Title: NY Gunman left note declaring plan to kill people...used stolen guns
Post by: tonymctones on December 25, 2012, 12:42:43 PM
You know from ppls houses like the ones that libtard news paper posted...

"As a convicted felon, Spengler could not legally own guns, but The New York Times reported there had been recent gun thefts in the county, citing local authorities."

"The gunman, William Spengler, 62, shot and killed himself in an ensuing gunfight with police. He had spent 17 years in prison for beating his 92-year-old grandmother to death with a hammer in 1981, authorities said."

"I still have to get ready to see how much of the neighborhood I can burn down and do what I like doing best, killing people," Pickering read from the gunman's statement.

yea, guns are the problem ::)

He murdered his sister as well.   He should never have been out on parole.

She should have been educated on whether or not he was taking his medications. That is the source of the problem.

Correction: they may have been alive. Mad people have no qualms about devising ways of killing in the absence of guns. There's many "options" available, and that's just in the "cleaning" aisle of the grocery store... there's no need to even bother with the hardware store that's a couple of blocks further down.

Guns make it easier to kill people especially in those "heath-of- the-moment" situations ( not referring to this case).

More guns available= more deaths. Its that simple.

I wish you would just come out and say that the death people is worth it so you can have your guns. That would be called honesty and people respect that.

Your ridicilous argumentation to convince yourself that your choices is the only right ones is sad.

Own your opinions and actions.

If you think the right to bear guns outweighs the death people, just own it. Its your opinion and nobody can say its wrong. Its a choice and thats your right.

Uh, what? Have you looked at a globe? Do so again. The UK and Japan are tiny compared to the US, which actually has borders attached to other land masses. Oh, and they are ISLANDS, surrounded on all sides by large bodies of water.

Small land masses surrounded by water, compared to a GIANT land mass not separated from their neighbors (one of which has uber strict gun laws, but still manages to have daily slaughters involving illegal firearms that make ours look like childs play).

Makes it much, much easier to smuggle things in, like, oh, I don't know, drugs, illegal aliens, and guns,.  ::)

You could be correct on the majority of shooting's not being gang related - but they are generally done by the same types of people in the same areas.
Anyway the point was that Whork was asking who our resident scumbag types were (you know, the ones responsible for the largest portion of crimes in the US), and I answered.

FYI percentage wise, white guys killing their wives isn't even a blip on the radar. Come the fuck on dude.

Shots fired at delivery driver for pizza that was too small (MINNEAPOLIS)
fox 9 ^ | 12-26-12 | Mike Durkin
Posted on December 27, 2012, 11:18:00 AM EST by TurboZamboni

A Chicago man has been charged with assault after allegedly shooting at a Minneapolis pizza delivery driver for delivering a pizza that was too small. Demetrius Patterson, 26, is charged with one count of second-degree assault for the Dec. 21 incident. According to the criminal complaint, Patterson answered the door at his girlfriend's apartment on the 2100 block of Russell Ave. N. and began arguing with the 45-year-old driver. The victim told police he didn't want to argue, so he walked toward his car. As the driver walked away with the pizza, Patterson stepped out of the house and fired five to six gunshots. The deliveryman was able to drive-off and was not injured.

Guns are a tool. Like most tools, they can be used in ways that are right and ways that are wrong. The tools have no say in the matter and are not inherently bad or good. They just are. What people – especially crazy people – use the tools for is a whole 'mother matter.
 
Are you, perhaps, familiar with Prohibition? With prohibition a group of nutjobs that belogned to the Temperance Movement advocated that if only alcohol – a vile and tempting mistress which seduced men against their will wasn't available then things would just be wonderful and the curse of booze (also awkward dancing and drunken sex with women who are ugly) would be listen and our society would no longer be burdened by it...

And you must know how wonderfully that turned our.

Interesting point, but what about this scenario (I know it's happened in America before)

A man gets pissed at his ex wife for child support, custody, alimony, etc. He really hates the wife's entire family for screwing him over and decides, in the heat of the moment to kill them all.

Now, the members of the family are not all in the same house, but at different houses around town, so he will have to drive different places to kill them. Would setting them on fire be simply another tool in his murder bag (if you will) at this point? Or doesn't a gun make it much easie for him to do this?

I imagine it would be difficult to get a person to stand still and set them on fire, so it would probably take some time to accomplish it. Maybe you would have to beat them into submission or tie them up. Anyway, by the time, let's say, the first two have been set on fire, wouldn't the others have time to be alerted and take precautionary measures?

In this instance, is fire an equal tool to the gun? Or does the gun offer advantages in the method of killing?

So the solution is for the United States to return to the stone age. Swords, clubs, knives and 2x4's will be the preferred choice of murderers.

Oh and also, don't forget incendiary devices such as molotov cocktails-- TNT, and explosives that can be made with household items.

The 911 hijackers had boxcutters. How much death, murder and mayhem was accomplished by a handful of savages without a gun?

How about mass poisonings?

The possibilities are endless.


To my liberal brethren who think taking legal guns away from law abiding citizens is a good idea-- How would that curb the criminal gun violence with illegal firearms, the overwhelming number of black on black homicides (which make up the lion share of gun deaths in America) or somehow make the general public safer?

Now, the members of the family are not all in the same house, but at different houses around town, so he will have to drive different places to kill them. Would setting them on fire be simply another tool in his murder bag (if you will) at this point? Or doesn't a gun make it much easie for him to do this?

I imagine it would be difficult to get a person to stand still and set them on fire, so it would probably take some time to accomplish it. Maybe you would have to beat them into submission or tie them up. Anyway, by the time, let's say, the first two have been set on fire, wouldn't the others have time to be alerted and take precautionary measures?

In this instance, is fire an equal tool to the gun? Or does the gun offer advantages in the method of killing?

Driving around town killing isn't done "in the heat of the moment". It takes a while. Depending on the city one lives in, it may even take quite a while.

I don't think anyone disputes that having a gun can facilitate killing, but the argument that "more people are shot in households with guns than households without guns" is just plain silly.

The person the you describe, who after a fight with his wife goes driving around town decimating her entire family is unhinged. He's crazy and crazy people won't be stopped by laws anymore than criminals will be.

What's worse is that we keep trying to structure our society around the lowest commom denominator: the stupid people, the crazy people and so on. We do this at the expense of those who are neither stupid nor crazy. And that is just wrong.

I've heard this before too though I haven't seen any stats though it makes perfect sense that houses with guns are more likely to have a shooting incident (injury or death) than houses without guns

Of course, but whether it makes sense or not is irrelevant: it's still a silly argument in the same way that the argument "someone who doesn't drive is less likely to get a ticket for speeding than someone who does."

A male suspect was shot and killed by the person he was trying to rob, Miami Gardens Police said.

The suspect was attempting to rob the victim and shot him at least one time, Miami Gardens Police Capt. Ralph Suarez said.

“The victim went to the ground but was able to retrieve his own weapon and shot the offender several times,” Suarez said. “The offender died at the scene,” outside the Rainbow shop at NW 19925 NW 2nd Ave., he said.

I guess we will all die from old age eventually so why not legalize murder?
We are all gonna die anyway, right?
