They are getting to the heart of the problem—-The GUN.

AWESOME! It sounds like they are actually targeting CRIMINAL possession (of guns and drugs) for a change. I do have a couple of questions......first, the statement does not directly address if any LAWFUL concealed carry citizens were harassed or not.....I think it likely. And second, how many of the criminals will be released with no bond or OTOR.....straight out onto the streets.

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

One other point. The gun is not the problem. The criminals willing to USE weapons, any weapon, is the heart of the problem.

Disarming good guys does not make bad guys less dangerous.
Only DISARMNG bad guys, and incarcerating them, does that. Sounds almost like what they are doing.....but the devil is in the details. Not enough details in this report.

It sounds like this guy or girl TJ thinks guns are sentient.

Steven smith

How many guns do you own?

RandyBrian Loc: Texas

I think you are right. I have been a gun owner on and off for decades, plus a member at a community gun club and range, plus a security guard at my church for years. NOT once has a firearm fired, or even threatened anyone in any way.
It takes a bad guy for someone to be harmed by a firearm. Bad guy being someone with doing evil on their mind, or being stupidly careless with using or training with a firearm, or stupidly careless with leaving one available to children or irresponsible adults.

You're probably going to get crickets with that question. If she says she does own guns, she's being a hypocrite. If she says she doesn't own guns, she's telling everyone she's unarmed - a very stupid thing to admit to in today's climate...but not unexpected with someone with her mentality. 😐

BTW, welcome to OPP. If you're new: it will be a roller coaster ride. If not, then you know what you're in for!

And how many of them were seized from law abiding gun owners? The common denominator of gun crimes...CRIMINALS!!!!!

He's a flaming liberal all the way down to religion.

Your post is about criminals - NOT law abiding gun owners!! Try again!!

TJ is a man, Emily. Jesuit schools are for men only.

EmilyD

That is...IF you go to a Jesuit school you have to be a man. If someone lies a lot, how can one believe even one thing they say?

Also...their sketchy knowledge of Catholicism tells me this person either paid almost no attention in school when the Jesuits were teaching them, or she did not go to a Jesuit school. The Jesuit program is very rigorous -- and very Catholic. The fact that she doesn't even know how a Pope is appointed is very telling of someone who was allegedly educated by Catholic priests.

Anyone who was taught by Jesuits would not have the attitude she has towards things like a******n, t*********rs and that being gay is acceptable. If they showed attitude like that to Jesuit priests, they would have been kicked out of school.....especially back in the 60's and, 70's...even the 80's when this person probably was of school age. Priests and nuns took no nonsense when it came to their teaching. They were very strict back then.

She'll probably say she's changed since then....but the "I come bearing witness" crap that she does tells me not...that she's just playing games.

She's not beyond playing the part of a man, too. It's a good disguise.

Blade - you actually believe this TJ person about any Jesuit school after all the lies she`s told and especially after she said she had been looking at your posts for 10 years??

martsiva

Amen to that!!
