this was in the seattle times today, i wanted to post it earlier but i digress....

really weird since he lived on queen anne... in the middle of seattle.

 

[Danman]

Wow, that sucks.........

 

[spidey07]

guess he didn't own a firearm? guess he learned his lesson.

isn't it ironic? wake up people, bear arms.

[sarcasm] yea, god knows he would have been able to shoot that sniper... since we all know when snipers are targeting us... [/sarcasm]

 

[NeoV]

right....people that own firearms are never the victims of crime...I forgot that was true...

 

[FrysInsider]

Tell me spidey07, how exactly would this guy have
defended himself armed with a pistol and some basic
gun training?

 

[mgo]

I'm so sorry to learn of this. A proofound loss of someone who had the courage of his convictions.

 

[spidey07]

Alright,

I made a rash statement but at the same time had to think home protection could have helped. I'm stayin out of this thread - recent events have made me stock up on ammo and keep my guns stocked-cocked and ready to fire, even the one in the car.

bowing out and feeling like an arse for my comments on what really is a tragedy.

I think in this case a gun wouldnt have helped.. but I agree that there is times it could come in handy.........
If you cant handle a gun, then dont have one- no one is forcing anyone to own guns, but damnit, dont take them away from those who want them...

No kidding. I am going to shot those Anthrax spores if they come near me.

 

[sandorski]

The only time a loaded weapon has come in handy for me was at a shooting range. Those circles were looking at me funny!

Nog, don't take guns away from all those criminals! Give some more weapons to terrorists too!

An officer of the court cited for hit and run? Was he suspected of killing someone?

 

[Neuroanatomist]

..another one of those stories that got pushed out of page-one

(raising of the Russian sub Kursk)
(salvage of the Japanese fishing trawler)
(plane shot down by Russians over black sea)
(loss of privacy rights)
(Yankees beat the A's)

ROFL!!

Well, it is sad that he was murdered, but I suppose we'll now see Rosie arguing about more gun control as a result. It's time to use his name for political purposes, as those opportunists love to do.

Note to self: Gun show next week. Buy at least one.
