Always eat the vegans first
The Douglas County guy was a crazy person where law enforcement had little ability in previous cases to do something or charge the person with serious crimes. He wasn't trying to get away he was barricaded to ambush and knew he would probably die (or maybe he was so crazy he didn't).
The last two were criminals doing criminal stuff. Weapons possession was probably already illegal in addition to the other crimes they were committing. The media can't do anything with that.
I'm thinking we are talking about two different things. From what I understand the guy yesterday was a car thief (criminal behavior). The guy in Adams County has a lengthy criminal history as well. I don't remember the off the top of my head what they were attempting to contact him for immediately prior to the shooting other than a disturbance. It is my understanding that he is a felon and was illegally in possession of a weapon.
Why do you keep mentioning two background checks?
"There are no finger prints under water."
Because you have to pass two of them to buy a gun these days in Colorado. And you get to pay for the state one.
Guys, my point is simply that the media will not do a story on how these killers got their guns unless it came from some gunshow type thing. Our background checks are not working, as criminals clearly obtain their weapons without getting a BGC done.
I am waiting for some legislator in Denver to try and push some gun control thing in light of these 3 sad situations. Yet the media will not point out that these killers don't follow any law that would be created. I am sure I am preaching to the choir here...
A sad day for those hurt and their families and co workers.
This is really upsetting. I have a lot of friends and family in law enforcement. All of you out there in law enforcement, please stay safe!
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
