Well, of course.
Surely no student would ever do anything except what a respected authority figure told him to do.
Legislators also encouraged his drug dealing too?
Didn’t he get the officer’s gun?
Latest I heard is the gun was stolen.
Typical leftist is all about the feels.
It’s true. See her latest published piece, an article titled “Practicing Peace on a Weaponized Campus” in the 2017 spring/summer newsletter of something called the Association of American Colleges amd Universities. In it, this Canadian, lesbian, professor reveals that she felt “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” the day that campus carry went into effect.
After raising the issue with that first class, three student walked out class, and the others sat in fear, shock, and horror. So now she starts every class with five minutes of meditation.
By my calculations, that’s more than 33 hours of class time across her whole teaching load this semester that she’ll waste on breathing exercises to “let ourselves get soft and vulnerable alongside each other.”
@Dave in Fairfax–
I remember getting the same line. We were also taught that no sentence should be longer than twenty-five words.
Besides stabbing REAL conservatives in the back, the gop is best at grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory by intentionally letting the traitors in the dnc do whatever they want without so much as even asking “Is this going to hurt?”
The gop establishment IS the swamp so it needs to go along with the dems with whom they spend their nights “spooning” in some sleazy hotel.
Talk about stupid & useless laws. NJ allows the purchase of bump stocks but it is a felony to attach it to the firearm. So, now they’ll ban them. More “feel good” legislation.
Ok. Let us pick this apart shall we?
1. He was underage. He couldn’t legally acquire a CHL in Texas.
2.He had to be 21 to buy a handgun from an FFL in Texas. (Think that’s federal and it doesn’t mention being gifted a handgun.)
3.He had said handgun on him in the police station. (Big No No).
4.He was a known drug dealer if other comments on this post are to be believed.
So he had already broken a few laws by the time the campus cops got him to the station and he broke a few more when he shot said campus cops in their own station house. Obviously one could deduce that laws did not prevent this crime nor do they prevent any other crime. Laws punish the perpetrators AFTER they are caught and AFTER they are convicted of crimes by a jury of their peers. I don’t know where this thought that laws prevent crime came from but it needs to go away as anyone with a modicum of common sense knows no law can prevent a crime it just codifies actions that are criminal and outlines punishment for said actions.
When they only poll Democrats you get a high percentage against anything gun related.
Me? I’ll just buy a REAL machine gun. I have the money.
Just haven’t wanted one before, now I do.
How do we contribute to Paul Nehlen’s primary race? Anyone would be better than Ryan.
McFly…..McFly! Guns on college campuses are not “encouraged” by the legislature. The legislature and the governor only created a law allowing for the lawful carry of firearms for self-defense purposes. That’s a more strict exercise of the use of firearms than that of the university’s own armed police force, which you apparently have no problem with.
How do you explain the killer’s acts of drug possession and criminal homicide when those are expressly prohibited by the legislature?
Quit trying to blame victims, exonerate criminals, and ridicule others whose only interest is peaceful coexistence backed by the capacity for self-defense.
FLAME DELETED
If words are indeed violence, and these Progressives are projecting, shouldn’t we jail them?
People are still missing the obvious: Gun control is not an enumerated power delegated to the federal government
Our federal Constitution doesn’t delegate to the federal government any power over the Country at Large to restrict our arms. Accordingly, all pretended federal laws, regulations, orders, opinions, or treaties which purport to do so are unconstitutional as outside the scope of powers delegated. They are also unconstitutional as in violation of the Second Amendment.
I can’t find Larue’s original comments anywhere. If it’s only on FB, then screw that. I’m not creating an account just to read that.
So I don’t have an opinion on this, since In can’t see what he actually wrote. It’s true, though, anyone can miscommunicate from time to time. It’s also true that people can misjudge the flak they’ll catch for their remarks, forcing them to backpedal later. So we’ll see how it plays out.
Polls are useless except to sheep who will do what they perceive others are doing.
“The recoil makes the pistols difficult to shoot accurately at self-defense speeds, even if you’ve mastered the art of the fast hammer cock. Shot double action, the wheelguns have limited utility past bad breath distances.”
Way to perpetuate the myth that a revolver can only be fired accurately in single-action. Sounds like someone needs more training. Once you master double-action revolver shooting I promise that you will never care if your revolver has single-action capability after that.
It takes virtually no practice to become proficient enough in DA for self def ense out to 10 or 15 yards, which covers 99% of defensive shootings. But if you need more accuracy it only takes a quarter second to pull back the hamm er.
You haven’t tested a 357 till you’ve burnt through a few boxes of 38. You haven’t felt pain till you’ve put half a case of 38 factory loads through an aluminum snub with exposed backstrap or hard rubber grip in just over an hour. Builds character, though.
“Ryan’s newfound support for the NRA’s solution — asking the ATF to reverse their previous, completely rational decision approving bump fire stocks — is only a less-bad option.”
Pretty much. This mass killing is a shit sandwich, and every day we have to take another bite.
So much fail here, but hey lets blame a piece of plastic.
All this ineptitude is precisely why citizens opt for carry and self reliance.
The Left has yet to convince anyone that leaving everything to the police is even a valid option. Society currently doesn’t have an efficient rapid response system in place for random and undocumented crazies.
So what, private security for everyone? No one could afford it (except all the politicians and celebrities calling for gun control).
Meanwhile, there will likely never be a rapid response system without willingly surrendering our privacy and agreeing to be more closely monitored.
What is left? Autonomy. The 2nd amendment, and all the gun owners that are first responders and have tens of thousands of successful DGUs every year.
If you gotta do something, whup out your knife and cut all of their tires. If they take offense, shoot them repeatedly.
I couldn’t imagine a Republican Speaker of the House more sleazy than John Boehner. And then Paul Ryan came along and suddenly Boehner looks good.
The Las Vegas nutball shooter could have killed more people with an ordinary truck or bus that day.. banning this or that ‘evil thing’ isn’t going to stop a madman. We’d have to ban large vehicles, gasoline, fertilizer (ammonium nitrate), fuel oil, bleach, lye, drain cleaner… all those things could be used to kill people in mass quantities.
The harsh reality of life is sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Preparation is always good, but recognize that even that is often not enough. If you ban bump-fire stocks, the next madman can simply make a homemade flamethrower or a working machine gun in his basement. He may even do a Tim McVeigh. Without putting every American under constant 24/7 surveillance, the madman will tend to win.
Good news: Ryan backs off of anti firearms bill
Bad news: Ryan backs off pretty much every bill anyway.
You keep assuming Paddock was the shooter.
I don’t.
“The alleged shooter, then, would have likely been too young to legally carry a concealed handgun.”
“Likely”? Since 19 is a smaller number than 21, how about “absolutely too young”?
It’s pretty easy to get a journalism job, isn’t it?
So the question is: Do you trust your government or are you sane?
about 9 as I remember. shot a single shot 410.hunted rabbits and squirrels with my grandfather. was hunting geese and ducks the next year.
You could go on CO armslist the day after the law went into affect and see 100’s of ads from people trying to offload guns or buy them, “no checks”. It did absolutely nothing here.
Stares at two of the sexiest women of their age….. Still shoots blanks
