If you think that MSNBC is bad, you should see some of my Facebook post from preachers. In my opinion, some of them are setting their parishioners up for failure. No one, not even the parson can tell me how to protect mi familia.

Won't be an issue for me. Since the economy got bad I've had to barter off every gun that I had just to keep food on the table and pay tuition. I don't even have a receipt for the beans that I got in return.

I thought the nut jobs were told this in another thread. I'm certain that somewhere in the dark recesses of their minds, one of the better known assassins since McVay thought that he was a patriot and was going to be the father of a new revolution. In reality, he will only be dead.

Same here. I was planning to say October.

I know, but I read an article his morning where they were whining about Glocks and how they are used by law enforcement, FBI and the military because of how deadly and accurate they are. They also cried about how the shooters at most of the massacres used Glocks because of the soft trigger and how easy it is to reload. If this thing happens they may try to ban all semi-autos. I'm a simple man. If there are two things that I need it's macaroni and Glocks.

Yeah, I'll probably pick up one more G30SF just to cover all of my bases.

I'm certain that I'll be getting one. Now, only if I can find that darned bucket of unicorn tears.

I didn't want to laugh, but that sure was funny.

I agree. It has to be extremely difficult.

Oh yeah! Too funny! For some reason I was expecting to see a cat in there somewhere.

I don't want the media silenced. I figure that it's my job the sift thru the B.S. which is almost all of the news these days.

I say be weary of mental health diagnosis. My kids spent one year in public school when they were young. With the help of my mother in law (retired teacher with her masters degree) my kids were well prepared when they began school. The work was too easy and when my kids were not challenged academically they wanted to play. Long story short they wanted my twins to get evaluated. My wife and I evaluated the public school system and decided that we would bite the bullet and pay for private school. Today my babies are juniors with exceptional grades and zero behavioral or discipline issues. If you suspect that there is a problem, by all means please get your baby some help. Don't let a lazy teacher or impatient relative talk you into needlessly putting your kids on meds.

I had to laugh when I read the story this morning. It just goes to show what politicians think about the general public. They know that the majority of Americans are stupid and will believe this stunt.

I'm so tired of hearing my associates say that there are too many guns. I guess that they are expecting Batman to save them when they get in a jam. Even my baby girl said "daddy the gun can't do anything by itself".

You are preaching to the choir my friend.

I'll show my ingrained paranoia. I can't imagine going anywhere without a gun. I think the people who do it (especially in Memphis) are the crazy ones.

Wharton is a slime ball, but all I've heard him say is that he wants to get guns out of the hands of the "wrong people". In his press conference yesterday he said " there are no constitutional protections to guard illegal activity" and "nobody has a Second Amendment right to load up and kill a police officer". Emotional statements, but nothing about taking guns from law abiding citizens yet! Wharton, like most of the crazy citizens of Memphis is anti-gun, but all I've heard him speak about is stopping illegal gun activity in Memphis, which is a good thing. I also agree that this was not the correct platform to put his feelings about guns on display.

I wish that the solution was as easy as blaming a persons bad behavior on bad parenting. I'm certain that TGO has some good members who are/were great parents and one of their kids still turned out to be a douche. I can understand the mental illness angle, but anything else is just a cop out for bad decision making.

Any abnormal environment can desensitize a kid to violence. I fortunately survived the streets of Memphis as a kid. I saw some things that would make combat veterans cry. I also know several others that despite their insensitivity to violence still became productive citizens with no desire to destroy the lives of other human beings. If we are going to give a pass for video games, we must be prepared to give a pass for the fatherless, the neglected and the misunderstood when they break societies laws.

I guess that my kid is the exception. He is an avid gamer, honor roll student, on the schools honor board, exceptional SAT/ACT scores, tutors, mannerable, shoots and plays sports. Guess that that he is too busy to plan assasinations. The video game excuse is another cop out.

I agree. Would we be making excuses for his behavior if he looked like the big scary football player Tryvon Martin?

I somewhat agree with this. Then, you have to wonder why people have turned their backs on God. I say it's because the people who claim to be followers of Christ are really bad examples of his teachings. If everyone who claims to be Christian behaves like heartless buttholes, one may ask, why bother? I understand that your relationship with Jesus is an individual relationship and that it's your choice to accept Christ. I base the opinion above on conversations and observations. Jesus freak on Sunday. Judge, jury and executioner Monday thru Saturday.

This is becoming the norm. The new crazies that have joined since the election are co-signing with the hand full of old crazies and everyday you have a new conspiracy. If you say this crap everyday, one day you may be right.

Yep, you can read their post here on a daily basis.

Was he just another ignorant young thug that wanted to get attention for hurting others?
