With a touch of Chris Christie thown in.

Doesn't he?

Nicholas Dagostino, looking for a new woman to shoot.



Someone could get hurt, all right.



Man accused of shooting Katy mom has shot at other vehicles before, prosecutors say

. . .

That's when she realized she had been shot. The woman was hit by a single bullet through her upper arm. Doctors say it stopped millimeters from her heart.

. . .

The victim still has the bullet lodged in her chest. Doctors are expected to remove it in another few months.

In an interview with Eyewitness News, the young mother says she's in pain. Her 10-year-old daughter has to help her change bandages and put on deodorant.

That's probably because he's a lousey shot.

He has proven he's not fit to be back out on the street, although for sure, he probably will be, and soon.

No US Citizen ever acts like that.

I can't believe they set his bail at only $250,000 bail after he shot all those women!

Hopefully he won't make that.

He got $200,000 bail per charge, which makes $400,000 total.

Even at $400k, he could make bail if he has property.

He shot at and almost killed at least 7 women by his own admission.

Dude should not be out on the streets. He is a mass shooter and terrorist.

The part about only 'having female babies' would have put her away forever.

This is my generic response to gun threads where people are shot and killed by the dumb or criminal possession of guns. For the record, I grew up in the South and on military bases. I was taught about firearms as a child, and I grew up hunting, was a member of the NRA, and I still own guns. In the 70’s, I dropped out of the NRA because they become more radical and less interested in safety and training. Some personal experiences where people I know were involved in shootings caused me to realize that anyone could obtain and posses a gun no matter how illogical it was for them to have a gun. Also, easy access to more powerful guns, guns in the hands of children, and guns that weren’t secured are out of control in our society. As such, here’s what I now think ought to be the requirements to possess a gun. I’m not debating the legal language, I just think it’s the reasonable way to stop the shootings. Notice, none of this restricts the type of guns sold. This is aimed at the people who shoot others, because it’s clear that they should never have had a gun.

1.) Anyone in possession of a gun (whether they own it or not) should have a regularly renewed license. If you want to call it a permit, certificate, or something else that's fine.
2.) To get a license, you should have a background check, and be examined by a professional for emotional and mental stability appropriate for gun possession. It might be appropriate to require that examination to be accompanied by references from family, friends, employers, etc. This check is not to subject you to a mental health diagnosis, just check on your superficial and apparent gun-worthyness.
3.) To get the license, you should be required to take a safety course and pass a test appropriate to the type of gun you want to use.
4.) To get a license, you should be over 21. Under 21, you could only use a gun under direct supervision of a licensed person and after obtaining a learner’s license. Your license might be restricted if you have children or criminals or other unsafe people living in your home. (If you want to argue 18 or 25 or some other age, fine. 21 makes sense to me.)
5.) If you possess a gun, you would have to carry a liability insurance policy specifically for gun ownership - and likely you would have to provide proof of appropriate storage, security, and whatever statistical reasons that emerge that would drive the costs and ability to get insurance.
6.) You could not purchase a gun or ammunition without a license, and purchases would have a waiting period.
7.) If you possess a gun without a license, you go to jail, the gun is impounded, and a judge will have to let you go (just like a DUI).
8.) No one should carry an unsecured gun (except in a locked case, unloaded) when outside of home. Guns should be secure when transporting to a shooting event without demonstrating a special need. Their license should indicate training and special carry circumstances beyond recreational shooting (security guard, etc.). If you are carrying your gun while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you lose your gun and license.
9.) If you buy, sell, give away, or inherit a gun, your license information should be recorded.
10.) If you accidentally discharge your gun, commit a crime, get referred by a mental health professional, are served a restraining order, etc., you should lose your license and guns until reinstated by a serious relicensing process.

Most of you know that a license is no big deal. Besides a driver’s license you need a license to fish, operate a boat, or many other activities. I realize these differ by state, but that is not a reason to let anyone without a bit of sense pack a semiautomatic weapon in public, on the roads, and in schools. I think we need to make it much harder for some people to have guns.

If there is also gun control that's ok with me, but "gun control" does not prevent dangerous people from possession of guns.

I consider gun control laws that specify or restrict certain designs like "automatic, or handguns".
I consider gun control restrictions of magazines or certain types of ammunition.
I consider gun control point-of-sale databases of guns by serial number or similar identification.
I consider gun control allowing (not restricting) lawsuits based on perceived flaws or dangerous products.

You get the idea...my suggestions license the person without any database of guns or mention of a particular design. You might require special training to possess a 50 cal machine gun, but the license only prevents the unqualified from ANY weapon.

Gun designs will always evolve (like the 3D plastic guns). The idea is to prevent dangerous people from EASY ACCESS to purchase and possession of guns of any type.

If you also want to require gun control alongside people control (serious licensing), then I say, "go for it"! A combination of both would reduce gun deaths significantly.

The NRA has made "gun control" dirty words that people are afraid to utter, let alone admit to favoring. But gun control is just any measure that promotes gun safety, regardless of what you "consider" it to be, Sancho.

Your suggestion for licensing is definitely gun control, and I am all for it. If you want to call it people control, fine with me, if it will help us get such measures implemented.

..when in reality, their unfuckability is manifest in their behavior and attitudes.

I knew a guy that had an expression that he used often to describe women who didn't know their place. It's dropped out of the lexicon, thankfully. But I can still hear it!

"Bitch on wheels!"

Originally said of women drivers, because, you know, they shouldn't drive!

Like FIVE times! And he wasn’t in prison?

Is this a Texas thing?

and that their sole purpose "is to give birth to male children,"

Not much of a forward thinker for the perpetuation of the human race.

So he shot it. This man is obviously not right in the head.

Surely an all-American guy like this wouldn't commit acts of violence against women!

The only date he can get is with his right hand, but blames women instead of his despicable, neanderthal attitudes towards women. Ugh.

hears of this he will pardon him and give him a job with some title like "American women's affairs."

Attempted murder seems totally appropriate.

He was targeting women and was shooting to kill. The fact that he didn't was very fortunate for him and his victims.

But when you're looking at who makes mistakes when driving, I think that if you are looking for validation, you will see it.

If you see a bad driver, I think you notice and remember, if it's one of those you think as a group don't drive well. Blacks, women, whatever. If it's a white male, you don't notice his race or gender so much, and certainly don't remember it. You automatically chalk it up to the occasional mistake that all people make. You are inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. But if it's a black or a woman, you may think, "Oh...it's one of those. They can't drive worth a damn."
