Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody[W: 150]

Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

Cops are about as proficient as gangbangers with firearms and expelled 3 times the ammo. The average citizen should handle their firearms more intelligently than our police.


Maybe you trust every citizen with a gun more than the police, but most people do not.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

If you had actually read the article you would know the people were not shot buy stray bullets. They got hit by fragments that ricocheted during the shooting.

So they were not injured as a result of the gunfire?

They absolutely were, but not because of anyone being untrained or a bad shot as you tried to say and imply. Nice try though.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

Thank God no one was killed.

Thank God for government legislation deflecting the bullets from vital organs saving these lives:lamo
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

Don't hesitate to exploit this for political gains. Classless behavior is a great way to convince people about a political issue.:roll:

I would rather shed a million tears over the ugly truth then smile over a million beautiful lies.

The point I made was that injuries and deaths may happen even with training.

In reply to this....

This is why they should teach shooting and gun control in high school. At least then if you're gonna shoot someone, you hit your target.

Sure you were. :lol:
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

This story was blown out of proportion. 2 guys shot it out with each other in the cafeteria there. After one of them got shot, the other one shot himself as he was attempting to put his gun back in his pants. Let's hope he shot his dick off, and won't be able to procreate any more dumbasses like himself. A janitor did get caught in the crossfire, and he is the only one who got shot that I feel bad about. A 4th person had an anxiety attack, which was mistaken for a heart attack.

Yes, this is bad, but it is nothing similar to Newtown, or any other mass shooting.

Media Whores = Anything for ratings.

From what I have heard, there was only one gun and one shooter involved.
And placing his gun back in his waistband, the gun discharged, striking him in the backside.
Arrested later at the Hospital.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

We have a difference of opinion about that then. I clearly see as one goal of gun groups to enlarge the population of gun owners so that it empowers them and their agenda. In fact, the statements of Wayne La Pierre of the NRA have confirmed this.

Others in the gun culture have made it very clear that they want more guns and more people to carry guns.

John Lott's Website

If you require more proof, I can provide statements from folks expressing much the same thing as Mr. Lott.
And what exactly would that agenda be?

Let me help. "To protect and preserve the 2nd Amendment". It seems to me that their very existence is the byproduct of the actions of those who seek to subvert the constitution.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

That is the down side of ANY and ALL of our Constitutional rights, they are given to all at birth (or at least citizens upon attaining adult age). Once you assert that "training" or "qualification" may be added to get them then one may ask why allow voting by morons? Much more harm, to our rights and freedom, can be done by passing restrictive laws and ceding ever more control/power to the gov't by voting for (and by) morons, than can be done by any single individual with a gun. Many elections are decided by less than 5% of the voters. Calls for adding the requirement of a simply presenting a valid, state issued, photo ID to vote are often rejected, much less adding any tests of voter competency, e.g. naming the current US representatives, two Senators and one House representative. Those that are very quick to demand "strict qualification tests" for getting one's 2A rights seem to be the very same folks that would deny any "reasonable restriction" being paced on the right to vote. I will take your "public safety" concerns seriously when you pass and enforce laws to permanently lock up all repeat felony offenders (and the criminally insane) and require only citizens with valid, state issued, photo IDs showing current residency be allowed to vote (only once and only as themselves) in a given election.

Seems kind of silly not to recognize an issue and consider the consequences of that issue. I don't believe we can legislate everything, but we should at least recognize the inherent dangers involved. They are dangers even from those who are not repeat offenders or criminally insane.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

I already did. A lesser trained person with a 2-5lb trigger is more accurate than a well trained cop with a 13lb trigger.

The New York Trigger negates any training the cop received than a relatively low trained civilian. Trigger pull makes that big of a difference.

I suspect not. Few could even remain calm enough to react appropriately.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

They continually show reckless display. I wouldn't base decisions on civilian access to firearms off an aggressive, apathetic towards public safety, authoritarian branch of the government.

I've seen first hand outcomes with civilians with weapons as a paramedic. Tens, never picked up one shooting a criminal. But lord, the idiots. I tell you, there is a danger. I just don't know how to keep the stupid, the awkward, the unskilled from having them. But they are the bigger threat.

Perhaps a solution might be to have the government armed, like Sheriff Andy Taylor, and the public allowed one bullet each, like Deputy Barney Fife. Of course the gun that accepts that single bullet will be kept in a separate location.

It might be time to treat the civilian population of The United States of America like 300 million Barney Fifes, just as they do in Europe. This is a solution that would have broad appeal to the Barney Fife leftists everywhere, though admittedly a more difficult sell to the Any Taylors of the world.

You do know why they only let Barney have one bullet, don't you?

Sheriff Andy Taylor never carried a gun, if memory serves me correct...

I suppose the same could be said of voting rights!

Well we know how the did react, and I think taking cover is always a good option.

Probably not, but I do like good sarcasm.

Perhaps. But less dangerous overall.

Hardly. The right to dictate others' lives is the most dangerous power available.

Clever tactic indeed. Perhaps you can tell us just why the "consequences of that issue" and "the inherent dangers involved" seemed to arrive spontaneously, and immediately after the 2012 election, yet did not seem to exist at all during the campaign leading up to that election. Feinstein just happened to have an AWB/MCL written and ready to roll out even before the "Biden team" even called for it. To me this seems just a bit more of a political timing of a preplanned event (poitical agenda?) rather than some "crisis" or "emergency" situation having suddenly occured to trigger it. As recent news reports suggest the real nature (truth?) of the infamous CT shooting, initially hyped as "proof" that an AWB ban was "the answer", now indicate that handguns, not even mentioned in most of the 23 EO nonsense, were the weapons of mass murder in that "key" incident.

No doubt there are other factors at play as well.
Yeah man...you bet. Like...no guns, and they still manage to successfully complete the act of suicide at a rate 5 times greater than in the US. Which makes your suicide/gun comment rather...silly.
 
Re: Lone Star College Shooting Leaves 3 Injured, 'Person of Interest' in Custody

So....wait...somewhere, among the 350+ millions americans, two of them with guns shot at each other?
