1. Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go with a gun. nt

[Shamash]

7. Unless of course, you don't

Triple knife murder suspect hangs himself after 3-day manhunt.

[Judi Lynn]

34. You need to be prepared for what's on "the other side," too. n/t

[DawgHouse]

2. This is terrible.

Condolences to the families of the victims.

[reddread]

4. yes

that late at night I can only assume this was an employee.

[dembotoz]

12. 24hr Walmart?

[snooper2]

15. or some drunk people who you usually see after midnight there

I can only assume

[reddread]

16. there is no other kind in Grand Forks

never mind Wal Mart or the time of day

[cynzke]

3. They were just EXERCISING their...

2nd. amendment rights ON EACH OTHER. Apparently, it turns out, someone had more rights than the rest!

[DawgHouse]

6. What are you talking about?

Do you have more information than the article provided? I don't see anything that would indicate people shooting at each other.

[Shamash]

9. Best as I can tell

from the most recent news reports, there was only one shooter and the shooter was one of the dead. So at this moment it looks like a murder-suicide. In addition, Grand Air Force base says a local airman was one of the people killed or injured, but not whether this individual was the shooter or a victim.

5. Two more Americans finding freedom and liberty at the end of the barrel of one of 300 million guns.

The world looks at American civilian gun violence and carnage with shock.

Americans killed by ISIS: 4

Americans killed by the NRA: 30000. Per year.

[GGJohn]

8. The NRA is killing people?

Link please.
BTW, 2/3 of those deaths are suicides, better mental heath care would alleviate a huge number of those suicides.

[Shamash]

10. Hush! How do you expect Fred to distort a issue if you keep demanding facts? n/t

[GGJohn]

11. I know, those pesky facts always ruin a good rant. eom.

[840high]

24. Unfortunately, Fred always finds a way.

[shraby]

13. Those are still death by the mis-use of guns.

[mac56]

14. Hush! Don't let facts get in the way of 2A defensiveness.

[LanternWaste]

18. Shame the NRA was so adamantly opposed to the CDC doing research into the health and safety

Shame the NRA was so adamantly opposed to the CDC doing research into the health and safety issue they pressured the politicians in their pockets to prevent funding for it.

Yes, yes... the NRA is very concerned about suicides, mental health and safety issues.

[GGJohn]

38. Except that's not true, as has been pointed out many, many times here.

What the NRA opposed was the CDC using politicized, bias sources to push a political point, they were never banned from doing neutral based studies.

[Skittles]

36. better mental health care might cure gun humping

[GGJohn]

39. Better mental health would prevent untold number of suicides,

no matter the means used.

[Skittles]

40. AND perhaps help with gun humping mentality

[GGJohn]

42. I have no idea what a gun humping mentality is. eom.

[Skittles]

43. THAT we agree on

[GGJohn]

44. Ummmm? Ok.

Glad we could agree.
Have a pleasant evening.

[samsingh]

26. u r right

[Lizzie Poppet]

29. "killed by the NRA"

[Fred Sanders]

31. Is the photo of a person killed by the NRA's defence of portable WMD's?

[Lizzie Poppet]

32. Nope.

It's of a person who recognizes nonsensical hyperbole when she hears it.

Don't get me wrong: the NRA is as full of shit as a portapotty at the end of a week-long music festival. But attribution of primary responsibility for firearms crimes to anyone other than the person committing those crimes is fatuous.

[Fred Sanders]

33. "Fatuous" would be a description more apt for your picture reply than my post, with respect.

[Lizzie Poppet]

37. Then we disagree.

*shrug*

It's nice that we have the ability (and a venue) to do so in a reasonably civil manner.

[beevul]

30. I keep asking myself...

What kind of mental gymnastics are required, to take 20,000 deaths in which the people who died chose to end their own lives, and lay responsibility at the feet of...well anyone else, other than those making that choice.


Tell me fred, when someone takes a long drive in a short garage, whos fault is it?

The garage manufacturer/builder?

The auto maker?

Triple A?


Dial down the stupid, please.

17. update USAF member involved!

[Skittles]

41. and that mitigates the gun humping aspect......how?

and no, I don't need my own fucking room

[SoapBox]

19. The solution...according to the NRA, Pukes, Baggers, Gun Nutters...

More guns.

[Shamash]

22. You're entirely right

But certain DU'ers insist on making any LBN that involves a gun their personal soapbox to rant from. See the very first comment for an example (he's had LBN stories locked for just that reason). And this of course brings out opposition views (mea culpa).

I've been checking up on this story every hour or so via news.google, but have not seen anything new in a while. If you find updates, more information would certainly be better than issue-based sniping. Consider me chastised.

23. USAF base guy went in there, it appears

puts things in a different than usual light.

[Eleanors38]

27. Be careful of the sucker plays. There are varying standards when it comes to gunzszszszs...

and some get a chill when they can get a "hide."

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Dragging out a poster's previous locked post to prove he's not credible is dirty pool, doesn't fit in an LBN thread. It's a personal attack, holding the poster up to ridicule for his opinion.

21. USAF guy goes off the rails

serious stuff.

[ileus]

25. Stuff like this makes me wonder if the LCP is enough.

[FarPoint]

28. Did the cops shoot the customers like they did at the Ohio Walmart?

John Crawford was a Walmart shopper gunned down instantly upon arrival of cops. He had a toy gun, open store shelf item while talking on his cell phone.
