At some point one single part of a gun has to be "the" gun, or else you'd have multiple legal "guns" assembled into one working firearm. Now don't confuse them with logic. All guns are bad and some even badder than others. Has anyone ever met a spiritual firearm? Inquiring minds...

Street thugs often have more disposable money than those who work for a living.
Besides, if you are looking for marks, would you look at Wal-Mart or Nordstroms? Go where the money is.

If that ever comes here I guess I'm going to jail.

Read this yesterday. Cudos to the woman who responded, but sad that he put her in the position of having to respond. I regularly have people flip me off while stopped for my bus. Seems like there are two extremes lately. The ones that stop 100yd back and patiently wait for my kids to clear the road,...

Ten to one the camera guy is with the goblin.

In the article everyone sounds so shocked that this could happen.
Obviously they've been living under a rock for the last few years.

I challenge anyone who thinks this is an unusual occurrence to watch a few hours of school security or bus camera footage.
It will change their minds.

Moron chasing a shoplifter and decided to lob a few rounds after said shoplifter while running in a crowded mall. What could possibly go wrong!? This is one good guy with a gun the world could do without. Hopefully they throw the book at him. Yes, I'm being hard on the shooter. He lobbed rounds aft...

Minneapolis has been using Shotspotter for a few years. Not sure if it has played a significant role in court though.

Being jailed or even worse, convicted of a crime with an AI as the only witness would be a nightmare. How would you defend against an inanimate object?

"A beautiful day in the neighborhood. A beautiful day in the neighborhood..."

Nothing that happens in the Metro area surprises me anymore. Stay frosty and keep your head on a swivel. Never know where the misspent youths will turn up next.

There are a couple members here that could tell you more than I can. They were boots on the ground in St Paul. I was just one of the many hands working out state manning information booths and writing Congress Critters etc. The NRA didn't have much of a role until the last minute, but the final vot...

I would say I'm so far on the side of keeping private ownership of firearms in the US, I'm happy to see the nra implode. It doesn't guarantee anything but long term I think it's for the best. Edited to add I currently still have a membership for reasons that don't really involve thinking it will be...

Too little too late. Wayne has done more damage than can be repaired in the near future. It will take years for the membership to build trust in the organization again. It was Todd Rathner who resigned. It doesn't look like Wayne is going anywhere. I understand that Wayne hasn't stepped down, but h...
