  1. we didn’t respond cause we’re tired of the Brady Bunch too… seriously constantly whining and mailing us nasty letters and emails and calling all hours howling and crying about a new gun or an old gun they just found out about. Seriously dude they ain’t even hot enough to put up with this crap from so we told them we should start seeing other agencies but now they just drive past our HQ all slow and stuff at night tryin to see what agencies are there and man we’re just sick of this needy relationship.

  2. ” nobody would expect their gun to fire upon releasing the trigger”
    That safety bit reads a lot differently in a post-binary trigger world.

  3. In case they haven’t made our case for us well enough, they start threatening people and their kids with rape, murder, and assorted assaults.

    “Why do you think you need a gun for self-defense?”

    “Um, look at my timeline?”

  4. The local police and Sherrif out in L.V. have proven unreliable not only in their actions, but in their account of those actions. Everyone’s just covering their rears for political and legal purposes. At the very least, the Nevada state police need to investigate. In Texas, this would be handled not just by the DPS (state police), but by the elite Texas Rangers within the DPS.

    I get it; the stakes are high. Careers are potentially on the line. Still, we owe it to the victims to assess this event as thoroughly and as dispassionately as possible, such that we glean insights to apply in advance of the next spree shooting.
