Law abiding? This man was too young to legally own a handgun. I thought you fancied yourself some kind of expert on the subject.
Its an even bigger shame that a background check, paperwork, and even an ID won't prevent a violent criminal from easily acquiring a handgun. Could it be because violent criminals may not have a very high regard for laws, or the consequences of violating laws?
As a college student and vehicle owner, I would like to see my arbitrary transportation fee removed from my account balance each term at LCC. Lane students, and others like us, are funding transportation that many of us are not using, yet we are obligated to pay each term.
You really cannot resist, can you? You have no idea if the suspect even had a right to carry or even own a firearm. Do you even know if the suspect is old enough to legally be drinking? Here in Oregon, as far as you can tell, all gun owners are untrustworthy scoundrels who are prone to violence. Why even compare a CHL holder from Oregon with a suspected shooter? Your grand assumptions are very insulting to a large demographic of responsible gun owners that they frankly do not apply to.
Hitler was more like a Union Leader in command of a thug state. In fact, the Nazi party started out as Germany's Labor Party. He most certainly was not a conservative. He was a self-described "National Socialist."
Where is BaldrOdinson? I want him to explain to me how the suspect has a gun in spite of being a felon. Could it be because this suspect had no regard for any of the laws he has been charged with violating?
In all of your (hypothetical) Federal Marshall training, you were not educated in the principle of containment? The longer a suspect or fugitive runs free, the more danger said criminal presents to the public. Further, he chose to use his vehicle as a weapon in an area where it could inflicted mass collateral damage against unintended numbers of people. Marshalls and other "L.E.O."s get plenty of time on the range and in their private lives to try out their "serious heat." One thing a trained Federal Marshall would not do is badmouth their own, particularly if their entire knowledge of this one particular case is limited to that of a news article. Bottom line, I'd rather a team of Marshalls fire accurately upon one dangerous fugitive than hear about how they could have stopped him with firearms, but instead tried peacefully and patiently negotiating--which led to the deaths of a family of 4 on their way to get groceries.
She's a keeper! Glad they are safe and the suspect was taken in.
I hope that Barry Macguire has a stronger backbone than city council. I'd hate to see what the decline in listeners would do for Bi-Coastal Media if the show gets canceled. For every one of you that complains, there is at least one more that appreciates somebody willing to be a voice of opposition to such a bewildering situation.
You are absolutely right on all counts. The best anybody can do is prepare for change and do their best not to live complacently.
