    Perhaps Oklahoma should consider banning parades.

    Nothing like glorifying in the death of four people and the injuries of dozens of others to blab on about guns when they had nothing to do with it...



    Why would you think that only guns were used for mass murder? MOD EDIT - Rule 3

    Now it has nothing to do with the weapon of choice???

    Interesting. I'll remember that in the future.

    Why do you only concern yourself and demand the tool of choice be outlawed only when it's a gun?

    where is your demand for "car free zones", or banning parades like your demand for gun free zones and banning guns after Oregon shooting?

    And cars. And drinking. And college. And homecoming. And football. If for none of those things, this senseless killing would never have had happened.

    point is, a mass murderer doesn't need guns to mass murder.... ask the swordsman in Sweden, or the OSU homecoming crowd

    A logical person would be equally outraged over this incident or someone shooting 4 people. But NOPE, Liberals will sweep this under the rug with nary a concern. This is obviously far more tragic than 1 loser gang banger getting shot by a cop, but we KNOW we won't be hearing about this in a week. Who's taking bets?

    So, when Liberals complain about the violence that leads to death, why is the type of violence they abhor, so predictable?

    what a shock. A gun-rights advocate taking a tragedy and using it to score cheap political points.

    you mean only gun control advocate is allowed to use that tactic in order to take guns and gun rights activists are forbidden from doing the same?

    I notice mr Potus certainly made Oregon tragedy about gun control within hours of it happening

    - - - Updated - - -

    being killed by gun = more dead apparently, than if they are killed by sword in Sweden's case, or killed by car, here.

    I am fairly pro-gun as I have several myself but I can understand the rationale behind those against guns - their only purpose is to kill or maim- sure they can be used for sport but they are inherently a device used for destruction.

    That said I believe the benefits of being armed outweigh the drawbacks - but something needs to be done to keep them out of the hands of those wishing to cause mass fatalities.

    As for the op, people that kill others under the influence should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

    I was correct, your OP was to use the deaths of four people to make a statement about gun control....and go off topic on other issues...


    Find someone else to carry on your imaginary fight.....I own guns, NO one has ever tried to take them away and I doubt they ever will...

    You're confusing me with someone who cares about the whining of the gun worshippers.........

    Can you explain the difference between that state's second degree murder statute and other states' manslaughter statutes since this distinction is important?

    Yeah the OP stooped to new lows by bringing in the gun debate which is completely non sequitur.

    This seems like a straight up DUI homicide, not sure why they are taking the extreme route.

    But in hoplophobia land, if it had been a gun used, then it would certainly be all about that.

    I see, hoplophobes are bigoted in their selective rage over the tool of choice for mass murder.

    So what is the "something" you advocate for?

    We can't read everyone's mind yet, so how do we keep anything out of the hands of anyone "wishing" to do something harmful and not trample everyone else's rights in the process?

    but yet, your gun control agenda when it happened in Oregon is ok?

    - - - Updated - - -

    and I was correct in your gun grab agenda whenever it's a shooting that kills multiple people, but silence whenever it's not a gun

    - - - Updated - - -

    I haven't understood why they chose MURDER vs DUI Manslaughter, or something like that.

    Whatever the distinction, the cops feel this may have been a more on purpose attack, vs just losing control while drinking.

    - - - Updated - - -

    but it's ok when the potus politicizes gun control in the aftermath of mass shootings? Why is he quiet on mass car-ings?

    I have to agree , the people complaining don't have a problem when it's used in the opposite way. Now about the charges, unless she meant to drive into the crowd killing people I think they need to stop using murder in these situations.

    She doesn't seem all that concerned in the mug shot.

    This woman should never see the light of day as a free person for the rest of her remaining days...one of those killed was a two year old. Can you imagine the parents of this child and the grief they will endure for the rest of their lives because someone drank an excessive amount of booze and chose to get behind the wheel.
    If this was an intentional act...?

    Does Oklahoma have the death penalty?
