Okay, just saw that he legally obtained the firearms, but those that he used were illegally modified. So, like I just posted, he became a felon the moment he did that. Are more laws going to help ?

Guns can be controlled we just lack the will to do it. It is an issue of culture. We must end the glorification of weapons.
Wrong.

that was another scenario I was thinking about.

hopefully the ME can determine time of death and will also do a gunshot residue test on his body.

Back to the less controversial sub-sections I go.

Actually, other than a few people that had to interject some idiocracy into the thread, I think it has been pretty good so far.

i am not supporting the tweeter, merely saying it is not psychotic. some here want to paint the left as crazy as spend their days seeking things to attack...

I think most rational folk can see the tweeter is simply upset and venting at what they perceive to be one of the root causes. (ie NRA buying up votes and campaigning endless to loosen our already very weak gun controls)

Looks like it. I don't know about in Vegas though.

So you're saying we shouldn't have laws against rape, robbery, etc. because they still happen despite being illegal?

The reality is that you and many others here consistently do this so either own it or stop it.
referring to 'reactions from the left' by no means implicates all leftists. the tweet was one of a series of three nasty reactions by leftists - there will assuredly be many more, which is why i suggested the potential need for a separate thread to collect them.

methinks you doth protest too much?
