I didn't see it either. Vague, uninteresting title. I rarely open every single thread, just because it's there. Further, I saw no point in responding to post #2, due to it's schoolyardish content.

I thought he was referring to 2 mass shootings?

It's not liable to get any better anytime soon. The situation is similar to what happened last time libs started screwing with freedom. I warned about this when they stole the first election, back before they even began talking about new gun laws. I knew their intentions, we've seen their lying actions before. A tiger doesn't change its stripes.

There were no assault weapon school shootings in this country until after the first ban. That produced WACO, Ruby Ridge, and the Oklahoma City bombing. This time is much worse because we don't have a legitimate president in office, his methodology is illegal, and he has put the entire economy in dire peril. We could easily degrade into general chaos with such shootings happening on a daily basis all around us (IMO ).

Maybe that's the goal? I'm by no means a conspiracy theorist, but declaring martial law would allow POTUS to initiate a BUNCH of laws not otherwise possible. Not sure how that's addressed in US CODE. Need to research.

I just read a news story about the naval yard that claims the shooter has a criminal record AND a CCW permit.


How's that for a nice big WTF?

Apparently they can't be trusted not to shoot each other?

No, it's because they're restricted by government regulation. If the government gets their way we'll all be in the same boat as them. Helpless victims at the mercy of criminal violence.

The CNO scurrying to safety isn't quite as inspiring as Patton shooting at a plane while everyone else dives for cover.

I was wondering if either you or Wendy might have known the guy since they said he has been based in Ft Worth.

Well, they keep pissing people off by calling it an "assault weapon." Might as well call it a "shotgun", makes as much sense...
