Last I checked they don't issue drivers licenses to certain "mentally ill"....

1. So, instead of focusing on the car and the law abiding drivers as being the problem, why don't you instead focus on getting better health related issues into the background check system? After all.... nearly every single mass shooting has been by someone know to be or diagnosed with mental illness issues. Because you liberals want to ban cars, or restrict them as much as you can at minimum so they can't really ever be used by anyone except by the government, and even then we can't use them because only the government will have them. Thus, you people don't actually want to FIX the problem.... you want to blame the "tools". Yet I don't see you all blaming Obama for liberal failures in Chicago despite their gun bans/resctrictions.

2. Chicago Obama's homeland has the equivlent of a few 1,000 mass shootings a year, and near actual ones, yet Chicago is near total gun ban/restricted, and yet you don't hear a word for Obama.
But somehow the rare almost always mental health challenged person in liberal warped mindset means guns need to be restricted from the law abiding.

3. Just watched the movie "No Escape"..... Highly recommend you people watch it and start learning why the right to self defense is a human right, and that guns is the ONLY equalizer against those who abuse and oppress.

4. FYI.... Background checks ARE a persons equivlent of a drivers license. Further, conservatives AND the NRA have no problem with every person being safety trained, thus further licensed to carry and shoot a firearm.

Thus clearly, liberals don't actually want to "solve" the problems..... They want to simply take guns away, just like they do in nearly every other country.
It's facinating to me how liberals don't have logic and intelligence.... If they did, they would be able to look at history and other country's and see exactly the "patterns" the rhetoric, etc. that led to gun bans. Yet, they call conservatives the stupid ones.... LOL Oh, and not only that.... but we tell them over and over again, have books, websites, etc. showing all the facts and history, yet they IGNORE IT ALL..... So, just like anti-mormons, liberals are brainwashed zombies.

I'll try to come up with the specific scanner recording I mentioned previously.

Of course. These stories can get confusing, especially in the beginning. So many outlets rush to report.

I did see in this in the Denver Post today:


The shooting began at 11:38 a.m., and the entire incident took place at the Planned Parenthood clinic, according to police. Officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect, identified by a federal law enforcement source as Robert Lewis Dear, 57, throughout the afternoon, even as they also used an armored vehicle to rescue people trapped inside the clinic. After preparing over the police radio for a final gunbattle, officers took the suspected shooter into custody without incident at 4:52 p.m. Colorado Springs police Lt. Catherine Buckley said officers at the scene were able to shout to the man and convince him to give himself

So if that isn't true, and shooting occurred in other locations, the CS police need to walk that statement back. I assume we will get a clearer picture over the next few days.

You've figured it out. There's a liberal plot to outlaw cars and only allow people to travel on roller skates. You're also going to have to wear satin short shorts like all the roller disco guys wore in the 70s. It's going to be awesome. Sieg Heil!

Actually, the above quote is a bit misleading. That's from another shooting in Colorado Springs earlier this month. So seven dead (so far) in Colorado Springs this month from automatic weapons fire.


That was on Halloween.


My bad. So it was seven dead in less than 30 days.

One report I read had a statement from people inside the king Soopers that towards the beginning of the incident a bleeding man came in saying he had been shot in the parking lot. However, it also appears Dear parked in the PP lot. So, I think we're going to have to wait longer to get the full picture.

Yeah, I'll say. The recording I was referring to previously was one where the officer said (paraphrasing, because I haven't had a second to locate it yet) : He's at the Soopers. He's trying to hit you as you go in. Officer down.

I'll try to find that somewhere local.

I did manage to nab this comment off Facebook. This is a local.

the reason why no one was harmed was because it didn't have nothing to do with Planned Parenthood, it all started outside at the near by shopping center ..he was shooting at passing cars and people at the shopping center ....love how this became a political issue when there is no issue to be had


That's exactly how I understood it to be. In the end, they'll publish a time line, I am sure. The only timeline I could find began at 12:31 PM.

Wow, two terrorists within a couple of days, murder innocent people in public and actually get to live to tell about it?

Yes, they were taken into custody. No one unloaded their magazine into their body.
