Christy Sheats was a vocal second amendment advocate. She recently shot and killed her two daughters before being shot and killed by a police officer.
"At around 5 p.m., officers started receiving 911 calls about shots fired in the city of Fulshear, just west of Houston, the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook.
When they arrived on the scene, they found Madison Sheats, 17, and her 22-year-old sister, Taylor, had been shot.
Madison died on the street, while Taylor was flown to a hospital, where she also died...
The girls’ mother, Christy Sheats, 42, was also in the street and, after refusing to drop her weapon, was shot and killed by a Fulshear officer, the sheriff’s office said.
“Our officer was forced to take action,” the Fulshear Police Department wrote onFacebook, without identifying the officer involved. “He was not injured and no deputies were injured.”
“This was a tragic and unfortunate occurrence and we are deeply saddened by the results,” police added...
“It would be horribly tragic if my ability to protect myself or my family were to be taken away,” she wrote in March, “but that’s exactly what Democrats are determined to do by banning semi-automatic handguns.””*
Simple. They can't. They are talking crap.
Exactly. Thank you Andy
Since the Orlando massacre, there have been well over 200 shooting in the US.
At least they didn't have to bake a cake for a gay wedding or pee in a stall next to a transgender. Now those are an outrage worthy of government legislation.
" The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun "..... Wingnuts battle cry.
82% of Americans surveyed favored increased background checks for gun purchasers...
80% of Americans surveyed favored ban on Gun Sales to people on the terror watch list ...
Republican Lawmakers , fat from NRA cash ignore the issue completely....
Don't take one incident to prove anything. Especially one so fraught with holes. She was NUTS. She didn't need a gun. She was batshit crazy.
Try another example. This doesn't cut it.
She could have been nuts and anti gun and went nuts too.
That's the problem Sweetheart. Crazy people with a housefull of guns.
I don't understand what you are trying to say...
This example is EXACTLY what needs to be shown.
She was a STAUNCH 2nd ammendmant advocate. Only AFTER she murdered her two daughters was it said that she was crazy.
Do you have any idea how many people who are "Crazy" have guns?
This article is a perfect example of why we have a problem in the US.
You are exactly correct. The NRA have their fingers in both parties
There are 88 million gun owners in the US. If your flawed premise was correct there would be no anti-gun people left.
No doubt about that...The NRA / ILA pays off anyone that will take the money in order to protect the Gun Manufacturers.
Guns don't kill people ... people do ... there, that saves the gun lobby having to say it
Those darn Soft -Targets !
I'm for responsible gun ownership, for making it mandatory to have a gun safety class (or multiple) why buying a gun, for not having them sold in places such as Walmart (guns or ammo), for having a mental check up when buying, etc. However, I know that even if they made it stricter, it wouldn't make a difference. People will find ways around it. Living out where I do, it is more for safety than anything else since it would take so long for law enforcement to get here and it annoys the living daylights outta me when my neighbors decide to shoot their guns for "practice" all the way past dark.
Even though someone already said it kinda, humans are destructive on their own. If not a gun then it'll be a knife or an axe or a sword.
There are mentals in any category. The fact that you seem to think violent tendencies aren't held by liberals gets you one step into the mental section.
When I want you to dismiss me, I'll ask you. In the meanwhile, I haven't been disrespectful to you and I would appreciate the courtesy in return. If you can't be civil, please don't respond to me. Thank you.
Then dismiss yourself. Too bad your parents didn't teach you any manners. Until you learn how to be civil, stay away from me.
And, I've learned that putting up with twits is not in my DNA. The truth is that you're an unmannerly, narcissistic "human" who thinks only about themselves.
I look at this no differently than murder committed by an environmentalist, pro-choice activist or "pro-lifer."
It isn't the pet cause that inclines or disinclines someone to commit a heinous act of violence, it is the person's motives and/or mental disposition. I don't think those who support or oppose certain groups or causes are more or less likely to commit crimes of violence, I think activists who kill do it for the same reasons every other criminal kills... because they choose to. Money, rage, fear etc. There's never a good reason.
I think we do ourselves and the victims a disservice by reading more into it. At the end of the day, they're just like other murderous scum, no more "special." I like to keep the corn juice out of the taters like that.
