Farms and remote rural properties are precisely the kind of places you would expect to find registered firearms in our (comparatively) heavily regulated system. Even those like me who support strict gun control appreciate that these are legitimate places to have them; and while any death in such circumstances is an unspeakable tragedy, it stands to reason that such will occasionally occur (because people with guns do from time to time kill other people).
All I can say is that the US should be so lucky to only have a rural family gun homicide every now and then.

Bingo. Who would get to decide who's dumb anyway? Maybe the dumb ones are actually the smart ones?Nick - Pie Man wrote:Either dumb people get to vote, or we don't get a democracy. Can't have it both ways.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
Perhaps, then (without necessarily the word "dumb" above), it needs to be questioned whether the US is a democracy. Their prison inmates cannot vote, perhaps even after release. Voter registration seems to have a lot of dubious forces acting on it, too.Nick - Pie Man wrote:Either dumb people get to vote, or we don't get a democracy. Can't have it both ways.

The answers simple: Ban right wing white males from owning guns. That will go a long way to reducing these senseless murders.Culprit wrote:More Prayers and Thoughts today. 11 dead more injured and not a terrorist, just another a white man.
Another right wing red neck white wacko with a gun; mind you the wacko adjective was probably superfluous

Well he's not a Trump supporter, maybe he's an antisemetic democrat kook.

Nah he's definitely right wing. That is beyound debate. I saw a photo of his car laden (not bin laden) with stickers and posters that would make the KKK proud.stui magpie wrote:Well he's not a Trump supporter, maybe he's an antisemetic democrat kook.

Left wing nutters usually go after the bigger end of town.
You know the one's: I hunt & I vote.....

The only thing you hunt with Glocks (of which he had a collection) are people. Anyhoo, the Democrats aren't exactly left wing anyway. The 2 party system over there is right and further right.watt price tully wrote:Nah he's definitely right wing. That is beyound debate.
