    Sure you can, McGyver. I bet you can make sniper quality rounds by melting your pipes and mixing some draino and baking soda.

    The hand looks black. The face like Leatherface or Freddy.

    given the tremendous success of the war on drugs, how would banning guns do anything? the perpetrator just committed the two most serious felonies one can commit under state law. Do you honestly think the threat of being punished for having a gun would have deterred him? and with open borders and over a billion guns available on the world market plus at least another 300 million in our country, do you seriously believe someone intent on committing murder would not be able to get one?

    and since I am extremely well trained in defensive shooting, I can tell you given how fast this happened, a well trained bystander might well have killed the shooter but I doubt before he killed at least one and probably two of the victims

    probably true but what the gun banners all fail to accept is the lessons of history concerning prohibition and the war on drugs. The people who are most likely to use a gun illegally are those who are LEAST likely to be deterred by the pie in the sky bans gun haters want

    It truly is unreal how the exploiters always hop on these situations to make their ignorant political stance on it. I would love to know how exactly this country could possibly do what all ultra left wingers want. That is a ban on ALL GUNS. Oh, they will deny that is what they want, but we all know.

    How in the world do you get the 400 million guns in circulation?

    How much prison time should a person get?

    Does this mean all people who do not turn in their gun go to prison?

    What good is a gun without ammunition? Love that solution.

    Give us the cost of new prisons that will need to be built to incarcerate all of these citizens that violate the gun control law that ultra left wingers want.

    Give us all of the logistical plans that accompany your brilliant desire of BANNING ALL GUNS.

    Again, they will deny that this is what they want. That is what they want.

    Make no mistake.....

    They are saying now a disgruntled former employee. I have a theory now. Let's see if it is the same employee who has been trying to spread a story about a attorney from that area that he feels the network has been covering up because the lawyer buys lots of commercials on the network.

    I'd gladly lock the crazies away. No dimes for drugs that mask symptoms and make the people even more whacky without them than they were before they started taking them.

    that's even more silly than trying to ban guns. all it would do is punish recreational and target shooters-not thugs

    but of course, I suspect that is what most of those who want bans truly want. there are BILLIONS of rounds of ammo in the USA.

    I HAVE personally, over the last 30 years, loaded well over a half million rounds of 9mm. 45ACP, 38 Special, 38 Short Colt, 40 SW, 380 and the four NSSA shotgun gauges. and just about any competitive shooter does the same plus has thousands of rounds put away.

    Sure, but your recreational shooters' hobby certainly should come before children's lives :roll:

    Seems that someone doesn't like CNN ...

    OK, no jokes about killed people of course, but per day are in the USA how many people being shot by gunfire and no one really cares about, because not being reporter / cameraman of CNN?

    if crime control is the goal which it isn't. Its about using tragedies like this to advance gun bans. Gun bans are advocated almost entirely by lefties who think gun bans will harass conservative voters and undercut the ability of the NRA to fund candidates gun banners don't like

    the fact is, the shooter in this incident is going to die in prison based on what he did-maybe not through execution but he will die in prison at some point. He obvious didn't care about that penalty. The ONLY WAY you can stop attackers like this is to intervene before they kill. Ideally, that means treating the mental illness that spurs most of these types of wanton killings. If not, by getting lucky and having an armed citizen or police officer kill or incapacitate him before he murders. The threat of punishment is worthless when dealing with berserker attackers. As is the BS appeal to gun control

    Do you know how easy it is to make a gun? or ammo? Or a bomb? Or a bomb with an incendiary device built in?

    Drugs have been outlawed for 80 years and... Well there ya go!

    It is a local CBS affiliate station, not a CNN reporter. They have the guy basically trapped. The highway he is on has very few offramps.

    That's as stupid as saying we should ban swimming pools because children drowning is more important than HS and college swim teams

    your choice is bogus and your goal is gun bans and the phony facade that crime control is your real motivation doesn't cut it. If saving lives truly motivated leftwing gun haters, you'd start by banning stuff that kills far more people than murders like this. But you don't. Its all about banning guns because gun owners TEND to be of a political stripe you gun banners don't like

    Drugs are the Godwin law of gun discussions. People still get through illegally, so we should let everybody through.

    Me? I'd just ask the police to actually go and get them. And if the gun worshippers want them pried from their cold dead fingers, so be it. And if there's too many for the police that's what we have an Army for.

    If the Army really wouldn't do it, which I don't think for a minute would happen, then we've lost, but it's time we tried and found out. Everybody says "you can't do that, you'll have a war, " but what do you think we have now? They're shooting us down like dogs, how much longer are we expected to tolerate this?

    LOL, I bet you will be leading the charge breaking down doors to get those guns

    brilliant idea-we cannot control all the real criminals in this country yet the rabid gun haters want to start a civil war with the 100 million legal gun owners.

    Yes. These are small local TV stations that just contract with news companies and TV networks for content sharing. These are not big networks reporters. They do things like interview the local dog catcher and report on local fires. They are more like the original youtubers than they are major network reporters.

    If you are talking criminals and the mentally unstable (as in certifiable, not just people who disagree with your political agenda) then you are talking. Eliminating guns and going after legal gun ownership/constitutional rights, you are the problem.

    It's not the guns. It's the evil and wickedness in the people. Lake Charles is about to lay a State Trooper to rest after he was blasted away by a man with a shotgun when he pulled over to help that man get his vehicle out of the ditch.
