NRA Talking Points™ spewing gun fetishist defends his wife from being beaten with a club

[sylvi]

BETHEL PARK, Pa. (AP) — Police in western Pennsylvania say a man was shot to death after reportedly brandishing a wooden club in an attack on the owners of a Pittsburgh-area music store.

Police Chief John Mackey told reporters that the 32-year-old man entered Armen's House of Music in Bethel Park shortly before noon Saturday.

The man left but returned a few minutes later carrying the club, which police said he used to strike the wife of the store owner.

Mackey said he then attacked the owner, and the two struggled briefly before the owner shot and killed the attacker.

Another rude toter terrorizing society with his WMD.

[Schema Thing]

1. Was the attacker killed with one of the first few bullets the homeowner fired...

or the thirtieth bullet in his massive manly clip (or magazine; whichever verbage is making gun nuts happy today)?



Or did he finish him off with a hand grenade?

[gejohnston]

3. 13 is within the standard capacity of some pistols

if he used a hand grenade at that range, all three would have been gone.

4. And that matters, why?

Are you here to disrupt or debate?
If it's to debate, then let's without the insults. OK?

[Schema Thing]

7. It matters because it because almost no one, despite gun-nuts trying to make it look so,

almost no one has suggested doing away with the right to bear arms in America - only that we put reasonable limits on said rights.


So everytime one of you gun nuts acts as if huge swaths of the political spectrum don't want you to be able to protect yourself or your family with a gun - you are engaging in obfuscation and doing real damage to the cause of recalibrating our gun laws away from "low cost - outrageously easy access to guns" and towards "responsible-gun-ownership-only".

Ya'll should stop doing that because people are dying every day because of said ridiculously easy access to guns.

8. how do you define reasonable?

there is a bill in California that defines all semi aut rifles that uses a detachable box magazine as an "assault weapon", including these used by the Boy Scouts and other target shooters.

That is hardly reasonable. But then, few gun control advocates know anything on the subject. IMO, current laws are reasonable, many of the proposals lately simply are not once you read past the first two paragraphs.

[Straw Man]

10. Depends on where you live.

IMO, current laws are reasonable, many of the proposals lately simply are not once you read past the first two paragraphs.

Current laws in NY State are not reasonable, IMO. I wish someone would attempt to explain the provision of our new SAFE Act by which I can legally purchase and possess a ten-round magazine but can only load seven rounds in it, even in my own home -- unless I'm on a shooting range. I don't know which assumption is more ridiculous: the notion that target practice is more important than self-defense or the notion that anyone with bad intentions will ever possibly abide by that ludicrous limitation.

[Straw Man]

9. How much is enough?

It matters because it because almost no one, despite gun-nuts trying to make it look so,

almost no one has suggested doing away with the right to bear arms in America - only that we put reasonable limits on said rights.

Every time someone says "No one wants to take your guns away; we just want reasonable limits," I'm compelled to ask what limits you consider reasonable. There are quite a few limits already. What degree of limitation would you consider sufficient?

6. "Or did he finish him off with a hand grenade?"

Actually, it was a nuclear missile.

The same kind of nuclear missile all we Second Amendment "absolutists" believe everyone should be able to possess.

19. Did you even bother to read read the article?

It was a music store not a home. Also the owner and his wife were taken to the hospital for their injuries.

2. Probably a handgun, therefore a death spewer, not a WMD.

5. off to the Hague

With him !

11. How many gun homicides took place the same day as this incident?

And how many gun "accidents"?

[gejohnston]

12. how many DGUs on the same day didn't make the news?

who knows.
BTW, this is a homicide, just not murder nor manslaughter. The term is justifiable homicide.

[sylvi]

13. This was a gun homicide

[rdharma]

14. "Justifiable"

Now. How many gun homicides took place that same say that weren't "justified"?

How many gun "accidents"?

[sylvi]

15. Okay, I give up.

How many?

[rdharma]

16. Figure the number of firearms homicides per year and divide by 365.....

That will give you the approximate number.

[sylvi]

17. That'll give a daily average for whatever year cited

but it won't answer your original question.

[ileus]

18. Some would have rather his wife took a beating...

than afford him the ability to defend her with the fine selection of firearms we Americans have to choose from.

20. There are some who, you know, like to play footsy with crims.
