Shooting @Texas A&M - Can We Talk About Guns Yet?

Most shootings in pensacola and escambia county are from people who stole their guns or purchased them illegally.

Legal gun ownership works. Criminals are the real problem. Not registered gun owners.

These kinds of arguments echo the hyperbolic rhetoric of groups like the NRA that are more than happy to wade through the blood of their fellow citizens to make a buck. I would wager there are many more restrictions on ownership and operation of a motor vehicle than their are on guns. A good start would be for the law-abiding and responsible gun owners of America to wrest control of the dialog from the death merchants at the NRA.

This, according to what I heard earlier, was not school-related, but an eviction gone bad. I would be interested to see the paperwork and know whether the eviction was legal.

But, unfortunately, that's now beside the point. There is no way to disarm the public, and there's a reason the right to bear arms is written into our Constitution. To me, this is less about gun ownership and more about the disconnect between neighbors.

I don't think they should be so easy to get at gun shows either.

the NRA doesnt represent all gun owners.

but real crooks represent the taking away of your gun.

if you cared about people, you wouldnt take away peoples rights to have a gun.

because then only crooks would have guns.

and if you were to put yourself high up there on caring about people, you wouldnt be focusing on guns killing people, because dont kill as many people as gluten, high frutose corn syrup or cars.

but of course, there is a AGENDA

FT, wouldn't it be safe to assume that since the notice of eviction was being served by a Law Enforcement Officer(Constable) that it would be a legal eviction?

(CNN) -- A Texas constable and two others were killed Monday in a shooting near Texas A&M University, police said.
Scott McCollum, assistant chief with the College Station police department, told reporters Monday afternoon that the three people killed were the constable, the man authorities say exchanged gunfire with law enforcement officers and an unidentified 65-year-old male civilian.
The dead included Brian Bachmann, a constable in Brazos County, according to McCollum. According to his Facebook campaign page, Bachmann was a 41-year-old from College Station who had been a Brazos County sheriff's deputy since 1993. The county's website indicated that his four-year term as constable was set to expire on December 31, 2014.
"He was a pillar in this community, and it's sad and tragic that we've lost him today," McCollum said.

The assistant police chief didn't offer details on the suspected gunman, beyond saying he was in his mid-30s. As to the third victim, a post on the city of College Station's official Twitter page identified him as a "civilian bystander."
Four others suffered injuries in the prolonged ordeal, which occurred a few blocks from the Texas A&M campus.
