    You are 1 of the very very few posters here I respect. Whether I agree or disagree with your post(s), at least you give valid justification for why you post as you do.
    That's not something that happens very often.

    It is easy to get caught up in tit for tat on anonymous forums without face to face contact.

    Hi, dharbert,

    There are three necessary and inter-related components in the majority of deaths by gunshot. These are a shooter, a gun, and a bullet or shot*. The death can be thwarted by the removal of any single component. In the 'blame' game, blaming any of the components is functionally equivalent. It should be noted that the cause of death in a coroner's report, and they are experts in what they do, is usually listed as damage caused by a bullet(s) or shot.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    * 'Shot', in this usage, means the shot from a shotgun shell.

    It's actually the fault of the gun lobby and their whores like cruz and abbott who make it incredibly easy for reckless drunks and mental patients like the guy in Louisville to get their hands on mass-killing machines...

    I asked the same question. It creates a disturbing view of some of the men who are for banning guns

    the goal is banning guns, not stopping mass murder

    20,000 laws later, tell us what regulations are we missing that will stop those who aren't stopped by the consequences of being convicted of mass murder

    ... “It’s a normal thing people do around here, especially on Fridays after work,” Arevalo said. “They get home and start drinking in their backyards and shooting out there.” ...

    Great state to raise a family, eh...............................

    ... “I tell my wife all the time, ‘Stay away from the neighbors. Don’t argue with them. You never know how they’re going to react,’” Arevalo said. “I tell her that because Texas is a state where you don’t know who has a gun and who is going to react that way.” ...

    So much freedumb in that sh*thole red state, eh........................................................

    Interesting, so @Buri actually was right for a change, the guy wasn’t American. Of course he wasn’t Honduran either so only partially right.

    neither is fentanyl or crack cocaine, yet that crap kills more Americans in a week than are slain by AR 15 rifle rounds in a year or years

    That's not fair because they're only lashing out at an unjust and racist society that made them this way..... You see it's not really their fault... It's obviously the guns fault and then if we have to go beyond that in the blame game we're going to blame society instead of the person that did it

    Because I'm not an anti gunner and I know a number of people who are using them for that. Psychologically of course, not literally.

    Fentanyl isn't made in people's basements. Crack cocaine is simply condensed from the powder form, not made in people's basements either.

    I appreciate the kind words. I do my best to post factual, substantiated information and I’m thrilled that’s not going completely unnoticed. Clearly I haven’t done well in being civil with those who’ve been civil towards me (as you have consistently been). Thanks for reminding me. :)

    Good. Lock his ass up, unless evidence is presented that makes it self defense.
