In reply to the discussion: As the pendulum swings, we see a glimpse of sanity on the horizon [View all]iverglas
(38,549 posts)168. you really are a great big charmer, you are!
The poster to whom I was answering didn't take offense, so you have no reason to jump in.
And I don't give a flying fuck. How's that?
As far as my daughters are concerned, they aren't here to defend themselves or to offer their point of view; They are off limits for attack. Got that?
Are you pretending that I "attacked" your daughters? Pretty sad.
If you don't want your daughters' experiences discussed, don't talk about them. How's that?
As for your baseless comment:
Should they meekly submit like this guy?
I guess I'll look at the actual account of events:
... Police tell FOX16 that four <masked> suspects went into El Chico Sunday around 9:00 p.m. and ordered employees to the back. That's when police say witnesses heard five gunshots. When police got there, they found Herrera shot and killed.
Police say the masked suspects also got away with cash from El Chico.
"I've been told, and what we've gathered from the witnesses, no one tried to intervene or struggle with the robbers," says Little Rock Police Sgt. Cassandra Davis.

"I've been told, and what we've gathered from the witnesses, no one tried to intervene or struggle with the robbers," says Little Rock Police Sgt. Cassandra Davis.
Gosh, no one tried to intervene when four guys with at least one gun ordered employees into the back of a restaurant, out of customers' view, and shot and killed an employee, all of which plainly happened in very short order.
How surprising. What your point is, I couldn't guess. And how you know anything about the behaviour of the deceased man, let alone why you would publish this intentionally insulting depiction of him, I wouldn't know. Care to justify your mischaracterization?

OP
These gun culture folks are often disgusting. They'd sacrifice a bunch of innocents

You do know that gun sales to women is one of the fastest growing segments, right?

Also, Harley Davidson is having functions in their stores targeted (no pun... ) to women.

At least I understand it enough to know that it didn't even apply to Zimmy guy.

Nevermind that I have nothing against responsible gun ownership as I stated a few...

With only 4% or so addicted to carrying guns in public, there is no reason sanity cannot

Big difference between supporting CC and supporting laws "allowing" CC permits.

You're attempting to wriggle out of the fact that most Democrats support concealed carry.

You would hope Zimmerman walks. Self-defense in your mind is shooting people fleeing

No, I would alert LE that there was an armed individual and let them sort it out.

Just as someone can do the same to you. I am sure you would be understanding about it.

The only thing that he/she is saying is that gun ownership is up while violent crime is down
