    Gun advocates would say if only she had been armed she would have been able to defend herself.

    So, someone who commits wire fraud and robs a 1,000 people of their 401ks should be given an easier sentence than someone who pointed a gun at a gas station clerk?

    I take it you're a nonessential government worker with nothing better to do now but post crap? Maybe get your senator and Reps to give Trump the measly $5B he wants instead of playing politics and refusing simply to spite Trump.

    It's a start and could be used for surveillance systems in remote areas that are a problem. I don't think anyone expects a physical wall on the entire border.

    Every crack, every rock, every corner that could be flipped, turn and turned around. We're going to be there,"

    How big is the suspect list??? Likely pretty big.. every bearded white male ib Houston must shave


    a white, bearded man in his 40s, was driving a red pickup truck

    we are supposed to possibly get a sketch from the surviving kids memory

    Your original post with the link didn't say anything about race. It said "The gunman was described as a bearded man in his 40s wearing a red hoodie". You adding in the race from your own bias? Is this like calling George Zimmerman white even though he was Latino?

    Well I was trying to be nice and not draw conclusions

    I hadn't read the article until after my the OP

    But I did perceive it did not sound good based on what I saw on CBS that morning before the OP

    Basically they portrayed it as a white guy came up and unloaded on an innocent black family.. I hate to be the bearer of Truth but Rudy G is virtually dead.. Texans have a white racist nationalistic populist segment in their population that must be eradicated and Klobucharred.. She will be having fun with Ted soon

    There are several one track minds in history.. and in my life.. Hell I am a one track mind.. I guess some people have several cars.. but folks frown on multiple dimensional forum personality disorder

    Jim Jones is most notorious.. Flavor Aid is what was actually used.. Kool Aid was considered to be only for the corporate brainwashed low life controlled by the super elite

    It has nothing to do with a 7 year old being armed. My point was that the 2nd amendment makes no mention of certain people who the constitution does not apply to. Imagine if a convicted felon lost the right to a fair trial, or could be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, the ACLU would be all over it in a heartbeat, but take away the right to own a firearm and nobody says a word.
    By taking away the right to own a firearm means it was never a right in the first place, as rights can't be taken away. That leaves the door open to say that freedom of speech or of peaceable assembly is not a right and can be revoked should a politician find it convenient.

    That is my point too. Where in the constitution are 7 year olds excluded from guns

    Trump can shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he wouldn't lose a single supporter

    Something seems odd about this story.
    Looks like there was only a driver in the car. It's pretty hard to shoot from driver position, unless you approach from the slow lane position, but then it's hard to tell who is in the car.
    I'm almost thinking that we were not good the whole story.
    Also the beard disappeared and the sketch has too much of a detail, something that I doubt you will notice when being shot at.

    They are not, but they are excluded from voting and holding office (although looking at the House today I think some with the mental age of 7 slipped through).

    In Washington State, you have to have a permit. You don't have a permit, your gun is illegal. Illinois and Maryland require gun registration; but more people die in drive-by shootings in Chicago and Baltimore than in mass shootings in the whole of US. It is dishonest to rale about mass shootings without mentioning hand gun violence. In Chicago, in 2018, almost 3000 people died in shootings with guns. You can be sure that most of those were committed with illegal, unregistered guns. Contrarily, 307 people died in mass shootings. How many of those guns were legal?

    They were not all legal when purchased. What a crock! At least 260,000 guns stolen every year. You want legal gun owners to disarm so their legal guns won't be stolen in home invasions and robberies? No way!

    How were they first purchased then?

    If people did not leave their guns just lying around as if they were toys for any intruder to pick up then they would not have been stolen. And 260,000 guns being stolen every year points to many irresponsible gun owners, and clearly those guns were quite useless as a means of defense against intruders
