Exactly! It's like when your kitchen is on fire. Do you put out the fire with a fire extinguisher? No, of course not. The solution is clearly setting the other rooms in your house on fire. Libtards trying to take away your God given right to fire!

Fires need oxygen… more, bigger fires need more, bigger oxygen which means less oxygen for your kitchen fire… meaning the fire goes out!

Yeah, logic checks out on this one. This is the kind of forward-thinking that’s going to save America.

"Rifle used in the St. Louis school shooting had been taken from the gunman about a week before the attack, police say."

This is whacked out and defies logic.

shooting in Colorado Springs kills 5, injures 25.

Could have been much worse, similar to the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, but for the actions of a couple of patrons apparently.

Apparently the shooter was arrested in June for a bomb threat and kidnapping, when arrested they couldn't find any bombs just multiple weapons and ammo. He's awaiting trial for felony menacing and three counts of first degree kidnapping.

I'm sure there will be questions on why he was free and how he had an AR-15 rifle.

The charges against him were dropped...and the records were sealed. How long before we find out he was connected somehow to some local politician or police official?

Not far off:

Quote:
But social media posts under his mother’s name, Laura Voepel, describe former Republican California state assembly member Randy Voepel as his grandfather.

Some called for Randy Voepel’s expulsion from the state assembly after he compared the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol to the American Revolutionary War. Voepel lost his seat to a primary challenger in August.

We know what some politicians will be saying. Thoughts and prayers.

I busted someone doing the ol’ cut and paste condolences when our Sports Commissioner passed away this fall. What a piece of garbage.

Crazy story about the guy who stopped the shooter in the NY Times. An absolute hero. But also heroic was this part - a drag queen came to help him by stomping on the shooter with her high heels:

I think you meant to post this in the "Things that make me Happy" thread.

There is so much positivity to come out of that story, #### yeah Sir.

Nice to hear the shooter got the #### kicked out of him at least.

So an unarmed military veteran took down the shooter?

But ... but ... but ... but I thought the GOP and NRA said the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun, was a good guy with a gun?!

Does that mean that Mr. Ferro wasn't actually a hero, or have the GOP & NRA been lying to us?!

The GOP and NRA will probably seek charges against him for infringing on someone's right to bear arms.

Cops already got a good start by tackling him to the ground and holding him in a squad car for an hour while he begged to find out what happened to his family.
