In reply to Uber driver kills 6 between runs. Background checks?

Cedric Ford musta' thought that blasting while rolling looked like too much fun not to emulate.

Of course, Dalton ( still alive) blasted and rolled while WHITE.

Ford's (dead) blasted and rolled while BLACK..

They were, nonetheless, brothers under the skin.

they both loved shooting so much, they would shoot at nothing

I wasn't referring to a Dirty Harry confrontation, a neighborly talk when the problem person is not armed or too drunk to reason with could be effective and if it isn't you call the Pigs.

I'm probably expecting too much from people who have been and are being conditioned to depend on authorities for their safety, which is not their agenda, and who are willing to give up their right and responsibility to defend themselves, their families and neighborhood. This defense doesn't have to depend on guns, just the will to confront problems directly before turning to and submitting to often deadly authority figures.

Well, thank you, Jesus!

I think I have been very clear that any reckless/dangerous misuse of guns should be grounds for confiscation and prosecution. I also think it is the responsibility/duty of witnesses to these illegal misuses of guns to either confront or report these violators of other peoples safety.

You appear to be our " go-to nut" now that Resistance has gone ( no doubt) to his reward, so let me avail myself of the opportunity to educate myself.

1. Backyard ranges aside, where are you on the practice described of firing at the sky out your back door?

2 Ought gun owners be subject to confiscation under the standard enunciated in the California law?

3.Should Dalton have had his gun confiscated?

I think you don't want to admit how gun control nuts have to create dramas such as this to further the Cause and appear to be earning the Bloomberg money they get to fund their activism. This isn't the first incident and will probably be the new meme used to keep the 'problems' in the news.

This fable reminds me of one of those Master Card commercials, gun nut buys supplies and gun for his backyard shooting range, $500 on his MC. Few people seem to notice or care locally so gun nut contacts faux conservative celebrity entertainer to publicize this gun right, no charge. Adverse publicity shames local lawmakers on national TV resulting in new law to protect the helpless victims of gun rights, Priceless!

Gun nut comes out of the closet to proclaim he was an undercover gun control nut bravely infiltrating the Florida gun culture, Double Priceless

You don't read much and don't follow many stories. Varrieur made that claim after shamed by the national media and Colbert. Before that his story was different. This is only one of at least a dozen similar stories I've read on this issue over the last few years. The NRA and ALEC designed legislation fpr states to stop cities from regulating guns has passed in several states. I'm not real great as selecting keywords and doing searches and I don't have time to find you links to stories you should have read if you're going to comment on these issues. Believe what you want, pontificating from a position of ignorance is your forte anyway.

We can take satisfaction, it would appear that in this case the effort was successful.

I'm feeling more secure already, and its been years since I was in the Keys.

Your unsupported assertion that no problems attendant upon people doing target practice in areas zoned for density less than one dwelling per acre density is, like your identity, unverified.

It simply does not appear to be addressed in this story.

In reply to Many states have laws banning

The link you provided seems to contradict your assertions because even under the old law in Florida both incidents we're discussing would have been 'reckless' discharge of firearms and illegal. The new law proposed there will make residential gun ranges illegal even though they are not reckless but could be dangerous.

It appears there wasn't even a problem with residential firing ranges in Florida and the one residential gun range mentioned was set up by a gun control nut to advance more gun control laws that address nonexistent problems but make the rubes who support this nonsense feel more arrogant and secure.

Many states have laws banning

In reply to I don't know about Texas but

Many states have laws banning local communities from regulating guns. The reason is to stop liberal cities in red states from enacting any type of gun control. I've read numerous articles on this problem over the last few years. I did a quick search and found one for you. Florida is always a key word when searching for anything stupid but it's not alone. The gun nuts are beating us in state after state.
