Yes he was. Without a gun, he'd have gotten nowhere in that endeavour. Luckily at some point the gun failed, and he failed. But he shouldn't have been able to shoot the cop at all.

I have a decent grip, I believe. Those losing their grip are the ones thinking that a cop being gunned down by a murderous psycho is the day's best news ('cause he got shot, too, yippee!).

The reason this story puts a lump in you gun nuts' Walmart polyester pants is that about one in every 5000 shootings in the US nearly matches the NRA narrative of guns being used to do good. In this case it was only after a gun was used to do something really bad, but near enough: shout it from the rooftops. Stories like this allow you to cling to your delusions, and you can't stand to have it described for what it really is.

What??? I bought a pistol with dedicated suppressor sights and they help I guess. But I don't use that pistol often. Usually just use a standard. Seems to work fine. At the end of the day you simply line the dots up and rock and roll. I can't usually even see where I'm hitting until a mag change and I get better groups with t since it stablizes the gun.

I don't drink and I don't use drugs I'm. Naturally unhinged. But I'm harmless unless provoked.

Well, it generally helps to be able to see what you are hitting ...

Mexico has stricter gun laws than Australia and it is a virtual gun murder capital of the world. This guy was an illegal whose entry is unknown. He probably crossed with this gun. If we ban our guns how will we protect ourselves from the cartel trash?

One from six. You're improving.

Why is it you want only criminals to have guns? Is it related to your desire to see cops killed?

You really are sick.

Boner doesn't care about any of that. And he isn't too bright. You are wasting your time.

Wow. If I was hired as a devil's advocate for the gun lobby I'd do a better job than you dimwits. JSA is functionally illiterate, and this is the best you can do?

Of about 200 countries governed by a Constitution, only 3 have a Constitutional right to own and bear arms: USA, Mexico and Guatemala. Each is an utter basket case for gun violence. The USA is not overall quite as bad as the others, although some of its cities are. You're proud of this?

The "Happy Gun Story" is about a cop who was gunned down. That has happened more than weekly for decades in the US. I pointed out that there are many advanced countries where it happens almost never (as it should). Countries where the cops, in turn, sometimes go a whole year without firing a single shot with intent to harm (not "a cop" but every cop in the country), compared to the 1000+ that they slay in the USA (because, they'll tell you, they never know who is about to try to shoot them). You don't want to talk about what is achievable where sanity prevails; in advanced nations. You want to compare yourselves to Mexico, FFS, and pretend that your rates of gun violence are anything other than a source of national shame. Utterly delusional.

Here's an update for you. You are not protecting yourselves. You are slaughtering yourselves.

This links to a rather nice table that can be sorted by rate / capita. While your statement is somewhat accurate, you're also cherry picking.

You guys realize you are being trolled by Bone Idle? This entire thread reminds me of the USENET discussions back in the 90's using NewsBin.

They were entertaining back then. It's getting a little old in this day and age. Everyone should just ignore him.

"...the street finds its own uses for things"

Bone Idol is an American hating idiot who seldom adds anything of value here. But every now and then it is fun to play along.

Personally I think he should take a gun, insert it in his mouth and pull the trigger. He can have one of mine to do it.
