[Horse with no Name]

So the people who feared these idiots had good reason for that fear....

Dunnachie has been active in the Open Carry movement. Specifically, she was one of the gun activists in the open carry rallies in Target stores earlier this year. Fellow Open Carry activists have expressed both sadness and other emotions on Facebook.

And so another of America's many patriots goes from good person with a gun to bad person with a gun in a single moment. None of us, after so many repetitions of the same "American obsessed with guns and using those guns ends up murdering someone" news reports, are that surprised.

1. How gun culture-y. nt

[JanMichael]

2. She could had stabbed them with a fondue stick. Fondue sticks kill people not people fondue sticks.

Or some other mindless phrase of death worship.

I wish she had just shot herself. Dumbfucks.

[951-Riverside]

3. How do we know for sure she was a gun enthusiast and not a victim of a pervert husband?

For all we know her husband gave her guns to satisfy his own sick fetish.

Maybe she had enough of his and his adult daughter's sick perversions and was defending herself. I refuse to bash this woman until I know what led up to her doing this.



Does this look like the face of a gun nut or someone just playing along?

[onehandle]

4. Yeah, but wimmen like the gun.

Gun apologists say this all the time.

'Ah wimmen lak th' gun.'

[davidn3600]

5. I wonder if the genders were flipped in the story if you'd be so willing to withhold judgement?

According to the news, she no longer lived at that house. She moved out in October and filed for divorce.

She went to the house with a gun and shot and killed her husband and stepdaughter. Then drove herself to a mental hospital.

That doesn't sound like self-defense.

[Kalidurga]

7. She went to the house with a gun... Then... to a mental hospital.

It's too bad she got those two things in the wrong order.

[adieu]

19. The only wrong order is

She forgot to kill herself as well.

[enki23]

16. Maybe they were actually bodysnatchers. Bet all these naysayers didn't think of that either.

All sorts of possibly-possible scenarios in which she's still a glorious gun fucking hero.

[Takket]

17. How could I possibly answer that question with a photograph?

[frylock]

23. i'm going with gun nut

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. "Does this look like the face of a gun nut or someone just playing along?"

Depends on if she's trying to keep her brains from leaking out.

[bullwinkle428]

6. Fellow open-carry enthusiast on Facebook : "I knew her, I'm not that surprised."

[winterwar]

8. Yeah

Me: "I didn't know her, and I'm not that surprised."

[calimary]

9. Welcome to DU, winterwar!

Glad you're here! Stunning. But your point is well-taken. I'm seldom surprised by these stories anymore. Many of those "MY gun rights trump any-and-all of your rights" just seem to be little more than homicides waiting to happen.

[winterwar]

11. Agreed

The paranoia these gun nuts have runs their lives. They whip each other into a frenzy with their conspiracy bullshit and irrational fear of losing their precious guns. It doesn't take much to make them pull out those guns. Most are itching to use them on a real person. They will tell you with pride about how they hope an intruder/the government gives them a reason to stand their ground.

[StevePaulson]

14. Yep

Their trigger finger is justa itchin'. What bothers me the most is a few people I met where their "right" to possess a gun is far and away the thing they care about the most. Why are they so terrified of being unarmed? One has to wonder. Is it really that hard to live without a gun under your jacket, or stuffed down your pants, just waiting to fall out and go off.....

[calimary]

22. I've heard it myself.

Just makes you wonder what the hell is with these people. Are they really THAT anxious for somebody to try to knock the chip off their shoulder? THAT anxious to play Shoot-out at the OK Corral?

[LiberalElite]

33. Either that or High Noon nt

[sakabatou]

10. If he wasn't, how the hell did she get a gun?

[SoapBox]

12. The gun insanity continues.

Sick fucks.

[Kennah]

13. She's never murdered her husband before, so she gets a Do Over, right?

[postulater]

15. Would that be a Mulli-gun?

[PassingFair]

20. It's worth a shot! nt

[msanthrope]

25. DUZY! nt

[Takket]

18. If she had been a cop she could have gotten away with it

[99Forever]

21. Just another law abiding, responsible gun owner doing what they do.

FREEDUMBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hoyt]

26. Are the gun folks waiting for NRA, etc., approved responses?

[friendly_iconoclast]

27. We've long condemned OC Texas, which you knew before you posted that

This latest just confirms what we've been saying all along
Funny how you keep ...forgetting, shall we say, inconvenient posts:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=133717

Assholes meet astroturf

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172133670#post39

More than one poster (as well as yours truly) have already decried OCT's action for
being the assholish thing that it was.

HOWEVER

Since real life is not some Manichean game, OCT bringing the stupid does not in any
way make MDA authentically grassroots

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172133670#post42

You elide the fact that I have condemned the actions of OCT more than once...
in this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=146913

I guess you must think..." You need to read more and guess less

I've called out these crypto-fascist assholes more than once.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172146887#post8

I'm not in favor of how those OC morons acted...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172146887#post17

There's no way of knowing if any of them are really veterans, or who they say they are.

It looked to me like a handful of hot-headed name-calling assholes

[Hoyt]

28. But, you promote toting, etc. The perp here was one of those mythical responsible,

law-abiding gun owners.. I bet she was a concealed carry type, most of the time. You missed the point, again..

[friendly_iconoclast]

29. The only person here claiming she was responsible and law-abiding is you

[Hoyt]

30. You would have said she was right up till she shot soneone.

[friendly_iconoclast]

32. NEWSFLASH: *Everyone* is law-abiding, unless and until they break the law

It's a difficult concept to grasp, granted- one of the other gun control advocates
here at DU has expressed dismay that a little extrajudicial seizure wasn't used against her
prior to this

[Hoyt]

34. Not really. Anyone who flashes a gun and promotes open carry, has severe enough

character flaws to take their weapons away.

[hifiguy]

31. Whoda thunk it.

The ammosexuals are not the brainiest bunch around.
