GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[F.U.]

I don't think it makes a difference if the bloodthirsty American gun owner with a CC permit opens fire in a grocery store or a gay club, personally.

It's also concerning to me that other failed wanna-be cops (like Zimmerman) and unstable citizens are running around with permitted guns.

But, those are Florida's laws and it's up to the states and localities to determine who gets permitted to pack in public. There's no proposal to change that right now.

Why leave cops out of the mix? Just lump everyone together. That always has a way of turning out well. Why differentiate between terrorists, the mentally ill and those with badges who exercise poor judgement? Make all guns illegal so that only criminals have them.

I don't know if you didn't read the comment to which you responded, didn't comprehend it, or you're just tossing out inapplicable shit for some other reasons. But, your response doesn't even pertain to my comment.

I'll break it down for you.

Orlando Shooter Profile:
-- Recently been on the terrorist watch list, questioned three times by the FBI,
-- Been kicked out of the police academy for threatening behavior,
-- Had a documented history of violence and/or serious threats at every single school he ever attended and every job he ever held.

Still.......he (a) passed a background check and was hired to guard a Florida government courthouse, and (b) was given a CC permit to carry off duty in public.

While I don't oppose CC permits, it's concerning to me when someone with that kind of profile is hired to protect government spaces and given a permit to carry a gun in public spaces.

So, I consider it important that local, state, and federal authorities examine and learn from such process or judgment loopholes and/or gaps in inter-agency LE communication in order to minimize future mass shooting murders and gun violence at the hands of people with such profiles.

It's also a matter of concern to LE, the FBI, the victims' families, politicians on both sides, and to every rational person I've heard speak about the issue. However, the fact that you, Gunnar, don't find our concern warranted is not concerning to me.

P.s. I'll trust F.U.'s own claims about how he always keeps loaded guns on-hand and unlocked around the house (even when his little grandson was around)...so that he's always ready if a bad guy or big brother busts in on him. Your testament to the contrary, on his behalf, doesn't carry any weight.

Just as a side note I thought I should say that after our conversations here I reavaluated things. I now only keep 3 loaded firearms in my house and they are always within my and or my ols reach. My daily catty and my backup and my ols carry gun. I have downsized a lot.
