OHCHUTE 0 #3 March 20, 2013 Your subject matter title is misleading and and so are quotes in the article. It's a tad early to make assumptions that the victim was targeted because of who he was or any position he had on guns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewEckhardt 0 #4 March 20, 2013 Quotehttp://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/20/us-usa-colorado-shooting-idUSBRE92J0K920130320 Maybe a liberal did it - lots have told me that if they had a gun they'd shoot some one. Maybe it was a former prisoner. Various studies show that 80-90% of murderers have prior criminal records and the Uniform Crime Reports show that 8% of them are juveniles who by definition cannot have adult criminal records.

ryoder 1,381 #5 March 20, 2013 It is a closely held secret that here in CO, the executive director of the Dept of Corrections, is also in charge of all gun legislation. But apparently the gun advocates have figured that out. "There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Great, we now know how much distance there is between you and honesty In fairness to the OP, the Reuters story linked in the OP does describe it as a possible targeted killing due possibly to the eve of the signing of the gun law - so he's really just repeating what the story says. In fairness to you, I saw nothing in the Reuters story that reflected any evidence of that conclusion other than speculation. So, I checked out some other MSM stories, and they refrained (I think properly) from making the same presumption, even citing some other tough decisions he'd made in office that might have given someone a grudge. Reuters is a very well-respected, established international news agency. I'm frankly surprised and disappointed the editors would have allowed the story to have been published that way.
