Another poster boy for the gun nuts?

Rodriguez, a Navy veteran, went to his neighbors to complain about noise from a party and brought with a video camera, a flashlight, and his handgun. When some people ask what he is doing there, Rodriguez suddenly feels threatened.

"Rodriguez then calls the police and talks to the dispatcher, saying that 'they're going to kill me,' even though the video shows the group of party goers backing away from the man. The prosecuting attorney argued that such language was a clear effort to use 'CHL [concealed-handgun licensing] buzzwords' on the taped police call, echoing words that he presumably learned during a concealed handgun licensing class."

"Mr Danaher, a physical education teacher at Sorters Mill's Elementary school, was survived by his wife Mindy and their daughter Peri, who was 3-years-old at the time of his death."

And why was he allowed to have a gun in the first place?

It just goes to show: In this great nation of ours, if someone comes to your door uninvited, it's best to simply shoot them for trespassing and ask questions later. Better shoot them than be shot. USA! No.1!

Yes allowed. Do you think anyone should be able to have a handgun?

By whom? Obviously the government.

To blame a silly notion of 'gun nuts' is akin to blaming hispanics named Rodrigues.

What makes you think the government should decide who can own a gun?
After all, its who trained him to kill in the first place.
