SkyDekker 1,465 #7 December 9, 2011 Quotesome of the officer's blood got on them during your attempt at an ideological victory dance. I feel bad for the officer's family. However, the officer knew, or should have known, the risks of his job. Same when a skydiver bounces. Sad, but hardly earth shattering news. Lastly, it wasn't an ideological victory dance. It is what happens when people post things without voicing a point or their opinion, it leaves people guessing. I have stated many times that I do not have a problem with your gun laws. As a matter fo fact, based on your constitution, I think the laws on the books are too restrictive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern_Man 0 #9 December 9, 2011 QuoteNot quite equivalent to the other situation...this was a traffic stop on a street passing through campus, if I understand the reports correctly. Yes, officer (who was a father of 5) was shot at a traffic stop. The person who shot him was not the person he had stopped. The shooter then ran a little ways before shooting himself."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #12 December 10, 2011 Quoteif you would just provide some commentary with your continuous posting of newslinks. Are you incapable of formulating your own thoughts on a news story, and discussing them? Do you need me to tell you what to think? Take the lead, set the example, live by your own words, and tell us what point you were making when you said: "I wonder if he bought the gun on Black Friday."If you're not willing to do it yourself, then you have no right complaining about others not doing it. What's it going to be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is that so hard for you to figure out? The last time you posted something to talk about was five months ago - if everyone was like you, this place would be a ghost town. All you do is run around and gripe about what everyone else posts, without starting anything new yourself. Thank goodness that we have people here, unlike you, who are willing to start new topics for discussion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, old woman, if you think I don't say anything about various subjects, then quite clearly you don't know what the heck you're talking about, as evidenced by the numerous opinionated postings I've made. No one here is left with any doubt what my position is on the subjects upon which I express myself, and that includes the topic of guns, which is what this thread is about. If you're not interested in what I post, feel free to say nothing and just move on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
