News Us congressman shot

Thanks @Fadeaway! That makes more sense!

So what would all of you call someone that takes a high powered assault rifle and shoots 4 people???? An upstanding citizen just doing target practice?????

I thought your analogy a particularly poignant one, and chilling.

Until our laws change, then we are stuck with this....

EXACTLY my point from the beginning. This is political. And I believe laws and so so much more, need to change. ASAP. Being shot, being a victim of violent crime, watching these scenarios play out again and again and again, for so many of us, for a perceived "right"? No, thank you!!

It was a chilling plot by a leftist to take out as many house Republicans as he could and thankfully he couldn't shoot worth a spit. The chaos that would have ensued for our governance and the potential loss of those elected by the people they serve/represent was diabolical.

I also agree with @lostforgottensoul in that guns aren't the problem, PEOPLE are!!!!!

@ShikibuZ, you missed this statement. Outlaw guns and you will have criminals buying more guns on the black market and still shooting up people. What then?

Nope. Didn't miss it. I just think it a weak argument. I am meticulously careful in my reading and critical thinking. Please do not assume, in the future, that I've missed something you feel is relevant.

@desiderata310 I stand by my statement that "only mentally ill people go on shooting...

Went to state gun laws/mentally ill site and Kentucky is only state I believe that is not listed and I wonder why? @She Cat. Jade

 

[EveHarrington]

Lots of sane people kill others every day!

I'm going to leave it at that...

Think, think, think...

Get where I'm going with this one?

Good.

This is really interesting: FBI offers portrait of troubled Alexandria shooter with 'anger management problem'

It outlines his rather bumpy criminal past, including charges for battery that were eventually dismissed after a period of supervision, and recently leaving his wife to live in his van and was known for an "anger management problem" by his friends and family.
