I got an email from this organization this morning which I do quite often and I went ahead and voted and thought I would post the results of the poll here. This is the email I received. Douglas: Following the horrific shootings in Texas and Ohio, some lawmakers are talking about passing a federal "red flag" gun confiscation law that would allow people who think you're a threat to petition a court to have the government take your guns away. Please click here to tell us if you support such a law. Several Republican senators have expressed support for this idea provided that it is written properly, but we want your opinion. Thanks for giving us your feedback and for doing so much to help send conservative leaders to Washington.

Now you know why I posted what I did earlier about the rewards. These people throw big numbers out there hoping to get a bunch of help from the public but I have not heard of anyone actually recievng what has been promised. That is why I said there is a 95.9 % chance if the people would have walked up and handed him to them gift wrapped they would not see any of the reward. What they are doing now is looking at all the ways possible to not have to pay those folks anything and they deserve every dime of it!!!!

I'm just glad he is no longer on the loose and back in custody. People can breath a sigh of relief now and the new medias can move on to other stuff...JMHO

I also thought if the patron was packing and didn't have his carry permit on his person he was packing illegally also. I always have my permit on me when ever I carry my firearm. My guess would be he didn't have a permit in the first placeand should not have been packing........JMHO

Ok, thanks for explaining it to me. I have always been wondering exactly what the anti-gun people were talkinng about when they wanted Universal Back ground checks when I knew I had a back ground check done on me with every purchase I made at a licensed gun store. I don't think a lot of states are going to want to pick up that program but I could be wrong. Probably the ones with more Democrats with Governors in them might.........JMHO

So ok! from what I have gathered from reading posts here they believe that Universal Background Checks are primarily designed to close the loop hole in the sales of guns from one person to another and not purchased at a licensed Gun store where back ground checks are done? Is that correct? I also did some research and found that 82% of all guns used in mass shootings where purchased legally from licensed gun dealers and back ground checks were run on the person prior to them getting the guns. So that means that Universal Background Checks are going after the other 18% of buyers that buy a gun from an individual without a back ground check. Is that correct or am I missing something?

I have had 55 gallon aquariums in the past and also had a king size waterbed at the same time but they were on seperate ends of the house and not on the second level. Never had issues with the fish tank but in a 2 year period the water bed caused the outside wall of the house to seperate from the floor and had to have AFS come out and put the house back together and add re-enforcement to the flooring where the water bed was. I sure do miss my water bed these days but don't need one that big. Been looking at getting another Super single one for this house as it is an all concrete floor so will not have a problem with weight. As far as putting your big fish tank on second floor I would definately have a structural engineer look at it and let him make the decision on if it will be safe or not.............JMHO

Why was RED Flags not flying when they saw Watson on a golf cart at the home of Johnson when he is suppose to be on work detail??????? Sounds a lot like he might have had help from employees from Prison.......JMHO I totally agree with you 1000% and like I said. I think he had inside help and a very sorry judge and prosecutor that would have taken any form of plea deal but should have put him away till his body art melted in an ink blob.

Well that kind of happened in the case of the Sheriffs Deputy case. The killing happened in 1982 and the trial was in 1983. It was 3 brothers involved and the shooter got life in prison and the other 2 got 25 years. The prosecution wanted the death sentence but didn't get it. As it turned out the shooter didn't serve life but got paroled in 23 years and his brothers earlier than that. The people involved that lost their family member deputy did everything they could to keep him in prison but he got released anyway. That was a terrible injustice to all of the family and the people that testified in the case.

I was thinking along those same lines. He will want to get out of the area as fast as possible and he planned his escape long before he ever got assigned to the honor farm detail outside the walls/fence and was waiting for just the right time. They have his face and body art on every form of news medias in this area for people locally to see. The authorities have not have one comfirmed sighting of him so far. That tells me he is long gone from this area and probably had help from some family that was suppose to be in the area. If I was the FBI I would put lots of Bounty Hunters on him and not the nice ones that will bring him in alive but the kind that will bring him in period. I know a couple of them and I would not want them hunting me cause I know I would be room temperature when I was delivered to the FBI. Maybe even packed in Ice.

Ok, so I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer so I have to ask stupid questions but when ever I went into a gun store to purchase a firearm I went through a background check before I could buy the gun. If we already have background checks what back ground checks are these politicians wanting that is not already being done??? Are they wanting DNA tests to prove you are who you say you are or Blood tests like you get when they do a blood/alcohol and DUI stop????

