Responsible FL Gun Owner Shoots & Kills AAA Worker

Another problem resolved by a loaded firearm. Is there ANYTHING they can't fix?

Clearly it's the fault of the AAA, for not getting a worker there quicker. I'm sure this guy's defense attorney will state his case eloquently.

Just Don't Blame The Gun!!

1. Gotta Keep Those 2nd Amendment Rights

Fabian Reyes, who knew Esquivel, said he’s seen this behavior from him before. He said that the accused shooter previously threatened his life in October 2015 during a conversation over money that was owed.

Reyes said that Esquivel went so far as to pistol whip him twice, including once in the head. He told 7News that he knew Esquivel was going to kill someone one way or another because “he is very crazy.”


I'm sure glad the NRA protected his 2nd Amendment rights, and even with prior incidents, he was allowed to still own a weapon. Thank You to the NRA and ALL it's members.

He used to be a Navy Seal, so that obviously makes him a fine, upstanding human, worthy of owning lots of guns.

5. As a whole, the human race is too stupid and irresponsible to be trusted with weapons of any kind.

Just another reason why we're going extinct.

7. What is really sad, besides the young man's murder, is that gunners will simply say the shooter

is an aberration and such murders are just the price we must pay so they can settle disputes with a gun, fill up a few gun safes or a large closet with lethal weapons, and strap a gun or two on to walk down the street.

Assuming the shooter is telling the truth about his history, here is another example of an x-military individual with too many damn guns, too much hatred, and gun organizations and owners who tend to poo poo these shootings.

Heck, George Zimmerman's murdering Trayvon Martin is actually counted as a Defensive Gun Use which gunners, the NRA, and similar organizations use to rationalize the arming up of America and their sick addiction to lethal weapons. What a load.

Sounds consistent with the angry RW'ers here too; lashing out at everyone for calling them stupid for having elected a buffoon.
