Re: LDS Teenager Murdered at her High School in Parkland

I had a friend commit suicide a few years ago. I later found out it he was the first police officer on the scene of a pretty gruesome murder. Breaks my heart. Approximately 3,000 students were evacuated in the Florida shooting on Valentine's Day. Some of them left in ambulances, some were picked up...

Re: LDS Teenager Murdered at her High School in Parkland

I know this is really crazy, but you know what would've prevented 17 people from being murdered and 19(?) others from being wounded? No firearms. - Doc With over an estimated 300 millions guns in the US what is the route for this? Is there any chance of loss of life trying to implement whatever mea...

I see, so you've been spitballing here without any facts of the case the OP addresses.

Nice showing there, buddy.


I generally try not jumping to conclusions. Even for the FBI and haven't yet taken the time to look at what and when they knew about this scum.

Re: LDS Teenager Murdered at her High School in Parkland

That's it? I could have quoted weeping politicians with NRA dollars in their accounts to get that. Are you at all familiar with the Florida shooter? Last time I checked (and I haven't checked the past few days, I'm taking a break here from a project) both the FBI and local authorities dropped the b...

Re: LDS Teenager Murdered at her High School in Parkland

So if you are talking assault rifles they are already pretty hard and expensive for a civillian to obtain. If you're talking semi auto rifles I am pretty sure one could find varying opinions of vets on this topic. There is absolutely no difficulty in obtaining these weapons. I have friends on Faceb...

Re: LDS Teenager Murdered at her High School in Parkland

Starbuck all this talk of what constitutes an assault weapon or not, and Second Amendment rights is fine. Please tell me what you see as possible solutions to the mass shootings we're seeing. What needs to be addressed and how. I wish I had the answer. It's a complex issue involving the hearts and ...

Re: LDS Teenager Murdered at her High School in Parkland

So don't call it an assault rifle. Call it a Poppazork. There, feel better? WTF problem do you think that solved? Any body come back from the dead? Jesus H. Christ.
