Texas DA slain in his home; had armed himself

[Omaha Steve]

47. Your clarification was straight to a Beck & friends talking point

Your title: So "it still did him no good"? And logically his gun should have been taken away from him?

Your post: So that he would have had no chance at all?

Do you want to take away firearms from law-abiding citizens? If so, that sounds like a Bloomberg talking point.


Why? There is no logical jump from the guns will keep us safe (it didn't) to taking guns away.

Again I am a gun owner.

Since you spend so much time (about a post a day in the group) on gun control, what form of new controls do you favor? Any at all?

When Mark David Chapman wanted ti kill John Lennon, he couldn't buy ammo in the state of New York. So he went to Atlanta to get ammo from a friend. You know the rest. National laws are needed. A background check before he bought the gun (before he went to New York) would have shown he spent time in a mental institution.

Background checks for all. Even at gun shows. No sales to or transferring to convicted felons, convicted domestic abusers, etc.

I was the Crossroads Mall Santa on the evening of December 5th, 1993. The mall was packed. A gang shooting right outside the front door and in line of site of me took the life of Michael Campbell. I've seen first hand the terror of parents trying to keep their children safe in the panic that followed. Several were injured trying to get away from the shooting.

I work in Omaha. It has had gun registration and control since the 60's. My dad was a veteran and he had to register. Omaha too had a massacre on December 5, 2007 in case you forgot. He had a stolen (from his step father) Century WASP -10 with two 30 round mags taped together. Killed 9. Wounded 4.
