Post #40: "Gun nut killed at home with family gun" is not really news, is it? We didn't kill her. That gun nut's husband did.
She picked him. She bought into his violence and his reliance on guns.
Blame yourself. Blame people like you.
Post #45: She embraced a lifestyle that glorifies guns and thinks they're the solution to conflicts. SHE wore a gun to her child's soccer practice.
SHE was a gun advocate.
SHE evidenced the mindset of one who thinks a gun is a good solution to conflict.
LIVE BY THE GUN, DIE BY THE GUN.
Post #55: It's not name calling, so stop pretending you're a victim. Edited on Thu Oct-08-09 12:33 PM by TexasObserver See, you are so afraid of your shadow that you mischaracterize my comments. I didn't call you any names, but because you frighten so easily, you accuse me of doing so.
Learn the difference between someone calling you names and someone accurately describing your responses.
You like to pretend the issue is whether some imaginary victim is going to shoot the bad guy, if only the imaginary victim had a gun. In the case of the dead gun toting mother, she had a gun. She was trained. She knew how to use it. But she's still dead, because the thing that killed was the idiocy between her own ears, and the idiocy between her gun toting husband's ears.
Owing a gun increases the odds that you or a family member will die from a gun. That's a simple fact that even you should be able to understand.
This isn't about gun rights. This is about the fact that many who are drawn to guns are emotionally or mentally incapable of handling them smartly. Women who are drawn to gun loving losers often live to regret it. They aren't saved by a gun.
Post #74: No, it's nothing like that. Not even remotely. Even by DU standards, that's a ridiculous stretch you've made in the interest of shoring up your weak ass argument.
You also fail to see that it is the choice she made to adhere to a gun toting Neanderthal which sealed her doom. She was proud to be a gun toting mother. She loved the intimidation of wearing one.
LIVE BY THE GUN, DIE BY THE GUN.
Leave strippers out of it. They make an honorable living.
Post #87: Funny how you completely mischaracterize the assessments of her. As for this woman, yes, she deserved to live. But don't kid yourself. She chose for her partner the man who killed her. He wasn't even a real cop. He was a wannabe, like those guys who like to carry guns and think they're Walker Texas Ranger, instead of Barney Fife.
This woman wore a gun to a kid's soccer game. That makes her dangerous, both to herself and others. She was brazen. She wanted to shock. I will not lament the passing of any such persons.
Her husband killed her, and then had the decency to kill himself. Now maybe their kids can grow up in a more normal family and not end up as messed up as their dead parents.
Post #119: It isn't bigotry to lament the bad choices troubled people make. Edited on Fri Oct-09-09 02:49 PM by TexasObserver A woman came into the public eye for her wearing a pistol as a sidearm to her child's soccer game. That is conduct that is indicative of a person with serious emotional issues. It speaks to her need for attention, for her need to communicate to others "I can shoot you if I want to," and a need to make herself the focus of attention at her child's game. Given the atmosphere at such games, anyone with a gun is a concern, unless they are present in an official capacity for law enforcement.
She married a man who was on the fringe of law enforcement, one of those lower level guys who NEEDS it more to shore him up than most real cops.
She chose the man who killed her. She bought into the notion that guns make people safe. She died because of those two things.
It isn't bigotry to point out these facts and to call it what it is: a tragedy made possible by bad choices in life.
You simply want this to be about gun rights, but it's really about people who buy into the "guns will save me" mentality
You have consistantly ridiculed a persons' personal, lawful, ethical choices. You have insinuated that she was an unstable, mentally ill person. You have implied that she was endangering her children. You have suggested that she was a violent braggart, ready to kill without reason. You have frankly celebrated that you believe she got what she deserved. You have not evinced an instant of sympathy for a victim of a crime. You display all the qualities of a bigot. Either embrace it or refute it, I care not. At this point I will not engage you further. Good day to you.
