16 year old granddaughter is in critical condition because her grandpa thought he needed a handgun to protect his house.

Again, leave the handguns to the guys with badges.

Do you want to leave cars to the guys with badges every time there is a car accident too?

The guys with the badges need mop buckets and sponges because they usually show up in time to clean up the mess. Trying to push your nonsense agenda on a tragic story like this is pathetic.

'

Do you drive your car without looking where you are going? This man shot before he even saw who the person was!

Quote:
The Rochester Police Department says the 61-year-old homeowner and his wife were sleeping when he woke up to a noise at the front door. The homeowner then grabbed his 9 millimeter handgun and went to investigate.

He fired what appears to be two shots. One of them striking his 16-year-old granddaughter.

The granddaughter had been living with her grandparents.

I suppose the police had to mop up the blood of the shooter's granddaughter.

Then there was this today:

Two people shot to death at mall in Portland, Oregon; gunman also dies - U.S. News

Quote:
The Oregonian newspaper said that one of its sports columnists was in the mall and reported that dozens of shots were fired in the food court near the Macy's at the Clackamas Town Center around 3:20 p.m.
KGW.com reported that the shooter was wearing a hockey mask, but it did not cite a source for the information.

Yeah, I had no idea we had so many damn hand guns around here.

And I'm not using a tragedy to push any agenda to the person who said that. I'm just saying that this is a TRAGEDY that didn't have to happen. Something has people scared of their own shadows. Right wing TV or radio I'm not sure.

There is very little crime in Rochester, MN. Almost none. What the hell is this guy so scared of that he just opens fire?
