After the shooting, the couple headed toward a nearby Wal-Mart, where Jerad Miller was confronted by Joseph Robert Wilcox, 31, of Las Vegas. Wilcox was legally carrying a concealed pistol. Wilcox was unaware that Amanda Miller, who was pushing a shopping cart, was involved in the incident and “lying in wait,” the official said.
She slipped behind Wilcox and shot him at close range.
“He had no idea the wife was walking behind him,” the police official said of the murdered man. “This guy (Wilcox) was not some idiot with a gun. To me, he was a hero. He was trying to stop an active shooter.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if Wilcox fired a shot, or if he hit Jerad Miller before he died.
Hell, at this point I only wish all we had to worry about were "eco Nazis" still blowing up tractors. And they don't even do that anymore.
On the other hand, RWNJs can get their hands on as many guns as they want right now, thanks to the blind support of the "shooting community," and kill anyone they please. Today. Yesterday. Saturday. Last week, and the week before that.
Otherwise, your false equivalency post was outstanding.
As can liberal kooks. A huge manhunt in the SF Bay area last week for a man who worked as a consultant for Dems. He had plenty of guns, and had expressed a desire to kill people.
Ummmm...yea. They were nut cases. Shocking! But, there is no correlation here to the firearms rights due ate. They had no real ties to the real shooting community. Nothing but fringe extremists, just like the lefts darling eco Nazis that blow things up to get their point across.
Tell, me one thing.
When one or more people walk into a restuarant with rifles, while you and your family are eating dinner, how do you know whether they are responsible gun owners whose trunk is so full of crap there's no room for their guns or part of the "fringe element" you speak of?
Does every patron's sphincter have to take a pucker on their seat until those people with the guns walk up and say, "Howdy Mam! I'll have the meat loaf special and a cup of Joe, thank ya kindly."
It seems to me, based on historical fact that the fringe element from both sides of the fence, the whackos and the truly mentally deficient all get guns as fast as they can, obsess about them and finally use them.
Bill Ayers, The Black Panther Party, The New Black Panther Party, The Symbionese Liberation Army, the Gabrielle Giffords shooter, the Colorado movie theater shooter, the kid who murdered because he couldn't get a girlfriend, the Unabomber... that's a few cases of extreme violence by people with left-of-center views just off the top of my head. There are many others.

Worked as a consultant for the Democrats? Expressed a desire to kill people?
How many did he kill? Did he drape their bodies with the Tea Party adopted symbol?
How many of the recent killings of the last week were by people who had openly expressed strong left-wing beliefs? Maybe the "sovereign citizen" in Georgia? Or will you call him a "liberal" because he grew pot?
Perhaps the Santa Barbara College killer is a left wing extremist because he hates women and thinks they're objects -- you know, like half the male conservative posters on this forum?
You guys are really reaching these days to pin this stuff elsewhere. I guess I would too, if my political ideology was behind this viciousness.
It does look like these two were inspired by the Bundy Standoff. What was that other than a bunch of RWNJ's out in the desert. The only sane voice from the right comes from Glenn Beck who has been warning about people going overboard for about four years now.
"The suspects in Sunday's shooting spree in Las Vegas that claimed the lives of two police officers and a shopper were a young married couple who espoused extreme pro-gun and anti-government views on their Facebook pages and who had spent time at the ranch of Cliven Bundy, whose standoff with the federal government made him a cause celebre in the so-called 'patriot' movement."
When is this country going to stop coddling these maniacs and start calling them out for what they are: terrorists?
They are terrorists to non-gun nuts. I'd like to know when the Congress is going to stop bending over for the NRA. I guess it will take a Democratic super-majority.

I'm not saying anyone's stupid; I'm saying that some people just have bad luck when it comes to thinking.
Even if this patently absurd notion were true, no one could hold a candle to the Kennedy's or Bill Clinton for using women like smokers use ashtrays.
Turns out Harry Reid was right about Bundy and Bunkerville being full of domestic terrorists. Unless you call killing two policemen and draping a Tea Party Gadsden Flag over the bodies of two dead police officers normal "Chicago" style violence.

I've scraped worthier things off the bottom of my shoe than Harry Reid.
