They tried to use local laws in the States and ended up with most of the concealed carry preventions in place since the 1840 being thrown out by the SCOTUS. Now the situation is that any stop by a cop is a potential gun incident. Then put in cops trained in Iraq and administrations unwilling to take abusive cops to task you have a shoot to kill policy for ethnic communities.

Wha...I've been following the story on the news. What a shame. I wish there was more of a public outcry towards the father giving back the guns but as least up in these parts, there really hasn't.

I know part of it is that we can get news 24-7 so we hear about these shootings way more than we used plus it’s a hot button issue so that adds to what is going to be shared in the news, but putting that argument aside, when does enough become enough?!?! I wish any of us knew the answer. I know it’s not a single issue issue as there are many factors that have made us this gun loving, mass shooting country, but the vitriol that comes out during discussions over it, well over anything anymore really, makes solving a problem like this impossible. I’m not hopeful that this country can solve any of its problems if we keep this up. <br />Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-12505413546371005582018-04-28T10:44:05.322-05:002018-04-28T10:44:05.322-05:00I wouldn't count on that "locked up for t...I wouldn't count on that "locked up for the rest of his life" part. <br /><br />Again, a preventable incident. In this case, I believe there should be charges brought against his father. He needs to be held accountable. Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
