Judging by Google, people are really curious about the mysterious "Way of the Mandalore." Here's what we discoveredâ€twitter.com/i/web/status/1…RH
TvNyc..Just so you know, you cannot have a felony of any kind on your record, and legally own any gun. When they did my background check, no big deal with a 2 week wait. But the checks they want to do now on law biding citizens ARE plumb stupid. And if you are looking into conceal and carry permits, you will be responsible, and you will complete a gun safety course.
Including bolt action rifles?
Blunt truth is we all go a little nuts at times, so what stops 1 relatively normal person from picking up his hand gun, during a dispute, when another similar person immediately heads for the glovebox & starts firing away!? This is Our problem, not just those we so conveniently lable "nuts"!!
I am curious so Will you Show Proof of that exact shooting occurred,,, Or is it Just your Opinion
Viking woman i agree with you completely, anyone could have a bad day.
Backround for guns shouldnt be only for felons, they should have mental tests and polygraphs. Come on buddy we have killers running around our streets everyday and we cant do anything about it... Heck they should examine everybodys mental state. No matter if u want a gun or not.
Lol @ vikingwoman, did all the rest of your inanimate objects survive? I loved that post the best. 🙂 and when im having a bad day i just come on here and blog. Guaranteed someone will make me smile lol!
Hey @ chrissy, always read your fun & insightful posts! My InOb's survived the day, barely! The racket....unbelievable!! 😉
Biden, would be proud, he used a shotgun!
"5 killed in Illinois village..." Village? Who wrote this story? There aren't "villages" in Illinois. We call them "towns". Was this journalism outsourced to a european?
Terror, tragedy & grief continues. No respite.
Gun violence in itself has now become a face of terror.
Stuff like this is going to continue to happen. Taking away guns is not going to prevent it what so ever. Criminals will always have guns, so why shouldn't we? it'll better protect ourselves from terrors such as these!
@Lucas, where did you read the gun was in the hands of a criminal? I'm reading he was just an average citizen, til he started shooting, that is!!
I do think that this phenomenon of average (not criminals) citizens going on a shooting spree is reason enough to limit access to guns.
i live in illinois. The problem is its hard to find help for people mentally ill. This state is so broke people are going crazy. People are having their utilities shut off losing their homes and jobs. There are no jobs. I see people going chaotic. If we make guns illegal the criminals will obtain the illegally and will leave us defensless.
