http://wgntv.com/2014/06/10/cops-1-dead-after-dad-mom-fire-at-gunmen-confronting-teen-daughter/ I'm assuming that the "murder investigation" is not of the people who defended themselves but of the surviving man under the felony-murder rule (i.e. if anybody dies while you are committing a dangerous felony -- even your partner in crime -- you are guilty of murder even if you didn't personally shoot). Anyways, saw this, figured you guys would be interested.
You do know that if no one had a gun in this case, the dead guy would have never had a gun and he wouldn't dead now.
You do know that if the pieces of shit would have gotten a job instead of trying to rob people, they wouldn't be dead now regardless if anyone had a gun or not.
I don't want to live in a world where Wordforge posters don't speculate wildly without a full assessment of the particulars.
Gotta disagree there. Having a job is not a guarantee that you're not a fuckhead that goes robbing people. I've met plenty of people who've done both. Work and rob people.
And good on this man for hitting both targets. And even the wife took a shot. This was the wrong house to fuck with.
Interested? Interested? I'm outraged! The father + mother have time to shoot the suspects, but not to invite them to a midnight basketball game or milk and cookies? A complete nation-wide gun ban would nip these things in the bud toot-sweet!
In light of the recent school shooting here in Oregon, my Facebook "friends" all tell me how much safer I'd be if I wasn't allowed to have guns.
Right... Cause crooks that break into houses always follow laws. Seriously though, when has legislating a solution ever solved anything? Let's look back. Ooh I know! Prohibition! No, wait that didn't work because people still got booze. Hmm... Ooh the war on drugs.... No people still get drugs. Hmmm I'm stumped. Well at least we know the history we are doomed to repeat involved booze N drugs. Now it will be booze drugs and guns. Excellent mix!
Yeah, and when the grand wizard comes along and magically erases every gun off the face of the earth and prevents anyone from being able to make more I'll share in your fantasy. Back here in reality I'll stick with "Had this person never broke into the home he'd still be alive."
That's some quick thinking and acting on the father's part. I'd feel mighty cautious about shooting two people who were walking next to my daughter.
