    Gaskill (the officer) shot the assailant (Rollins).  It wasn't post-mortem.  Gaskill, when he confronted him he still had the rifle and was not stopped with a gun to his head like in the movies.  He was moving.  And we have no idea what he may have done had there been no person to stop him.  And further, this isn't the first time a shooter withered when confronted by a determined individual.

    LeAire Livingston was on her way to class on March 20 when she accidentally bumped into another student — 17-year-old Austin Rollins — as he pointed a handgun at himself.

    “When I looked up, I was getting ready to apologize, but I (saw) the gun to his head,” Livingston said at a school safety event Wednesday at the People’s Community Baptist Church in Silver Spring.

    “I didn’t know what to do, so I just stood there first for a little bit,” Livingston said. “But once I realized that this was actually happening, I turned around and I ran into a classroom.”

    Soon after, armed school resource officer Blaine Gaskill confronted Rollins and fired a round that hit the boy’s weapon at about the same time that Rollins shot himself. The teen was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

    OK, what - tell me specifically what would have prevented this atrocity?  Funny how you don't seemingly give a damn about breakdowns in existing gun laws....let's just add new ones so you feel better.  Breakdowns at the state and federal law enforcement levels for a crackpot that was reported dozens of times.  No.  Let's not look at that.  Let's also not look at an incident a matter of weeks later when yet another copy-cat killer tried to ply his craft in MD, and then when faced with armed resistance took his own life before he could even get started.  But yeah, I'm being disingenuous.   Instead, let's impact the rights of millions of law-abiding gun owners who haven't done a damn thing wrong because you are too myopic to look at options beyond bans and additional regulation that even the most die-hard leftist pundits agree would have done NOTHING to stop this.  

    Ok, I guess you are just clearly uninformed.  The shooting in Maryland was a kid that specifically wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend.  He shot her in the head and the bullet exited and hit another student.  Witnesses at the school said the shooter then put his gun to his head before encountering the resource officer.  All indications lead to it being a murder-suicide.  "Copy-cat killer?".  Nope.  "Good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun"? Nope. 

     

    Moving on, YES, let's look at breakdowns at the state and federal level.   WHO IS ARGUING AGAINST THAT?  That absolutely contributed to the MSD tragedy.  Amazingly, other factors (including the choice of weapon) led to 17 students dying that day Parkland.

    And the false dichotomy is back.  Welcome.  You are right.  There are NO other options to look at beyond banning, and doing nothing.  Not a one.  Please carry on.  

    Some form of GUN CONTROL is an option. You disingenuous hack. Sorry that your synapses aren't firing.

    Old?  Everyone that knows anything about firearms understands that you will not end mass shootings with gun control short of banning the amendment outright and mass gun confiscation.  So step peddling this silly, disingenuous bullshit. 

    This how it works?

    No fucking shit.  We are talking about having FEWER mass shootings. We are talking about wanting FEWER people to die.  Progress is not all or nothing.  But the gun-nut playbook is just that...if any person dies at the hand of a gun, then there is no point in gun control. It's fucking ridiculous.  Stop it.

    A broke, unemployed, 23 year old college dropout just made 8 bombs in Austin literally less than a week ago. They found the resources for him to make more.  But yeah, once we get all the guns it will be unicorns and leprechaun farts.  

    This playbook is so fucking old.   Listen up:  EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT YOU WILL NOT END ALL HOMICIDES WITH GUN CONTROL.   Stop peddling this silly, disingenuous bullshit. 

     

  6. As the other person with HG when we learned this craps strategy from "Uncle" Richie, it cracks me up that this info is still up on Horn message boards.  I'm pretty sure we met him around '99-'00.  Almost 20 years ago.  Holy shit.

    Hillary probably won't run. If she did, it wouldn't matter anyway. Democratic voters are done with her. She won't last in a 6-way primary.

    I want her to run just to see the Right lose their shit while Dem primary voters calmly kick her off the bus by Super Tuesday. 

    You have too much faith in the Democratic party.  Hillary needs to officially take her name off the list.

    Honestly, I believe it's the far lefts goal to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Don't care to shut the fuck up as you so eloquently  put it.

    The only exchange the lefty gun grabbers want is just that, "grab all the guns". "Kill the 2nd Amendment"

     

     

    Stock reply when you don't want have a meaningful conversation.

    It's fucking hilarious that libs have let a stupid high school kid become the leader of their gun grabbing movement.

    I thought he was an adult capable of leading policy decisions. Make up your mind. Imagine being so pathetic that you have to take cues from a guy that is too stupid to get into college.

    Must suck to learn your hero is such a big piece of shit. Has you questioning your desire to enter into a relationship with him.

    These are the responses about a teenager that wants fewer people to die from gun violence.

    Weird.  It isn't your common or garden megachurch.  First, it's a legit denomination.  Second, he has actual degrees in actual theology from actual schools.  Finally, it's only 14,000, less than a quarter of Second Baptist, or Osteen's Lakewood.

    You're shocked that actual theologians are con artists?
