CNN Glenn Beck transcript 4-17-07 by Ted Nugent

Buck you can live in your excuses but attaining a hand gun permit and having the balls to carry a gun on you at all times is a sort of graduation into real Federalism and American Constervatism.

I couldn’t find the quote where Ted said .. something like this and i was rof.. ” YOu people are nuts to leave your house without a gun with all the whackos running around shooting people and blowing up public areas..”

Anyone lacking a criminal background can get a CHL. Fail the background check and it’s impossible to get one. I discovered there is much more to it than obtaining the license and holstering my firearm under a garment. The legal, tactical, safety, and many other concerns require study and practice beyond the certification. Not to mention regular shooting that takes a certain amount of financial commitment. I agree that more Americans should take responsibility for their own protection. It’s good to have at least a fighting chance against the criminals our society requires us to live with.

If more “citizens” carried, these massacres would end very quickly and over time probably end all together.

These nutjobs in every case have some “prey on the innocent” psychosis – but if they new 4 of 10 people were armed they wouldn’t see society as toothless.

Just one armed customer or shopkeeper could have spared much suffering….

You seem to be disregarding the thousands upon thousands (maybe millions) of people antidepressants have helped over the years, that you’ll never read about because we are leading normal lives, not shooting up shopping malls. Don’t buy into the lawyer-driven hysteria that antidepressants turn unsuspecting psychiatric patients into raving lunatics. It’s just a truckload of Tom Cruise style BS.

ABC News has confirmed with two sources that the gun used at Westroads Mall was an SKS-style assault rifle with two magazines taped together found at the scene.

An SKS is a semi-auto rifle, which explains the rapid-fire shooting. And the 7.62×39 round has lots more firepower than a .22

I am seriously concerned that antidepressants could actually be causing more harm than good.

I am familiar with the mental health system due to my line of work. I am only speaking from personal experience. The push has been on now for many years to empty all the state hospitals,, “to free the captives” I actually heard a man say,, to place in the community both the severe mentally retarded and severe mentally ill.

I was raised in a Northeast blue state family, but “took the red pill”, left the matrix (the brainwashing and deception of the Democrat party) and have been a red state Republican ever since.

That would certainly explain it. You’re a lot closer to the source than I am. The ‘hiding under the bench’ part is what made me suspect that he had a guilty conscience.

my wild-ass guess would be that Bus Stop Guy had outstanding warrants on him, and–not knowing what was going on inside–thought the police were coming for him when they showed up. (They found him trying to hide under a bench, sticking out like a sore thumb, according to witnesses.) It’s just a theory, but it’s not entirely unreasonable. Hopefully they’ll fill in the blanks on that soon.

I was listening to the press conference on the radio and from what the police said they detained some people that fit the descriptions they were given by witnesses. My understanding is that this person was wearing a camouflage jacket and the police were told the shooter was wearing camouflage.

I don’t agree. He knew exactly what he was doing and why. He wanted to be famous. He wanted to go out with style and with today’s media he got his wish. These days the fast track to fame and into the history books is to do something spectacular. He also gets a twofer with this as laws may be changed which will restrict our freedoms but not hinder the likes of him in the least. His name goes into the history books and society may change for the foreseeable future.

You could be correct. There are those in this world where the word “evil” is quite the appropriate title. This guy may have very well been a monster at heart and he unleashed the beast within him today.

This is scary because we took a shortcut through Nebraska when moving to Idaho and stored our guns since they don’t recognize our CCW. Always fear something like this happening when I don’t have my gun.

I heard this was a black man that did this. Is that true and if so the media will not indulge that info readily.

Earlier they showed pictures of a guy wearing camos getting arrested outside the mall at a bus stop, so I’d call that pretty readily divulged. Since the authorities say there was only one shooter inside the mall, my wild-ass guess would be that Bus Stop Guy had outstanding warrants on him, and–not knowing what was going on inside–thought the police were coming for him when they showed up. (They found him trying to hide under a bench, sticking out like a sore thumb, according to witnesses.) It’s just a theory, but it’s not entirely unreasonable. Hopefully they’ll fill in the blanks on that soon.

Uh, he’s whiter than the pure wind driven snow.

Yakko, thanks for the well wishes, we got through and everyone is fine.

I’ll be flip and course to say it,: how long before the libs try to tie this event into President Bush not knowing about the contents of the NIE report?

Hell I wouldn’t put it past the BDS crowd to claim it was Booooshitler’s foreign policy that drove this nut job to do what he did.

As others have noted, why do these unstable people insist on taking other innocent people with them, thus destroying the lives of not only the people they murder in cold blood, but also destroying the lives of the victim’s family and friends as well. It’s just incomprehensible to me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims, as for the monster that did this, may he rot in HELL!!
