Here's your NRA approved, 2nd amendment spouting, vomiting on dog Phoenix shooter right here



Anthony Jamar Houston, 22, was booked into the Maricopa County jail on various felony charges, including three counts of aggravated assault, after his arrest about 7 p.m., said Phoenix Police Officer James Holmes.

Houston was sought in connection with the Tuesday night shooting that was sparked when Houston allegedly vomited on a dog being walked by the man.

Houston is suspected of firing at the man and then at his apartment, where the man and two children were wounded.

Other charges possibly facing Houston are two counts of felony, three counts of felony endangerment, prohibited possessor of a firearm and discharging a firearm at a residence, Holmes said.


I'm sure that even the most ardent gun-grabber would agree that this POS deserves a life sentence in an Arizona prison for vomiting on a dog let alone being in possession of an illegal firearm.

We need stronger laws against dog vomiting.

We should do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to prevent those individuals from getting their hands on weapons and ammo.

just reading this thread tells me he's posting flamebait, much like you do constantly.
And on that note, I'm done with you on this thread, so, get the last word in or alert.

He's obviously emotionally overwrought, because his argument lacks logic.

Prosecute the guy under existing law, don't deny rights to others. It would be like closing all McDonald's because Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell overeat.

Since 1966, the National Rifle Association has urged the federal government to address the problem of mental illness and violence. As we noted then, “the time is at hand to seek means by which society can identify, treat and temporarily isolate such individuals,” because “elimination of the instrument by which these crimes are committed cannot arrest the ravages of a psychotic murderer.”[1]

More recently, the NRA has supported legislation to ensure that appropriate records of those who have been judged mentally incompetent or involuntarily committed to mental institutions be made available for use in firearms transfer background checks. The NRA will support any reasonable step to fix America’s broken mental health system without intruding on the constitutional rights of Americans....


...In January 2008, President George W. Bush signed the bipartisan “NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007.”[5] The NRA-supported legislation created incentives for states to upgrade their procedures for timely and accurate reporting of records—including mental health records—to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. All federal firearm licensees are required to check the system (either directly or through a state point of contact) before proceeding with a sale.[6] To accomplish this task, the legislation authorized federal grants to states that improve their record keeping and supply those records to NICS, while also developing procedures under which people who have recovered from mental illness can get their firearms rights restored.

To support state cooperation in providing records, the NRA has worked with lawmakers in many states to pass legislation to implement the federal law. Passage of such legislation, along with other administrative and policy changes at the state level, has allowed states to provide hundreds of thousands of mental health records to NICS since 2008.
