Authorities said Lorenzo Clark, 36, got into an argument Sunday with his neighbor, Terence Olridge, 31, who was headed into work. The altercation in the normally quiet Memphis suburb of Cordova escalated into an exchange of gunfire, and Olridge was shot multiple times and died at a hospital, authorities said.And what work was Olridge headed for? He was a police officer.
So this one is a twofer for us gun grabbers. Not only can we mock the "polite society" dimwits, we can also note that the NRA mantra that "the only thing that stops a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun" didn't work so well this time: Clark was, if not a provably "bad man" at least a felon with a firearm.
Even in my home state of Tennessee this is against the law.
Tennessee is full of guns, but it is not especially polite. For example, yesterday in my hometown:
Eight hours after a gunman opened fire on students waiting at a school bus stop in Alton Park on Tuesday morning, parents watched the yellow school buses rumble back to the same spot after school and recounted how their children managed to avoid the bullets.They did not seem to be confident that Tennessee's virtual absence of controls on firearms was making them safe:
Both asked not to be identified because they fear for their safety.

Why do Democrats get away with lying about guns?
ReplyDeleteGun control zealots ignore facts.
ReplyDeleteI cannot speak for Democrats, but I personally ignore made-up "facts" about guns. Your first link is particularly ridiculous.

ReplyDeleteDo tell -- and please be just that little more specific.

Think again (which is being charitable):
Graphic Video Shows Israeli Citizen Using His Gun To Stop A Terrorist Attack.
The video is not “graphic” in the sense that it shows blood and gore or anything like that, it's street cam footage of a Palestinian driving his car into a bus stop, then getting out and hacking at people with a cleaver. Please note the armed response from the Israeli citizen. I timed it, it takes 8 seconds from the time the driver's side door opens until an armed bystander is confronting the terrorist with a gun, shooting him.
Inconvenient Truths
ReplyDeleteIt's from BloombergBusiness.
There is no gun regulation in this country, and you and I both know it. For some reason you keep linking to sites that pretend different.
ReplyDeleteYou are delusional.
ReplyDeleteReally? I can go out and buy a gun from a gun owner. No oversight whatever. In any county.
ReplyDeleteI might or might not be able to register it, but I'd have it.
I can go out and buy a gun from a gun owner =/= There is no gun regulation in this country
ReplyDeleteUnless you are delusional.
Even where guns are regulated, they are not regulated much:

" 'I'm just unlucky, I guess,' says the owner"
Can't imagine why, unless it's because he sells this:

ReplyDeleteWhat, exactly, is Georgia law?
Oddly, that was completely missing from that article.
Which, journalistically speaking, was a piece of crap.
