Discussion: Police: 1 Dead, 4 Hurt After Man Shoots Motorists In Tennessee

The NRA asks for a ‘moment of silence’ and to send your ‘thoughts & prayers’ that no guns were harmed, or if they were that they will be all right.
And the NRA wants you to remember than the only way to stop gun violence is more gun fights.

Wonder how long it will take some GOP nutbag to invoke ISIS or shreik about Obama and Hillary takin’ away “thear gunz”.

When Orlando happened I commented to a co-worker I hoped the perp didn’t have an Arabic/Muslim name, and sure as hell he did. I won’t predict it again, we’ll know soon enough. If he’s “Henry Wayne Harper” I’d be relieved.

“and the man was shot and wounded.” Taking odds he was NOT a black man…

And if that is his name, and he claims to be Christian, then the coverage of the shootings will be minimal–as opposed to the wall-to-wall, 24 hour, let’s resurrect Brian Williams kind of coverage we get when it is a person of Arab ancestry.

NRA: This is a minor problem that can easily be remedied via an infusion of more guns.

Guns everywhere and easily placed into the hands of everyone and anyone who wants one, complete with routine random massacres of innocent and unsuspecting people - possibly you and your family.

Clearly, a “well-regulated” militia. /s

There could have been real carnage had not the Good Guy With a Gun not shown up with his assault rifle and blazed away with hundreds of rounds at everything in sight.

Course he didn’t HIT anything but that’s not the point. Freedom is.

He pretty well nails it and it is funny and sad and angering all at once

Difficult to tell from the photo but the shell casings look like a neck-cased, rimless cartridge similar to certain semi-auto rifle cartridges like the ever-popular .223 which many assault-type rifles are chambered for. If this is indeed a real photo from the scene and not a stock photo, we’re looking at more of the same o’ same.

edit; This type of cartridge is also very popular with law enforcement, who in this case returned fire, so who knows.

Especially in that area of TN, in 3, 2, 1…

Was at the Mountain Home VA Hospital on Tuesday this week and at every single waiting area it was nothing but negative comments over HRC. Comments that seemed to be mostly Faux Noise talking points. Loads of praise for The Dumpster.

Sport hunting.

How potent is the “Legend of Davey Crockett” in those parts of Tennessee?
