  1. Sounds like a top rate human. Let him rot in jail.
    Angry with his family..and he shoots two strangers?

    It's going downhill.

  2. "Angry with his family..and he shoots two strangers?"

    TomD -- for once I agree with you. This is exactly the kind of person if found guilty must be banned for life from firearms, except in an extreme self-defense circumstance.

    Some people just can't handle their rights.

  3. His victims should get to take shots at him while he is standing around and hopefully they are much better shots!

  4. No extreme, banned totally and unconditionally.

  5. To KillerB your statement shows the laughable ignorance of liberal thinking. If we let this monster out do you really think he's going to care about being banned for life from firearms? Of course not he's a criminal he'll get his guns stolen or on the streets just like they get cocaine or heroine. That's like saying cocaine addicts should be banned for life from buying cocaine. He should be banned from SOCIETY period! He should never be allowed out to hurt someone with a gun, knife, bat, hammer or an other type of weapon. They need to lock these guys up for life.
