This guy stepped over the line...

While it seems much more tame here, It got pretty heated on another board I'm on with people gloating about "if someone comes into my house they are leaving in a body bag"

Take this however you will but I have what you would consider a decent amount of trigger time, as I'm sure several others here do. Until you have been put into a situation that truly endangers your life, which this 64yr old man was not in, you will not understand the emotions that go through your head. Until you have had to take life you can't even fathom the effect that has on you. I had a hard time coping with things I did against people that were trying to kill me, and conspiring to kill me. I couldn't imagine trying to deal with killing two kids (yes age is relevant) who were unarmed.

This goes to show the lack of training, and discipline by gun owners. I don't blame the gun grabbers one bit for taking this and running with it, because it has been made clear to me by the responses over this throughout the internet that there are many other wack jobs like this that shouldn't own a firearm.

Simply killing someone because they are in your home is not acceptable, that is what we have a Judicial system for. You are not Judge Dredd. If you want your BOL and your COTUS, then you need to embrace all of it, this is not war, combat, or a 3rd world country. You get one shot to eliminate your threat, if you miss, or it doesn't kill them... that doesn't mean continue engaging them once they are no longer engaging you. The threat has been eliminated, if the outcome wasn't what you wanted, too fawking bad.

Aside from that, there is no doubt in my mind this was premeditated. Who starts randomly shooting at legs @ 1pm on Thanksgiving? It could of been anyone... family, friends, neighbor. This old man had a plan, and he executed it. What other foul play may be involved I had no doubt will come out... Innocent people don't drag bodies onto tarps, and into different rooms... wait 25hrs to call a neighbor for a lawyer and STILL didn't call the police.
