furthermore, if there are any connections to be made to other potential rogues who may become an issue in the future, his death would make it difficult to connect the dots. I personally would prefer facts-ergo he must be brought in alive. After that Federal trial and execution.
“…the civilian disarmament industry may have sealed their fate with the push for federal gun control.”
Hah, don’t bet on it.
They’ll keep chipping away wherever they can just as they have been doing in CA for years. It is becoming even more draconian here with the proposed restrictions which are looming in the currently super majority Democratic state legislature. You can expect that as time passes, similar assaults on 2A protections will be coming to a city / state near you as the gun grabbers keep up the rhetoric which is then parroted by the MSM. And every sociopathic tragedy will provide the grabbers another opportunity to waive the bloody shirt and dance in the victims’ blood for good measure.
The grabbers may even have the good fortune to stumble into more victims who are already anti gun just as happened with Sandy Hook. That’s a difficult kind of spokesperson to impeach especially with the MSM press falling all of over themselves with sympathy.
Not one step back!
Trying to sound clever, but coming out stupid.
Anyone who was paying attention to where he came from and what little we knew of his background in 2008 should have seen this coming. It was very clear to me that he was biding his time until his second term. I think he acted more hastily than he planned due to Newtown being a great opportunity for him, but I think this push was inevitable.
Now that he has been soundly defeated, I’m not sure what more he can do, but I expect him to keep pushing for SOMETHING ANYTHING that he can pass so he can claim “victory”. Such is his way.
However, make no mistake. If another opportunity arises, and Obama has the Devil’s luck, he will renew this fight and take any opportunity he can to go for your guns.
Before anyone mentions Romney, I still have to point out that I just don’t see Romney having the same zeal and vigor if it was something that applied to all Americans. While Romney is no friend to the 2A, grabbing guns was not his personal crusade. I think there is a world of difference between what Obama wants and what Romney wants. Gun rights advocates did themselves no favor that sat home on election day.
“Go ahead, make my day”!!
These guys were let in during Bush’s term. Get facts straight. You people make true conservatives look stupid.
Yep. I was wrong about Obama and regret my vote. I’ve been a registered Dem for nearly 20 years now. I’m filling out the voter registration, going unaffiliated, and voting third party as long as the Dems and Republicans stay in their current state. I’m a proud citizen, and will still vote, but won’t be a part of their shenanigans, I don’t care how many votes I “waste”.
It is the belt. I would not be caught dead wearing that color belt.
I hope hes kidding, that would be like scuba diving then having to kill Nessy as it tries to eat you.
Works great with sweatpants!
If Obama had a Neanderthal son….
I don’t think we know yet whether or not they had outside assistance. It appears that bomber #1 at least had training in either Chechnya or in one of the Stan’s of Russia. At least that is what the news would seem to indicate.
My Crossbreed Super Tuck also allows me to tuck my shirt in, not to mention it covers the trigger and I can reholster. I wouldn’t use anything that doesn’t cover the trigger, especially on my G30.
