Now a third person has died from yet another *nut* with a gun. Evidently..he was mad because his door was not fixed..so he walks into a McDonalds and kills a bunch of people.

Jeez, Dare I say "who's next?"

p.s. you spelled Pittsburgh wrong.

 

it is really getting sad.. i have never been for gun control but i actually have started thinking about it....how long before someone we know or love is gunned down...

 

I think this stuff is getting sensationalized TOO MUCH. It's a shonuff bad deal that any of this bullsh** went down this week, but I think there is more than just one factor that caused any of this. In the Michigan case, for example, that little S.O.B. had a history of violent outbursts at school. Why wasn't he booted out?! Why didn't the school call his crack head "parents" on the carpet?! I own, enjoy, and hunt with many firearms. I've never been involved in any crimes. My guns have never killed or harmed anyone, nor do I know anyone who has. Yet I'm probably going to be penalized because some crack heads in Michigan can't control their 6 year old child and some S.O.B. in PA can't control his temper!!! It's always so easy to point at the firearms and lay the blame off on some inanimate object.

Well, it will never end. Some sicko will always be out there no matter what. We'll just have to be there waiting with a glock when he walks in the door...

 

Dust: The reason I noticed it was, because there is a dinky town here in kansas with 12k people. Its spelled Pittsburg.

 

There's also a Pittsburg County in Oklahoma and a Pittsburg, California (far east end of SF Bay area).

 

Personally I don't have a gun....But to hammer law abiding people with lawful permits for firearms is ridiculous..A drunk driver driving a stolen F-150 kills a person,does that constitute hanging every F-150 owner? How often do states release violent criminals due to "over crowding" back on OUR streets when they served a small fraction of their sentence? Hey I am all for a small increase in taxes to build more dang jails,and ensuring the safety of our loved ones.Keep the b*stards in jail their whole damn sentance,never mind this "early release due to good behavior".Those SOB's didn't give a rats behind about "good behavior" while doing violent acts...This crap has gotta stop..IMO

 

I agree....cars kill thousands of people every year...but they will never be banned. It sickens me to see shootings all of the time on the news...but it is not GUNS causing the problem. Think of what is ever going to happen when the stock market eventually takes a dive and hundreds or thousands of people lose their shirts! You *WILL* see even more shootings I am sad to say.

Topic of this thread...the *NUT* who became P*ssed off because the door of his apartment was not fixed fast enough.....GEEEEZ!

I don't really know what the best solution is to this...except possibly SEVERE punishment to anyone who uses a firearm in a crime. No luxury prison sentences...really hard time...making those big rocks into little rocks.

I don't understand any of this violence to get even at all. I get more satisfaction taking someone's money. Your landlord won't fix your domicile? Sue him! I'd rather get some money for my troubles and laugh thinking he's pissed off everytime he thinks about it. My wife's vehicle was struck by a hit and run driver 4 1/2 years ago. The police caught up with the other driver (a woman), obtained an incriminating statement, but she tried telling her insurance company it never happened (they believed her). If there was ever anyone whose *** I dearly wanted to walk a mudhole in, it was hers. I knew where she lived, I could find her. It would have been easy to bury my foot in her butt, however, the car was still damaged. I sued her in small claims court and filed a criminal complaint of leaving the scene of an accident (VERY serious charge in Oklahoma). It still makes me smile thinking I used my wits to get even. This moron in PA throws a fit 'cause his door's not fixed to his satisfaction and picks up a gun and freaks out. Where'd that get him? Door's still broken, three families are absolutely grief stricken, he's in jail, and do-gooder politickers are trying to appease everyone by coming up with more gun control.

i agree with fordman 100%. why don't we stop defending people for their stupidity and start putting the blame where it belongs...right in the persons lap.

 

With you Ford man. De-riot, "Pits"burg, New Yurk, and DeC have some of the toughest gun laws but still have some of the highest crime rates. What next? Car control? Burger control? Doctors kill more people by accident than guns! How about criminal control? Enforce the existing laws to the fullest with no parole.

 

Ford man...I have not heard this one in years!!

"If there was ever anyone whose *** I dearly wanted to walk a mudhole in..."

I agree...you did the right thing and it really sucks that this is usually the route many people have to go.

The govt couldn't ever get rid of all the handguns. If they could use magic and make them all disappear, people could use cross bows, shotguns, knives, homemade bombs, etc. Screwdrivers can be weapons. Are yours all locked away?

I say we need to equal the playing field. You'll never disarm criminals, so let's ARM everyone. This would put would-be criminals at risk. If carrying guns was the norm, school teachers would have them too, and I think our kids would be safer.

These cold, random acts of violence won't be stopped by any other means.
