This happened right outside one of my relatives door. He is a student at UNI. He says it was blacks from Waterloo and a drug deal gone bad. He also told me that black gangs from Waterloo hide in parking lots outside the local bars and rob students on their way home.
Another drug deal gone bad. Let them shoot each other. No one cares.
Seems to me we already commented on this and Chief Red Face deleted everything. It’s considered impolite to trample on literary contributions.
Sure you Dumb Ass. He deleted all the comments just so he would have to put them back in. How stupid are you? What is your real name Quinn S.?
If he turns liberal I will agree with you !
Disgusting. The NRA and video games have instilled a nihilistic death culture which is sadly infiltrating Iowa. Wayne LaPierre should be taken out back and shot in the head.
So…You support gun violence?
It’s sorta like asking the What If scenario…”What if you could travel back in time and kill Hitler as a child…would you?” No, I wouldn’t do it, but if someone did, it would be poetic justice. The NRA is not about common sense self defense protections. They are about gun sales. Bump Stocks? Machine guns? Guns in the hands of prisoners locked up in prison? They are out of their minds, and people are dying in droves because of their insane policies and promotions.
We could use a little target practice if you are up for it.
Two druggers shot and no one gives a shit. All illegal drug users should be shot.
But Peter, you were the one that said you supported the NRA and even lobbied on their behalf in Des Moines for right to carry.
I did support the NRA until I realized their full agenda, and their selective application of 2nd Amendment rights for a target demographic that doesn’t involve me. They should be equananimous in their advocacy and they are not.
The NRA does not support people like you who been judged mentally incompetent to have a firearm. Neither do I and I am certain others feel much safer without you being able to have a firearm.
You can’t control your bowel habits, let alone your manic anger.
PS. You are doing it again.
You have a lot to learn about the truly dangerous amongst us. I have gone my entire life and haven’t hurt a fly. The NRA either applies the 2nd Amendment equally, or they admit it’s flawed and call for a constitutional convention. The way it stands, people are seeing whatever they want to see.
And p.s. If I wanted someone dead, they’d be dead. I wouldn’t need a conceal carry permit or the blessings of the government to acquire a firearm or destructive power. Hell, I could get a gun at any gun show if I really wanted one. The feel good measures people put in place only irritate discriminated groups, which leads to occassional “scale balancers.” I’ve had every reason in the world to justifiably kill, yet I havent. So keep up your antagonism. It means nothing.
Come on Peter, man up. Its not the NRA you have any qualms about, it’s the fact your parents wouldn’t give you the money for the NRA’s membership dues.
Done with the NRA. I support the idea for a Constitutional Convention. Clearly the language is vague, and people are being denied or given their 2nd Amendment rights based on willy nilly criteria. Same goes for the 1st Amendment. We should be able to say ANYTHING, including yelling fire in a movie theater. You might get kicked out and never told to come back, but trying to charge you for the words themselves is not even on par with the true purpose of free speech and serves as a lame example. Lying slandering or libeling someone also should be immune from prosecution. There’s only one form of free speech and none of us have it.
You should able to say you want to kill someone as well without being prosecuted for the words or sentiment…president included. Words are only words and no one should be prosecuted for them. Actions are the only things which should constitute legal offenses and be subject to arrest or action by the government. No one follows the true letter and spirit of the Constitution because it’s too damn vague. It needs clarification. It needs a Convention.
