Quote:

A co-worker who witnessed the shooting said Rainey had knocked on Roop***8217;s door, but received no answer. While Rainey was walking down the drive-way, Roop pulled up in his pickup truck and asked why Rainey was at his house. Rainey explained that he was selling steak and seafood. The witness said Roop then pulled out a black handgun and shot Rainey. As Rainey lay on the ground, Roop fired another bullet into the back of his head.

What is wrong with people? Good god....

And the money quote...

Quote:

Roop later told police that he shot Rainey in the head ***8220;for effect***8221; and that he had three no trespassing signs on his property. Roop said he feared for his life.

***8220;I***8217;m not going to give him the chance to do something to me,***8221; he told police. ***8220;I was in fear.***8221;

Yeah, I bet.

Making guns illegal is starting to sound pretty darn good isn't it.

I cannot help it, but that thread headline caught me by surprise and I burst in laughter. "I kill anybody that steps on my property, hoah!"

And knifes. In my case, do not forget the bow, and the swords.

Damn, even a pencil can be a weapon.

Let'S face it, there is no remedy to nuttiness. As long as nuttiness cannot be extracted out of the head, sh!t will continue to happen.

For example that armed robber on your doorstep, first ringing, and then introducing you to the pointed end of his gun (probably an illegal one).

If the salesman was also armed this would never have happened.

Personally I think they should arm everyone in America with M-29 Davy Crocketts and then ban MOPP suits from being manufactured in the country. See how weapon crime progresses then...

Not really

It's very sad and probably for Rainey very bad luck, but this guy was going to kill someone eventually. Just a matter of time.

Damn anti-gun manchurian candidates.

breadcatcher101 · 07-28-12, 07:17 AM

Probably about 75 million Americans own guns.

Yeah, let's ban them because of one incident.

Last data I saw had 257 incidents per day, 81 of them fatal. Some are murders, some are suicides and some are accidents.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people...but the guns certainly do help.

USA is very high in gun violence statistics.
If guns don't kill people then there are too many nutcases with access to guns.

I hope that one or another prosecutor will take this matter to court.
For me it is no doubt that it is overkill. He has abused the right to defend him self.
His life was NEVER in danger. The correct way to do it, would be to make a civilian arrest.

Another important question which I do not want to ask, because I know that you should never criticize another country's domestic problems

Well I do it anyway

What is wrong with the American mentality?
There are other countries like Canada, where the number of arms per inhabitants is higher than in the U.S., but where the number of the killings and other incidents is much lower, even when you look to the number of inhabitants.

So it must be the American mentality or something else

It's high, yes, but when you compare it on a per capita basis, then it's not that high. In terms of overall gun crime though America is...fourth, I think, behind South Africa, Colombia and Thailand.

It'll never change though, you try and bring in any form of gun control law and the whole country will riot.
