Too young for smokes and beer? Do what we did and get a fake ID or a legal age buddy. Like Ms. Turner and Beale.
The real problem, both in discussions of mass shootings and in discussions of gun control, is that too many people are too committed to a vision to allow mere facts to interfere with their beliefs, and the sense of superiority that those beliefs give them.

The guy shouldn’t have gone out with a gun.
He should have gone out with a gun and a COWBOY HAT. You need that Texas Swagger to git them varmints to skeedadle without too much gunfarr.
Poor tactical decision making on the homeowners part. Also poor legal decision. He was safe in a “barricaded” position with observation of the people who entered the fenced area. At that time all they had done was trespass. While annoying and a simple misdemeanor, it does not rise to the level of armed confrontation. That puts the homeowner in the position of starting the confrontation rather than reacting to it as well as possibly brandishing a weapon depending on how he had it on him at the start.
Coupla DRTs and a coupla “in the wind” parasites. Not a bad score for the good guys. Fight back, Citizens and remember; you have the right to not say one.damn.word! “I admit nothing. I was in fear for my life. Call my lawer.”
Those choir members just needed some candle substitutes and a fermented beverage for the Communion Service.
Was Mr. Sowell making reference to our own SPAPOS?
A repro Hawken percussion in a .50 has a place of Honor over wing wiper Brother’s mantle in the Black Hills of Dakota. Its Little Brother flintlock in .36 is helping defend the North Wall of Firebase Magnolia. Both true double triggers, accurate as all Hell and fun to shoot. The .50 does make a more Earth Shattering KA-BOOOM. Y’all get a chance, head out to Western Nebraska and visit the Museum of the Fur Trade near Chadron. Got one of the most extensive displays of “Plains Rifles” evah! You’ll be glad you did.
