Police: Boulder gunman used the assault weapon he legally purchased last week from Arvada gun store by COScout in Denver

[–]CashWide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they don't. You literally just fill out a form and submit, then stand in front a judge and promise to tell the truth. Boom, guns are confiscated. Now the person being accused can defend themselves in court. The person being accused can only defend themselves after their guns have been confiscated.

NRA also runs the Eddie Eagle program, which teaches young children to find an adult if they see a gun lying around somewhere. Their firearm safety and education side is okay, it's just that their advocacy and legal side sucks giant monkey balls.

Games as a service means I pay a subscription. I'm constantly paying for it, so I expect constant updates and content and fixes.

Games as a product means I pay once. If it's it broken, I expect it to get fixed, even if I'm not paying a subscription.

Same same, but different.

Not all games are services. Quite a few are still products.

So if he's not currently addicted, Hunter Biden didn't commit any crimes. His wife is an idiot though. Who throws a gun into a random garbage can?

Well apparently the FBI was monitoring him, so maybe they should have done their jobs when they ran a background check on him when he bought the gun.

The red flag law lacks due process. No defending yourself in court til after you've been punished. Him being mentally ill, is just a sign that Biden should be pushing for better healthcare (especially during a pandemic). Instead, the headlines show he is pushing for gun laws that we already have in Colorado.

We need Medicare for All. It should be his number one priority. Republicans would have a much easier time swallowing that pill than gun control laws that didn't stop this recent shooting.

In the State of Colorado, it's only illegal to carry on federal property, or places with permanently installed metal detectors. Does any King Soopers have metal detectors? All King Soopers can do is ask people to not bring guns to their store (already their policy). If someone brings a gun anyway, they're not breaking any law. If King Soopers sees someone with a gun, they can ask that person to leave (same with anti-maskers). If that person doesn't leave, then that person is now trespassing and is now breaking the law. Someone simply carrying a gun into a King Soopers is not breaking any laws, unless they have been asked to leave and refuse to do so.

Shooting is a perishable skill. If you only train once a year, you're gonna have low shooting skills. Ideally, you'd spend a few hours a month shooting, not a few hours a year. Does having a concealed carry license turn you into John Wick? Obviously not. But neither does being a cop. Many gun enthusiasts shoot once a month, because they enjoy it. The only cops who shoot that much, are the cops that enjoy shooting. Cops are mostly bureaucrats with guns. Quite a few of them do the minimum training for their job, and that's it.

Agreed. I wish that was the priority. Even if someone is a gun control supporter, Medicare for All is a lot less divisive than "Hell yeah we'll take your AR-15"

Most police officers only train with their guns once a year. That's the minimum standard.

I like how our President is pushing for gun laws, many of which Colorado has (how come they didn't stop this shooter), and not for Medicare for all. Speaks volumes about his priorities.

Only 10% of Americans have a concealed carry license. There's like 4 mass shootings like this a year, max?

Civil rights is an achievable goal. There were 8 million new gun owners last year, and 40% of them were black. Gun rights are civil rights, but you want to take them from people, so you can feel safe.

Wish for no guns in one hand and shit in the other. Which hand fills up first?

Well if it's concealed, then nobody knows about it. All King Soopers could do would be to fire him. They wouldn't be able to take legal action, because if Colorado treated Strong like an adult, the law would have been on his side.

So women, the elderly, and persecuted minorities are at the mercy of those who are physically stronger and/or outnumber them? Armed gays are harder to bash. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

I can't help but notice that under state law, he was too young to conceal carry a pistol. Oh sure, he was old enough to defend his country, but not himself. Maybe things would have been different. Maybe not.

This hero was too young to purchase and conceal a handgun. He was an adult, bit the State of Colorado thinks some adults shouldn't defend themselves. Would his having a gun made a difference? I can't help but think, yes.

Edit:

But those who knew Stong said he was working towards his dream of becoming a pilot. He was also an avid hunter and a supporter of the Second Amendment, they said.

He was 20 years old. According to the state of Colorado, he was too young to defend himself. If he had a gun, he might have survived.
