They gave the assclown 28 years for that...and this is why we have a problem. They should have given him 24 hours to get his affairs in order before they hung him for 1st degree murder.

If they actually got serious about prosecution for serious offenses, the law-breakers would think twice before doing idiotic acts...

Instead, they get sent away to the "house" where they have 3 squares, a gym, internet access, cable tv and all the sex they want and all the kiddies in the neighborhood glorify them as some sort of dieties.

Just gave a loser Ahole in Seattle 28yrs for exactly that. He was trying to shoot another guy across the street and executed a father driving a mini-van. Blew his brains out right in front of his wife and children while waiting at a stop light downtown. Oh and guess what? Gang member with a rap sheet as long as his arm. When will be ever learn.

Round up all gang members, put them in a walled arena, and let them kill each other off. They are worthless scum who contribute nothing to society.
 
Better idea...drop those gangsta douchebags into the middle-east hotspots and let them see what real hate is all about.

Looking all 'badass", posing and waving a 9mm will last about 30 seconds there...
 
Carrying a hand gun and actually "hitting" something are three different things, THEN factor in movement and the target shooting back and all bets are off.
In Vietnam, even with training, the average was in the neighborhood of 2000 - 3000 rounds for every KIA.
While I keep the Kel-Tec in the nightstand the 20ga Mosberg autoloader iis handy in the closet using 3in #6 shot.
 
Basically my FNH FNX .45 in my night table will allow me to get to my Mossberg 930SPX with 7rds of buckshot and a side saddle with 6 more rds.

If I unlimbered the autoloader in there, it would have covered just about every square inch of wall in there...

My Autoloader is a Remington version of the Belgian Browning squareback, military issue and has a delightful rate of fire...

i didnt say you....i dont doubt you...or probably anyone here in this thread would have hit their target(s). we look at guns as something more than a status symbol....and enjoy shooting and practice at it. i would be willing to bet, with the exception of that shoot out, that none of those jabroonies had ever fired more than 20 rounds in their life...much less had any training except for maybe playing grand thieft auto on the game console.
 
I've never shot at someone and hope like hell that I never have too. But I won't make a statement that I can unequivocally hit a human target during a shootout. I'm not a big hunter by any stretch of the imagination, but have hunted everything from small birds to small game. Adrenalin is a wonderful thing and unless you practice ALOT (and I don't mean once a week or twice a month), target shooting is NOT the same. You can teach muscle reaction, but shooting another live animal (let alone another human shooting back at you) is indescribable. I cannot imagine the maginitude that ratchets up when shooting at another human, so I'll defer to those who have done it.

Not to worry, the reply was more in keeping with the idea that these idiots were yelling and waving thier pistols around like a bunch of idiots and fortunatly did NOT have a shotgun. A short barrel shotgun would certainly cast a broad pattern and do terrible damage at close range.

My comment was more along the lines of me clearing the room of dumbasses in about 3 rounds with the aforementioned autoloader.

In a situation like that, a person will have tremendous amounts of adrenalin coupled with the "flight or fight" reflex, so everything is going to be perceived in a chaotic way. That video pretty much sums up what happens in a sitaution where there's no training, no control and a heartrate of a hummingbird pumping (like a jackhammer) all that adrenalin.

Apparently (according to that video) unless you are in a bar, drunk, and stoopid would a person repeatedly go back in for another shot. If I made it out with gunfire going off all around me and I still had my health, I would be nothing but azzhole and elbows running down the street.
