Tragic story.

house and call the popo. If they still try to bust in....take action.

This sounds like an unnecessary escalation on the shooters behalf.

and the brother (shooter) was coming from next door to protect her. It's possible that he encountered the intruder while en route, rather than deliberately escalating the confrontation.

Tragic and sad, without a doubt...

More guns!

Where do we need them?

Everywhere!

Try giving a straight answer and then you'll get an answer. And you guys wonder why you're not trusted with the 2A.
So, I'll try, do you support complete civilian disarmament?

The answer you get will depend on who the audience is...

... a Hispanic Republican?

Lets just say that the ones I knew tended to make the average teabagger look like Dwight Eisenhower when the subject of non-right wing Hispanics was raised...

Happy to be of help!

hmmmm....

And if you can descibe Vermont as "right-wing" with a straight face, you may find a second career as a poker player lucrative...

Asking what you want shouldn't be like asking a dodgy real estate salesperson about a house built on a landfill they're trying to sell me.

I understand why you lot like to keep schtum about your real positions- they're frankly not very popular these days- but it's
more than slightly ridiculous to pretend that they are not what they are.

for unrestricted armament of civilians, you just keep your radical beliefs secret.

Vermonters 21 and over can walk into a gun shop, go through a NICS check and walk out with a non-Class 3 firearm.
No waiting period, no vetting by politically suspect law enforcement, no bans on esthetic grounds of firearms that are rarely misused.
Seems to work, the Burlington MSA of 200K population or so has a lower violent crime rate than similar areas here in "gun-safe" Massachusetts.

There ya go. No "unrestricted armament of civilians". And since you are reluctant to answer the question asked of you, here's another:

What new restrictions on guns in the US do you support?

I'm asked if I support confiscating all guns from everyone. I decline to answer a rather stupid question. That is then cited as proof that I support confiscating all guns from everyone. You decline to answer my equivalently stupid question about unrestricted armament of civilians. I cite that as proof, using the prior standard, that you support unrestricted armament of civilians. You call bullshit. Well I agree, but it is a little late. The bullshit started way up thread.

The current gungeoneer coordinated talking point is that we are all crypto confiscators. We arent. You all should go back to coordinated dismay over the horror of "google dumps".

If it's so stupid why can't you answer it? What are you afraid of?

Unfortunately for them, those who share their goals tend to have occasional bouts of word vomit where they come right out and admit what they really want...

Very telling indeed.

...come back and bite you in the ass. Other posters here have not learned this yet, so get their "inconvenient" posts quoted back at them on a regular basis.

Since when does a lot of people having similar opinions mean that they have somehow actively colluded with one another to agree to have these opinions?

And in your own words, why are they necessary?

I'm more or less finished with the interrogation. Thanks though, it was fun.

But I wouldn't mind seeing some reasonable restrictions enforced and I certainly wouldn't mind learning that the NRA leadership had all dropped dead...it can be of natural causes....

trouble this year...

Fewer criminals!

/I suppose she could have just called the cops and they could have shot him. That would have been better right?

I would love to know if the dad and sister are reupublicans! and even more so if they support the NRA!

...and I'll be happy to take them to task on your behalf.

and the right to have a fucking gun over all else including the common safety and good...FUCK THE NRA!!!!

And if this turns out to be legitimate self-defense, will you still blame the NRA?

For making gun yogurt?

More news outlets here (CT) are confirming it was his son.

Sad

wrote a great song about a western folk tale of a sherriff tracking down and shooting a stagecoach robber, only to discover after de-masking robber it was his wife. Look up Dean Johanesen on google or facebook... incredible songwriter.

...don't rob stage coaches...

But seriously, I looked him up, good stuff there. Thanks!

They're so soft and cuddly, as per the Delicate Flowers in the DU Gun Lobby.

Sad but true.

... is this a cautionary tale about guns or a really good PSA for birth control?

Unfortunately this kid was too dumb for his own good.
