So if you want facts to matter, maybe you need to wait for them. The one fact right now is a fool shot a whole bunch of people, with a gun.a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

Re: Days Since Last Shooting II
I don't know how to try and change the culture. I really don't. That IS the key, and if anyone has any insight, I'm all ears. We used to solve things with words then it was with fists, and now it's guns. It's quite frightening and sickening.Never really developed a taste for tequila.

The church secretary relayed this to me as I arrived at an evening mass a bit ago: At an earlier mass than the one I attended someone came in with a backpack. She observed a few parishioners sitting nearby were uncomfortable and they left before the readings were done. (Why they didn’t ask the person to put the bag somewhere else was my question.)
She asked me what could be done. I said post a bag policy and I referred her to look into the policies of some neighboring parishes (see above).The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Someone mentioned things would only change if somebody gunned down 50-60 members of Congress, I disagree. They would just vote for us taxpayers to pay for more security for them, F the rest of us.
I'm saying all of this, and I'm PRO-gun. Yeah.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: Days Since Last Shooting II
Wife abuser. Child abuser. Bad conduct discharge. Was “confined” (aka jailed) by the US military for 12 months.
That would lead me to believe he would not be legal to possess a firearm much less purchase one.

So where’d he get it? The full force of the law should find and prosecute that.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Re: Days Since Last Shooting II
The appears to be merit to the reports of “good guy with a gun”.
As he exited the church, a local resident grabbed his rifle and engaged that suspect.
More details from the NY Post:
Authorities said the armed neighbor may have saved countless lives by opening fire on Kelley and forcing him to flee the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs during his 11:30 a.m. massacre.Last edited by The Sicatoka; 11-05-2017, 10:26 PM.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Re: Days Since Last Shooting II
Most likely, someone privately sold him his gun (or guns) and that sale should only legally take place through a 3rd party that can complete a background check. I’m calling it a night so I’m not going to try to look it up now, but I’d guess that in Texas the sale itself was either legal or the penalty against it is minor. I hope I’m wrong.
