13. The original....

"stand your ground" state, and only a three day wait for any handgun, whether they get a background report or not.

That was 15 years ago. Maybe there's no waiting period at all now, or maybe you're issued your handgun at birth now. I haven't been keeping up with all of DeSatan's lunacy.

20. Thanks.

It hasn't changed since I moved out of that state then, which surprises me. How are you going to stand your ground if you have to wait three days?

14. Florida was doing so well damn it

Handgun which isn’t even in the new bill passed. Maybe they can add it.

4. 380 mass shootings so far this year, or over 1.7 per day.....Guns, Guns, more Guns.

[Chainfire]

5. It is who we are and it is what we do.

Get your drawers in a wad and start firing into the crowd. What could be more American?

6. I'm sure Nazi Ron will rush to the shooting site

to make sure the shooter’s 2A rights weren’t infringed in any way.

8. Only a fucking coward brings a gun to a fistfight.

I hope they catch him and take all his guns away forever.

15. A Gyopo friend of mine (army active duty in warzone vet, two tours) says it best

Take away a gun and you will see who the real men are pretty damn quick.

[rockfordfile]

9. DeSantis and the NRA pos have caused this.

[Ford_Prefect]

11. Along with the gun and ammunition manufacturers, and those jerks who sell the gun lifestyle gear.

[Ligyron]

10. Don't these idiots realize they're going to get caught?

One guy might be a "stand your ground", but 7?

Maybe the "OK corral" defence will be next up down here.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. IMO we'll find the shooter was NOT an NRA member, too.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. It will get worse before any hopes of getting better

It's like we have gone back to the Wild Wild West............

17. How about a city ordanence that shuts all business at sundown and...

signs on all highways leading into town saying "You are required by law to leave your guns with the sheriff until you leave town."




That would put the hyper pro-business and gun humper-coward crowd's panties in a huge twist.
