“Never leave a live enemy behind you.”
Not to mention the Cartwrights: Ben Cartwright killed 35 people, Adam Cartwright killed 28 people, Hoss Cartwright killed 36 people and hot head Little Joe Cartwright killed 67 people.
Nancy Cartwright didn’t kill Any people. Ha-ha.
Does that include all the women?
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers in this racket.
Lucas McCain (The Rifleman) racked up 120 in 5 years.
Anyone have numbers for Paladin? There were some annoying foils that he failed to kill, but in some of his 225 episodes, he offed more than one.
A least one made the national news but three in the past week highlights a trend - male domestic partners with guns and bad attitudes are trouble.
" Thousands of women are killed every year by their male partners. Between 2003 and 2014, over 10,000 adult women were killed in the U.S., and 50% were killed by an intimate partner. In recent years, most mass shootings have been perpetrated by male killers with a history of domestic violence or violence against women."
Did you see the response from the family of the woman who was murdered (along with her five children and mother) by her estranged husband a week or so ago? Can’t make this stuff up (this is not the whole statement):
We would caution media outlets and the public at large about using our family’s story for any advocacy of political agendas. Protective arms were purposely removed from the home prior to the incident because all adults were properly trained to protect human life. This is the type of loss that will continue to occur in families, communities and this nation when protective arms are no longer accessible. - SOURCE
Is it just me or does that make no sense?
Also, it seems the guns were removed by the husband.
They should have removed the offensive/aggressive arms instead, obviously.
Good grief, the guy killed them with a gun, right???
Yes, he did.
The later linked article explains it better. What the family is saying in that first quote is “someone, knowing that the others knew how to use guns, took all guns out of their reach” that is, that if the others still had their guns this would not have happened – but in the first post they (conveniently?) do not name that it was the husband/attacker that was that “someone”, and therefore kept all the guns for himself.
Fair enough. I suppose if you were to embark on a plan to murder your whole family you want to stack the deck in your favor so removing the guns makes some sense.
But really…I doubt it mattered much. His wife would be the biggest threat but chances are she’s the first one shot with no chance to get to the guns. That leaves grandma (78) and a 17 year-old. Maybe the twelve-year old. The other kids were seven or younger.
I would think a household with young kids would secure their guns. They are not lying loaded in kitchen drawers and behind the X-Box “just in case.”
In short, I doubt anyone could have used the guns in self defense in this circumstance.
Personally I don’t care who was shot first, or who took who’s guns away … that entire family is a collective pile of shit for defending gun rights in the very memorial post regarding five people murdered via gun. Fuck them. I hope they find no peace.
No, it is not that it makes no sense, it is a case of do as we say, not as we say. “Don’t make this political, as we proceed to make it political.”
“OUR positions are not politics, YOURS are.”
While this seems overly harsh, it isn’t and I agree. What a fucked up way to proclaim your love of guns. Gun nuts are fucked in the head!
I thought I might have gone a little too far. But, yeah, fuck 'em.
Those who live by stupidity die by stupidty, I guess.
The obituary for the husband talks about what a wonderful man he was and how much he loved his children. And someone has set up a Gofundme. It says it is for funeral expenses if necessary. It now has almost $95,000. I wonder who will get that since the entire family is dead? And there’s a picture of the family on the Gofundme page where the husband has been replaced with Jesus. Just strange all around.