I know someone it happened to. The person did everything except take the TBI to the front door of the killers of a Deputy Sheriff and there was a $10,000.00 reward for information leading to the killers arrest. The person even testified in the case for the prosecution and when it came down to getting the reward he got zip and was told Thank you for doing your civic duty for the people in your community. That is why I wonder how many people actually get the rewards that are promised.

How many people think they will actually pay a $52,000.00 reward even if someone handed him up to them on a gold platter all wrapped in rope much less just information leading to his capture???

If Biden gets elected you can bet there will be a run on double Barrel Shotguns cause that is what he likes to shoot according to back when he was VP under Obama..............

Thought I would add this link to make it easier for folks to learn more about GOA. https://gunowners.org/

Better an AK/AR than a C-4 belt. You can stop 1 but not much chance of stopping the other if a person is determind to do a mass murder and has no plans to live through it!!! If one of the officers did shoot and hit a bystander, if he had not been firing at the bad guy chances are the bystander would have been killed by the shooter anyway...........JMHO

I wish they would have elaborated more on how he managed to get the gun from the Security officer. The guy brought a knife to a gun fight and won!! How often does that happen???

I'm a member of GOA and no longer a member of the NRA for about a year now. I still keep getting emails from the NRA. They have told me about 30+ times that my menbership is about to expire and it has been renewed for 24 hours. It has been renewed for 24 hours about 30 times also and all that tells me is they are getting desperate to get members back that they have lost. I get emails about things the GOA is working on in DC often and they seem to be staying busy working for gun owners and 2nd Amendment issues.

I think the reason they posted his tatoo's is because most people will look at a persons body art before they even look at their face. Plus he could shave the beard and maybe add a ball cap but it's not easy doing much with body art to imediately change your appearence. As far as why he is still breathing air. Probably because no one has had him in their sights yet. I may have missed it but is there a reward or bounty on him yet?

Yea, they were just phising for more reasons to blame the police for not killing him quicker and creating a place to put more blame on someone and open up another can of worms that don't need to be opened.........JMHO

When the news medias run out of news they are quick to make something up to keep the shooting on the front page as long as possible. Don't focus on the fact that the Police were very quick to stop what could have been a whole lot worse and try to find fault with the fact that he even got 1 shot off before being killed.

I think a lot of this refers back to that old expression "If you see something or hear something say something!" Most people like that woman in San Bernadino back several years ago. She could hear things but didn't want to get involved and it cost many lives by keeping quiet. The manifesto from the El Paso shooter was released just shortly before he went on the shooting spree but with all the hatred that person had in him I would be willing to bet he had talked with family or friends about his feelings and they either didn't believe he was serious or they didn't think he would do something like that. Still in all, if he did talk about it with anyone they should have told someone about his feelings. There are many people that are upset with the influx of Hispanic people flooding into our country but his actions is not and never will be the answer to the problem............JMHO

They keep throwing around the statements about Mental Health Professionals needing to be a big part of fixing the problem. I do agree with that but these professionals will expect to be paid for their services and since the insurance industry is in total dissary and so many Americans don't have insurance where is the money going to come from to pay these professionals. I'm sure they will not just jump up and volunteer to do it Pro-Bono like some attorneys do. And then you have these people like the Dayton Shooter. According to police he never even got a parking ticket. I think it is very strange that he would open fire in a crowd knowing his sister and a friend where in the place and he ended up shooting and killing her and injuring her friend. If they all arrived together in 1 vehicle how many people think they knew what his plans were? I wonder how much information the friend is going to be able to provide? I would not think they knew his plans and went there knowing his plans to shoot up the place but that is just my opinion. Police have mentioned it once I think that his sister and her friend may have been his targets but not much else has been mentioned about that. I have been saying prayers for everyone affected by both shootings and I would like to say Good Job to the First Responders in Dayton. They save a whole lot of lives with their very fast response to the gun fire.

The shooting in Dayton Ohio lasted about 1 minute before police killed the shooter yet he was able to do a lot of carnage in that 1 minute. They said the shooter was wearing body armor but police were able to kill him in one minute. That was a very fast response by police and a job well done. That also does show one thing. Regardless of how fast the shooter is neutralized, it is not fast enough to save everyone!!......JMHO

I guess since he willingly surrendered to police they figured he was no longer a threat. He had done what he set out to do and I am willing to bet if he would have tried anything stupid the escort officer would have killed him.....JMHO
