Doesn't seem there's much in this one bit of bother between 2 guys who obviously had guns as you do.

Where's Roasted or whatever his username is saying that (everyone) having guns is what keeps you safe?

Well that would depend how quick you are at the draw these homeboys were obviously too slow.

I think he's still busy berating and pontificating on the School Shooting thread.

I got the CNN newsflash too and thought 'here we go again', but media silence on it.




(Tin Foil Hat : Texas are suppressing it as they all carry at least eleventy guns from birth each as it is their right to)
Only eleventy? Guess the rest are handed to them at their christening ...

A little info from the beeb : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21153340

Mention of tin foil hats reminds me of the latest of two nutter conspiracy e-mails I received (why me, I don't even have a gun?) from some non-reply address VoiceOfFreedom@Inter.net, as below:


Excerpt from Muad'Dib's January 7th, 2013 Critical Mass Radio interview:

"...They used a poster child for this to get everybody's sympathy and to get everybody's emotions up so that they could hopefully bring in a gun ban. They used a little poster child, a little blonde-haired blue-eyed six year old girl. She was the face, the poster child. She was supposedly killed along with the other 19 six year olds and seven year olds at Sandy Hook. Three days later Obama was there doing a photo op and she's sitting on his knee. She's supposed to be dead, used as a poster child, this little girl died - she's sitting on Obama's knee three days later. The same little girl.

And then they have her parents interviewed. It shows that they're all actors. It never really happened, because the guy that was supposedly her dad, is shown in the video where he's to the side and he's laughing and joking with other people and then he's called up in front of the camera. He's off to the left. Then he's called to the center, to the focus of the camera to be interviewed and to give his speech about Sandy Hook and about his daughter. And he goes from on the side from laughing and joking with everybody, he comes up to the center and ... he takes the joking, smiling face off and you can see him physically trying to force his face to look sad and then he starts talking about how his daughter's been killed. They're actors. There were no bodies.

It was a made for TV drama to try to ram through the gun control laws, because they want to kill the American people and they can't kill armed people. That's why Hitler disarmed the Germans, it's why Stalin disarmed the Russians, it's why chairman Mao disarmed the Chinese and they killed between them something like 120 million of their own people. And that's what they want to do in America and they can't do it because the people have the Second Amendment and they have guns. So they have to do all of this, and they'll keep doing it. There will be more incidents like this, which are made for television, until they manage to persuade the American people to give up their guns. And then they'll start killing the Americans. Because the Americans are the only people stopping them from doing what they want to do already. They know they can't put their next phase, which is reducing the world's population, they can't put that phase into operation whilst the Americans have got millions of guns."

Yeah. I can see why it is a good idea to allow people like that easy access to guns.

Personally I'd like a gun or three myself and the legal right to use them in defence of me or my family.

Trouble is it would probably be opened up to all and sundry unless I can bag some special rights and, quite honestly, there are people I've known that I would feel very uncomfortable knowing they had access to guns. If they lost their temper, an argument or just had a bad day I don't think we'd be able to trust some of them not to start killing.

Unstable, paranoid, anti 'the authorities' to a ludicrous degree (fearing their personal safety, liberty and rights are directly, almost personally, threatened), abusers of substances to a degree that their head is messed up, permanently etc. And I suspect there are at least as many of this type in the US as here and who do have the access, and history (encouragement?) of seeing others using them.

An ongoing altercation between two people that came to a head. Not a "spree". Everyone can reel their neck Blackmon.

Phew, only a couple of guys shooting at each other in a public place. Just your everyday common or garden shootout.

It's OK, only 2 people were shot in the crossfire, and one other had a heart attack, but it wasn't a spree, so nothing to see here...

And you wonder why the US has so many gun deaths.

People fight everyday; it was not a "spree"; that is all I am saying.

Yes we have exactly the same number of shootings per head of population in London every year than in any major US city.

Oh wait..........we get nowhere near.
