        Believe it or not, there are some of us out here in the woods that still rely on firearms as a part of our daily lives to both put food on the table and protect against dangerous animals in the area (mainly black bears around me).

          Admittedly I hadn’t thought of that, but I still believe there are alternative routes that could be explored to resolve those issues. Even in your part of the world I don’t believe you need to have 75 pounds of tannerite and a 100 round drum mag for your AR15 to combat the everyday bear.

          Still doesn’t change the fact that you have insane gun laws.

          The world is not like the US when it comes to gun deaths.

          Places like Switzerland have more guns per capita and fewer gun deaths than the US.

          Why is that?

          I love how you try and justify 50k gun deaths (a lot of them being children) by saying you hunt.

          Typical American.

      Try living in a city lol. Murders are just on daily news. They happen semi-regularly but are almost always someone being targeted for a specific reason, which seems to be the case here. Random indiscriminate killings hardly ever happen, it’s just not worth it to risk life in prison for what, maybe a wallet or a botched robbery?

      I wouldn’t call this a random murder, seems like they planned a drive-by when they knew he was going to be at an opportune place and time.

      Who did it and why? Continue to be “shaken up” until you can tell us that.
