My sympathies go out to family and friends of the victims. This remote area is a very strange part of Washington State, it that attracts a lot of bad people. The man that killed his family and himself had a very long rap sheet. This area has one of the highest crime rates in the State. Not making big news, but not too far from this tragedy, Selma Hayak has a ranch in Yelm WA.. One of her pet dogs was shot and killed a few days ago on her property. No reason or motive is known, no suspect.
As a gun owner, I agree. Gun SAFETY should be EVERYONE'S responsibility. Gun CONTROL, on the other hand, has no business in a civilized, responsible, law-abiding society that values the Constitution.
Really? No gun control what so ever? Felons? Children? Illegal Aliens? I guess we'll agree to disagree.
That's not extreme hyperbole, that's logical and reasonable gun control. You're the one who said this, "Gun CONTROL, on the other hand, has no business in a civilized, responsible, law-abiding society that values the Constitution." I'm very politely saying gun control has a place in a civilized, reasonable, law-abiding society that values and respects the Constitution.
So....you assumed (not sure if serious) that I was talking about letting felons and illegals have guns? Sly...I KNOW you're not that stupid. I know you're not. I think it's reasonable to believe I was talking about the type of gun control that tells you how many bullets you can have in your gun, what kind of rifle you can own based on what it looks like, what type of ammunition you can carry, and where you can legally carry a concealed weapon (and who's allowed to receive a CWP based on the politics of the area you live in). THAT type of gun control.
I've learned not to assume anything on here. If I remember right, MarAzul believes in no gun control. There are some that believe any gun control violates the constitution.
Don't you know the rules of the Liberal Media? If it's 3 or more people shot, even if they don't die...then it's a "mass shooting". Funny though....they don't call it mass shootings in Chicago....
Yes. Mass shooting refers to an incident involving multiple victims of gun violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shooting
I think, overall, we're fine as a country on where we are right now with Gun Control. For now. In more isolated areas throughout the country though, I believe there needs to be serious changes; most of all in California. That whole state is a mecca for violating the 2nd Amendment.
The states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Vermont and Wyoming allow citizens to carry concealed firearms without a permit. Lawmakers in Idaho and Wyoming are pushing to pass a law that will allow citizens to carry concealed firearms without a permit. Not much progress in Idaho yet, they are still debating the issue. However, a Wyoming state legislative panel approved their plans, which increases the odds it will pass into law.
If I had any state to move to from Washington, it would probably be Arizona; more specifically the Flagstaff area. I hear it doesn't get too hot there in the Summer, which is nice because I absolutely HATE the heat. But if Idaho passes Constitutional Carry, then that would make it appealing as well. Especially since it's not as far of a drive to move there. Would you believe me if I told you that some dipshit on 49er Forums tried to argue with me once that ALASKA has more gun violence than CALIFORNIA? SMH.
