3 dead after school shooting in California, shooter stopped by deputies

a reply to: jacquesdarippa

Yeah your right I am on an anonymous forum and lying to complete strangers who I probably will never meet.

Obviously.

Like I said keep your guns and live in fear. Mine doesn't make me feel any safer or braver than before one. If it make you those, than that is just sad.

I'm afraid of gun owners like you claim to be, that's about it. Woefully untrained, woefully uneducated, and apparently incapable of even the most basic of maintenance. You and your "gun" are far more of a danger to yourself, everybody in your household, and the public at large, than the overwhelming majority of responsible gun owners.

Because you are, besides full of it, completely irresponsible with your "gun."

It still is a useless tool to me.

Alright then.

Tell us what it is.

Brand,caliber,type.

A small black one. Hold i'll go check. Bought from brother in law.

Your brother in law is irresponsible as # selling a gun to someone who doesn't know a damn thing about guns or gun laws.

That's it! I knew I'd seen something like that. I'll bet it's really bad@ss.

At any rate, I can sympathize with the poster in question in never having felt any particular fear of all the boogeymen although I can't say I've gone out and spent money on one like he or she has.

However, if I feel any fear of anyone in this scenario, it's people like the poster in question. No, I don't have a gun, but I am aware that someday I might want or need one for some reason, and should that day come, I want to have the right to purchase one to fill that need.

People like the poster in question are dead serious when they say I ought not ever have that chance, and so if I ever get badgered into having to buy a gun, it won't be my family who does it, but someone like that particular poster moving to try to keep me from having one because they don't think it's good for me.

Then, I'd be buying it because I should be able to and not because I really want to or need to.

Did he do a background check before selling to you?

If they live in California there was a mandatory waiting period.

Thanks for the update.

After reading that, here's something that really sticks out to me: If the shooter was a "known felon," and his neighbor says that he had "been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines," then why in the HELL didn't someone call the police and say, "Hey, police, there's a known felon over here shooting off hundreds of rounds!"

That would have had his ass locked up from illegal possession of a firearm, at the least, and probably illegally firing off rounds where he did. This could have prevented this attack, but instead, everyone in the neighborhood seemingly turned the other cheek.

Come on--if I know that someone is shooting a firearm in my neighborhood once, let alone hundreds of rounds, I'm calling the police. I have too much at stake with my family to let stray bullets from careless people injure or kill one of them.

Why these people didn't call the police/sheriff is beyond me.

The reports I heard said the neighbor had indeed complained to local police about him shooting. I'll see if I can find a source.

Do we know anything about the ethnicity? That might tell us something. We know that the San Bernardino shooters were engaged in strange activity, but their neighbors didn't call them on it because they didn't want to look racist.

I'm not at all implying the shooters were Muslim, but if they were some ethnicity other than white, that might answer a question or two.

The 4th one. Whatya know there is dust on it.

The fact that we don't know anything yet could be a sign. If he was a white guy odds are his picture would be all over the news already.

Didn't read the replies from gun owners but let me guess it goes something like this "thoughts and prayers but no new laws"

They really need to make having a gun extremely unattractive to criminals like caught with gun an automatic 5 years, commit a crime with gun 20 to life. Convict those people with same crime who sell to people with mental illness.

To buy a gun, it should be required that you pass a mental evaluation or that you do not have people in your life who has a mental illness. Check your past and make sure you have no history of violence.

Wholeheartedly agree with the mandatory sentencing. Unfortunately we will have to get all the SJW Judges off the bench first, the ones who like to continually legislate from the bench instead of following actual established law...especially in California and the 9th District, and all along the west coast...

Like jadedANDcynical said. This is SENSATIONALIZED news. This is NOT a school shooting. It's a domestic violence NUTJOB who spilled into the neighborhood.

Some criminal moron goes and shoots people up, because he's deranged. Does not make it terrorism or a school shooting. He's a disgusting criminal loser.

Wish the news would stick to the facts.

These are the kind of laws we need.

You reuse this quite often. Despite the fact that it has been explained to you that in the US we have a RIGHT to bear arms and Japan does not.

Yet Japan has a higher suicide rate than gun-nut USA. How do all those people off themselves? We all know if you take the guns away, there's no other way for people to kill themselves or anyone else right?

That's cool and all, but Japan explicitly bars citizens from owning firearms except in a very few cases.

So...they have basically the exact opposite of the 2nd Amendment.

Maybe if Japan allowed guns they would have never had that sarin attack

Out of curiosity, how many of the restrictions and legal hurdles did you go through in your "let's be like Japan" graphic to get your gun?
