RupertKBD Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Another school shooting....in Iowa this time.... No details released as of yet.

RupertKBD Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I'll start this post off by saying I'm not happy or sad about this verdict. The entire thing is just sad all around. What I will say is that no matter what side of the gun debate you fall on, (and I think everyone here knows what side I'm on) this decision could have far reaching ramifications. This is a case of a jury finding someone else culpable for a mass shooting, rather than just the shooter: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68223118 Quote A jury has found a Michigan mother guilty of involuntary manslaughter for failing to stop her son from carrying out a deadly school shooting. Jennifer Crumbley, 45, is the first US parent convicted of manslaughter over a mass shooting carried out by their child. Prosecutors accused her of being negligent in allowing her son to have a gun, and ignoring warnings signs. Her husband, James, is facing a separate trial on the same charges. TBH, I'll be surprised if the NRA, or some other right wing group doesn't fund an appeal, but for now at least, it seems like the actions (or inactions) of the parents of teenage mass shooters are going to have consequences.

Sharpshooter Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I think every major League outside of the NHL has had a mass shooting attached to it. ‘Murica, where guns have more political value than its kids.

RupertKBD Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Bear in mind: The NRA and the Republican politicians and judges that they control, want to make sure that laws like this one in Michigan do not exist: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/after-2-year-old-girl-shoots-self-man-becomes-first-person-charged-under-michigan-s-gun-storage-law/ar-BB1iFu0Y?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=e667f14782ec4e0f8eed43004976a0b7&ei=26 Quote A Michigan man whose 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the head with his revolver last week pleaded not guilty after becoming the first person charged under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns. Michael Tolbert, 44, of Flint, was arraigned Monday on nine felony charges including single counts of first-degree child abuse and violation of Michigan's gun storage law, said John Potbury, Genesee County's deputy chief assistant prosecuting attorney. This idiot left a loaded weapon where a 2 year-old could get ahold of it, FFS.

Tell us again how your house is safer with a gun in it.... What also needs to change is federal sentencing guidelines for gun possession by a felon. Currently you are looking at 2-10 years in prison at the federal level and sentencing length varies by the state. They should make it a federal crime and bump it to 15-20 years without parole, repeat offenders like this guy should get automatic life without possibility of parole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertKBD Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Nice to see the chickens finally come home to roost for this POS..... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/national-rifle-association-and-wayne-lapierre-are-found-liable-in-lawsuit-over-lavish-spending/ar-BB1iN0NV?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=f2a626a01b374a5197560fa8ceebdf63&ei=26 Quote The National Rifle Association and its former longtime leader were found liable Friday in a lawsuit centered on the organization’s lavish spending. The New York jury found that Wayne LaPierre, who was the NRA’s CEO for three decades, misspent millions of dollars of the group’s money on pricey perks for themselves. Jurors ordered LaPierre to pay $4,351,231 in restitution. NRA general counsel John Frazer and retired finance chief Wilson Phillips were also defendants in the case.
