More senseless gun violence

    Of course, because everyone made Joe Horn out to be a hero for shooting some burglars in the back, some people think you don't need to be in any real danger to shoot somebody.

    They've executed 13 people so far here in Texas this year.

    Long live the death penalty.

    Go thru your appeals, and if you fail with them ... see ya.

    To quote several posters on this board, "I loves me some death penalty."

    just as long as we save a few guns for a few firing squads, we're all good.

    Moral of the story: don't go off roading. Off road rage is even more dangerous than road rage.

    I figured you guys were stereotyping until I read the second half of the story:

    From the AP story...
    The Houston Chronicle reported that suspects live in a small house on stilts with a rebel flag flying from the roof. A sign posted out front reads: "Trespassers will be shot. Survivers will be reshot!! Smile I will."

    Me again...
    Or how disturbing is the part describing the wife taking the first shot, and then handing the gun to her hubby so he could take a shot?

    I'd be surprised if this couple gets convicted. There was the case of Joe Horn, not long ago, who shot two criminals breaking into his neighbor's house, and nothing happened to him.

    Not saying I agree with the "castle" law, but I know a lot of people here are much more grateful for being able to shoot a possible intruder BEFORE they successfully break into the house.

    Except they shot at people NOT on their property. What part of that is covered under the castle law?

    Yes, police and soldiers. People who actually should be allowed to have guns.
    As opposed to backwoods hicks with IQs below that of a carrot.

    You're so gonna hear from the carrot lobby.
     
  12. Was drugs or alcohol a factor?
