VABills Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 These poor robbers were killed just trying to do their job. How dare the store owners shoot and kill them with there guns. These poor guys couldn't even have a holdup without fearing for their lives. This is just going to make more people even poorer as they will have to think twice before they rob the corner store. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/26/store.sho...g.ap/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned in the other thread, these two were tried, convicted and sentenced without due process. What the hell is happening to our country? Where is the compassion? This "crime" is not the fault of the people who died. We MUST not stop until we find someone or something else we can blame for this, before more innocent people like this are brutally killed.

If these two had been given classes on how to properly rob a store they would still be alive. The store owner and his wife should be dead, not the robbers. If they could have afforded better ammo, the gun wouldn't have jammed in the first place. Damn the government for allowing these two to go forward in their trade without proper training.

Contractor, middle-man... call it what you will? And they don't take one red cent out of the general fund? Things people do to rationalize?

Who are we mocking here? There are lobbying groups all over every angle of gun control issues but has any party made it part of their platform to ban guns?

Who are we mocking here? There are lobbying groups all over every angle of gun control issues but has any party made it part of their platform to ban guns? 219288[/snapback] Not party, but there is a vocal group who tends to be a little liberal who wants to ban guns. I was just agreeing with them that the bad store owners shouldn't be allowed to legally own guns. They are interfering in the free enterprise system for the two criminals to do their jobs. Their poor families are now without their sons, or fathers as the case maybe. It just isn't fair that these store owners should so carelessly take the lives of these people who haven't even been proven guilty yet. Where is the justice?

Mickey Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 From the Democratic Pary Platform 2004: "We will protect Americans' Second Amendment right to own firearms, and we will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists by fighting gun crime, reauthorizing the assault weapons ban, and closing the gun show loophole, as President Bush proposed and failed to do." If you want to beat up the party, go ahead but at least let it be over their actual policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider myself conservative, but I am not nor never will be a member of the republican party. I vote for the best candidate. It is however very much one of the main "liberal" causes to get rid of guns. BTW what's a PARY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have about as much success keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and terrorists as they've had keeping drugs out of public schools. Nothing more than political voodoo bought by the terminally stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't succeed, unlike Waco and Elian and the child abuse pogram she perpetrated in Florida before she became AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Bobby Doster and Gloria Turner never hesitated. The pair pulled out their own pistols and opened fire.
