4. It's not a normal occurrence, nor does it have anything to do with gun control,

criminal activities by lawful gun owners or FFL's, self-defense, firearm accidents, or much else that's relevant.

You apparently believe any story the mentions firearms or the NRA is somehow pertinent to the gun rights debate in the country. It is not, and you weaken your position by repeatedly posting odd, atypical, and at best, highly tangential stories where, as here between the BAFTE and NSSF, both sides of the firearm debate are in agreement and cooperating in a story about an unusual and violent robbery.

Of course, as I mentioned in my prior post, you could be impliedly suggesting some reform to stop criminals from smashing into stores with their cars for the purposes of theft, of firearms or otherwise. However, as you offered no actual opinion or comment on your OP, no less suggested a purpose relevant to the SOP of the forum, as is your habit, we are left to speculate.

Simply, illegal theft of stores owned by law-abiding FFL's is not part of the "death-spewing business." Unless you somehow wish to use this story to argue for the prohibition and confiscation of all firearms in the country, the sale of firearms is legal, and aggravated is already a serious crime. Such crime is even opposed by your dreaded nemesis, the NRA. You apparently have something in common.
