An armed citizen did the right thing.To Error Is Human To Forgive Is Not SAC Policy -
A few years ago a guy tried to shoot up a church in Colorado Springs. A member of the congregation was on security duty that day and stopped him. Naturally he killed himself.Comment

Why aren't the mass media playing this up? As bad as it was, without an armed citizen, it would have been much worse.Comment

Actually the story is getting a lot of play. But the "Good Guy With a Gun" argument has its limits, and perhaps unintended consequences.
For example, because Good Guys follow laws, there should be no problem putting AR-pattern rifles under NFA rules. Good Guys don't mind getting fingerprinted and having their acquisition put in the database, because they have nothing to hide in that respect, and manufacturers of course will be willing to offer up rebates on the tax because they want Good Guys to keep buying ARs. (Actually that last part could be true).
The guy spent a year in military prison and got a BCD, and he submitted a clean 4473 and didn't get a NICS hit. I for one would like to know what the heck was going on there.Comment

It is just proof that the laws don't work and piling more and more rules, laws and, regulations on the good guys, doesn't keep the bad guys from getting weapons. Maybe it would be better to pass tougher laws on on the crimes... Make it a crime to commit, murder, rape and terrorist crimes.... wait I think that one might have been tried too, but it sure ain't working is it?
What we need is just one more new law to go with the 25,000 laws we already have tried. We just need to keep adding them on and someday we will find the one that works. You cannot mandate common sense and that is in reality our real failure as a nation. People are no longer respectful of each other let alone the anthem, the flag, or the law. And this is what you get...Last edited by RED; 11-06-2017, 11:53.Comment

I for one would like to hear the FBI admit their error, because ordinarily, nothing will cause loss of gun rights faster than a domestic abuse charge; merely a charge, not a conviction! Or the federal prison authorities who failed to submit the required paperwork to the FBI. Not holding my breath.Comment

Well you'd be able to start breathing again because the AF admitted they didn't send the info on. They're hardly alone. The whole NICS system is sort of one giant loophole.Comment

All gun show sales require a background check here. I wrote a guy a check and put my DL information on it. Somebody walked off with it while he is b.s.ing with his buddies.
I filed a report with the Sheriff and CO Bureau of Investigation who runs our check system. CBI acknowledges people make fake DL to buy guns. "Can I flag my DL in the system so I will be notified some way every time my DL is used to buy a gun?" Nope, no can do. Why bother catching crooks?Comment

Heads seem unlikely to roll IMO if that's what you're asking.Comment

the occurrence of these shooting makes me feel like there might be something else attached to it, i bet before the end of this year there will be another shooting.Comment

Something else? What else is needed to account for it but the US national philosophy of "if it feels good, do it," along with the belief that nothing in the universe is more important than "ME": expressing your (sick & selfish) personality, letting your inner SOB out to make life miserable for everyone around you. It's hideous tattoos, freakish piercings, transfreaks.
And to think I grew up worrying about nuclear war being the worst of all possibilities.Comment
