So the first violence is by the people preparing for violence, not the protesters. Myself, Iā€™m shocked.

So can the NRA explain to me how this works, Was this a good person with a gun stopping a bad person with a gun or the other way around?

Far as Iā€™m concerned, if the BFā€™s story is true, the best possible outcome occurred. If somebody was going to be killed, best that it was the person stupid enough to wave a loaded gun around in a car, of all places, and, it sounds like, was just itching for a chance to use it on somebody else.

Anyone who treats a firearm as a joke has no business being a police offer. Thatā€™s the type of antic you would expect from a stoned high school kid.

Did you READ the article? It wasnā€™t a police officer who shot herself.

I had to do a double take too ā€¦ almost made the same mistake.

Even if you allow the guns nuts that guns donā€™t kill people, people kill people.
I would say stupid people with guns kill MORE people and todayā€™s NRA is just making sure more guns end up in the hands of stupid people.

Letā€™s not be too quick to believe the BFā€™s account of the incident. I think he may have just invented the newest version of ā€˜ā€¦the Black guy did itā€™.

See guns can solve all your problems. Because she got a gun, now she doesnā€™t have to worry about unrest in Ferguson. Ever again.

Smells like a new twist on a white murderer blaming his crime on black people.

I guess we can chalk this up as the first death in the Ferguson (pre) re-riots.
