School board shooting: Clay Duke kills self after pulling gun at meeting

PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- An ex-convict calmly held a school board at gunpoint, complaining about taxes and his wife being fired before shooting at close range as the superintendent begged, "Please don't."

Minutes earlier, the room had been filled with students accepting awards, but no one was hurt except the gunman, who shot himself Tuesday after exchanging fire with a security guard, police said.

"It could have been a monumental tragedy," Bay District Schools Superintendent Bill Husfelt said. "God was standing in front of me and I will go to my grave believing that."

So he was convicted of gun charges, yet this FELON had a gun anyway? No, couldn't be. I mean, they told him not to didn't they?

LOL, apparently you don't see the chasm in your already weak argument.

Fyi, the bad guys don't follow the laws. Good people do. And when good people have guns, too, the bad guys are far less likely to pull theirs out.

Saw this video a couple hours ago and was thinking, if one or two law abiding citizens in that meeting were armed, this nut job would have been put down as soon as he pulled out his gun.

Fortunately the guy wasted a bunch of time talking rather than shooting and an armed security guard was able to shoot him before he killed anyone.
 
well, it was a good thing he was ****faced and couldn't aim worth a damn!

No doubt. When I first saw the video, I thought he shot himself in the foot.
 
Also worth noting: The nut-job gunman was angry about taxes being cut. He argues with a board member about recent tax cuts in the video and also rails about being enslaved by the rich on his Facebook page.

Not saying the liberals cause issues like this when they openly wage their class warfare but it certainly doesn’t help.
 
You mean people who want to commit crimes with guns wont pay attention to gun laws? Say it ain't so!

There should be a law against that. :mad:

Finally, someone who gets it.

The Pro-GUN nuts bitch and moan about every little paper they have to fill out. They look for every little loophole, they go to gun shows in states with weak laws...

Thank you Oscar, for explaining it to all the early posters who don't get. The NRA wants to weaken the already weak laws that enable criminals to get guns...

said it before, say it again:

Uh-oh, here it comes...

the only people that gun laws deter from having guns are the people that you don't need to worry about anyway. criminals don't give two ****s about violating gun laws.

In other words, laws only stop people who follow them...

Brilliant!!:roll::roll:

Try to wrap your head around this one... If every bullet were stamped with a identifier that could be traced back to who bought it... If every illegal gun POSSESSION crime carried a FEDERAL sentence... That means all the clowns who a have their secret little stash of full-autos... Give them 60 days to turn them in. If there were a tip line where you could get $$$ for informing on jackasses who sell guns under the table... If all the guns laws that the cops and mayors and federal agents wanted were in place... GET IT???!!

seriously dude, gun laws are freakin worthless. a guy who is going to commit murder, rape, theft, robbery, B&E, etc isn't going to think twice about breaking a gun law.

ONLY in Florida? Because...California doesnt have its share of gun crimes...with its restrictive laws on gun ownership? Because...criminals...felons...that arent allowed to possess firearms legally (just like they arent allowed to possess heroin but manage to score it as well...because...well...criminals...you know...
 
He could have just as easily stabbed himself in the kneck with a pen...

If that had happened, I definitely support a 3 day mandatory waiting period to check criminal backrounds and mental status of the purchaser of pens...

This might be a surprise to some of you that know me, but I am pro-second amendment. I do think there needs to be some things in place but guns don't kill people, idiots kill people... and evidently themselves...

You think the shooter in this case cared about getting caught? He clearly says in the video that he planned to die.
 
This is exactly why we should support citizens having the right to own guns. Someone could have shot him immediately. It only further proves that restricting gun ownership denies good law abiding citizens from owning weapons. Criminals will ignore the law. Anti gun regulation only helps out criminals and denies citizens their Constitutional rights.

Special mouth foaming today. :lamo It's a joy to watch the anti-gun nut hoplophobes blame the guns for the failures of THIER laws....


:failpail:
 
Brilliant! TOTAL lawas against gun ownership would ENSURE that criminals would not be able to have access to them! Just like...

Oh...

OK...never mind...its as stupid to think anti-drug laws are working as anti-gun laws would work.

Lets try enforcing laws on CRIMINAL behavior instead...
 
If the people who commit crimes with guns would obey the law, there would be no need for gun laws. All gun laws do is make it harder for john q public to own a gun to defend themselves from criminals.


the major failing with the gun control nutters is that they make the faulty assumption that criminals will obey gun laws, despite the fact that they break other laws.

So what.. just get rid of all gun laws so everybody including this guy can get them easier?

My family has been affected by a similar story... an ex boyfriend was stalking and harassing a young woman. She moved out of state to get away from him and filed charges. He still managed to gun her down on a highway in the middle of the day with numerous witnesses. He later shot himself and he was barred from owning guns, so how did he get those guns? He inherited them from his father when he died...

Why can't more be done to actually keep checks on those people? More is done to keep pedophiles in check, to make sure they don't own child porn and are staying away from children.. Why can't more be done to make sure crazy people who are threatening to kill other people, don't get guns? Make them wear gps bracelets.. That shouldn't have happened and yet it does, more than it should.

another example of how gun control laws don't keep people from getting guns.

Man, if people want to kill themselves, then they should go ahead and do it without involving other people. Selfish behavior. Though this seems to have little to nothing to do with gun laws. The guy was charged in 1998. It's now 2010. That's 12 years. If there isn't anything else on that record, well it's not really a failure of law. Why do people think that we should infinitely punish people just because they broke a law more than a decade ago? It's baffling.
