Days after three Muslim students in North Carolina were killed execution-style by a neighbor, the Associated Press reported on Friday that the suspect, Craig Stephen Hicks, had more than a dozen weapons and an ammunition stockpile.

So what??? He could have 1200 guns…it’s what he does with them that matters..

I have guns too, but for target shooting and home defense only. Would never think of taking another man’s life.

So please clarify. You wouldn’t think of taking another man’s life, but have guns for home defense. Would you or would you not kill someone who invaded your home and intended to do you harm?

His statement was pretty clear. Home defense is a vital thing, and people have every right to self defense. It doesn’t have any relation on wanting to be a murderer, hanging a gun on your hip every waking moment.

^^^Thank you ituri. Shooting someone in self-defense is my last resort. I think the dog in my avatar is a better deterrent than a gun.

just because you kill for sport those you do not like does not mean everyone does

If this a-hole didn’t have a gun…(should never had one in the first place)
Those three people would still be alive and he wouldn’t be spending the rest of his life in prison.

Good point. It’s the “law abiding” folks that somehow come unglued for whatever reason and kill a bunch of people. From what it looks like he didn’t have a criminal record either. I do believe that routinely carrying weapons for no reason is a bad idea. People used to have to show a reason to carry, but that restriction has loosened.

His one statement that IT WAS YOUR RELIGION THAT STARTED THIS MESS is enough proof to me that this was a hate crime and not over parking spot.

Where did you get that info Ed?

I don’t have the link but read it from a reputable source, I’ll see if I can find it.
