Read the article. His WIFE said he was furious about Obama being elected, was concinvced the gov't. was conspiring to get him.You know - multiple cop shootings are on the rise since these whackos started stocking up on guns. But hey, let's give them assault rifle permits and AK-47's so they can REALLY go out there and cause havoc!
I'm all for the right to bear arms, as in a gun or two around the house for self defensive measures. I also have zero problem with gun collectors. But I am not a fan of people having and using military grade weapons - especially when they outgun police officers.
This is just a HUGE pot of water that is leading up to a boil. The radicals like Sarah Palin and co. got the right wing fired up when they tried to peg Obama as someone who "pals around with terrorists." Crowds would shout "TERRORIST!" at McCain rallies when called upon to describe Obama... and even though Obama has not made one single solitary comment about guns since he was elected, the far right has stocked up on guns like toy trains.
We are due for a severely hot summer with the coming El Nino... if one of these right-wing fuckers gets a clear shot on Obama - you can expect massive riots this summer. Pig flu. Economy. Socialism. May Day protests....All of the ingredients are coming together nicely now for a Summer no one will forget. Wish I could just leave the country from June - September.
Your argument is a strawman. Palin didn't get anybody doing anything. The fact that Biden is his VP would have WAY more of an impact. The fact the anti-gun lobby feeds the Democratic machine would have WAY more impact.
The fact that the left and the media took the teaparties and blew them all out of proportion and starting making bullshit connections to armed revolution out of peaceful, lawful demonstrations would have WAY more of an impact.
Now try looking at the facts. This guy was supposed to be going to anger management on a court order was not. The court order was for domestic violence; which, unless something's changed REAL recently, is an AUTOMATIC disqualifier for owning or possessing a firearm.
Why isn't the court enforcing the law?
This guy was a walking bomb looking for a place to explode. The connection the author attempts to make to Obama is ridiculous at best, and is nothing but bullshit as implied in the thread title.
This guy was hit with a taser and came off the ground firing with a weapon the officers were unaware of. That means small handgun, not military-style weapon.
Let me know if I missed destroying anything.
He was a walking time bomb. A powerful man who got up after being Taz'ed (?!?!) so that 2 cops were not enough tto subdue hi,m.
This is yet another incident that police departments across the country will review and modify their procedures. Those cops should have been notified he carried a weapon and they should have had him facedown, hand behind his back, cuffed, with a cop's knee between his shoulder blades,
cop's gun to his head.
His wife or familiy or friends who knew him saw the signs and should have taken preventative action.
Gun collector, angry, emotionally unbalanced, paranoid, prone to attack, violent.
Take away the guy's weapons, like you would take away a drunk's car keys,
before someone gets hurt.
Any arguments like "OH, well we shouldn't do that....it would be violating his rights..."
are sheer cowardice.
Take away crazy people's weapons, or you may be the one who is staring at that those wild eyes and into that gunbarrel.
