sarasota2 said on July 25, 2011 at 8:18 PM

so wait a minute.. you dumb idiots want to live in a place where cops and criminals carry weapons but law abiding, honest citizens are not allowed to? what is going through your dumb small minds?? people kill people, not guns. for gods sake. would you like to see another holocaust happen where good people cant protect their families and have basic rights. this country was founded by good people, with protection and patriotism in mind and I have no intention of sitting back and watching some angry, unreasonable mom flip out because OMG a gun was used... guess what they are EVERYWHERE and I bet if you knew who was packin as you walked down the street youd wish you were too!! think about that when you tuck your kids in at night and ask yourselves what you would do if someone tried to come into your home and kill them... i bet you wouldnt hate the idea of owning a gun thats locked in a safe right then would you?? stop being stupid people!

STOP BLAME ON THE GUN. THE GUN CAN NOT SHOOT BY ITSELF. IF THEY ARE OUT THERE WITH INTENTION TO KILL, THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO KILL.

I'd get a concealed weapon permit, but I can't carry where I spend most of my time, at work or the local watering hole, so, what's the point?

stryker said on July 25, 2011 at 6:53 AM

Im CCW also. Your not allowed to carry in the casinos, they are 21 and over only which by state law puts them off limits.

vffrwm said on July 25, 2011 at 5:26 AM

Had someone else there had a weapon this guy might have got one but not all of the people he shot. With all the bangers and crazys out there you HAVE to have a weapon for personal protection with you at all times. I know my wife and I do. I made it through a tour in Viet Nam and I'm a cancer survivor, no crazy is going to take me out just because he's having a bad day.

vffrwm said on July 25, 2011 at 5:24 AM

And what was this guys name??

Rigid_Principle said on July 24, 2011 at 10:19 PM

Hopefully all of these recent shootings are encouraging responsible Americans to purchase more guns for their personal protection and the protection of others. The shootings with little to no resistance will continue until the criminals realize the odds are a responsible gun carrying American will be nearby. It is up to responsible Americans to instill this fear into those criminals who wish to infringe on our individual, inherent rights.

freedomfrank said on July 24, 2011 at 9:21 PM

People think its a joke when we say "you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers" I've had guns all my life and have never ever pointed it at someone. Well,, except the cat but she just sniffed the barrel and walked away. She wasn't afraid of it at all.

sargemcc said on July 24, 2011 at 9:09 PM

There are over 80 million conceal carry permitted Americans, none of whom committed a crime in the last few days, (if ever). I'm one of them. Don't even consider trying to take my God given right to self defense away. And there are more people who are law abiding who don't have CCW permits.

freedomfrank said on July 24, 2011 at 9:03 PM

Let me clarify,, that was from "preventable" deaths,,, on CDC's website homicide was like 15th on the list , more people die of the flu and septicemia (infections I think my wife said, needed a bit of help with that one)

freedomfrank said on July 24, 2011 at 8:52 PM

Lets remember folks,, there are over 300 million people in this country. Do some research,,, death by guns is right in front of STD's Smoking and being a fat lazy couch potato lead the pack and makes being shot to death pale in comparison. If the government cares about "preventable" death they will outlaw smoking, being over weight and driving cars.

freedomthinker said on July 24, 2011 at 6:59 PM

(sigh) its not guns it is people. blaming guns for shootings is every bit as intelligent as blaming pens and pencils (or a camera) for the lies of politicians. a gun is a tool, nothing more. it takes an operator to make it work

djan555 said on July 24, 2011 at 5:50 PM

gee guns again,why are we as a nation so fixated on owning the stupid things. i bet this wont be the last time, i read about gun violence. death seems to be the only american pass time,. lately...

collegekid said on July 24, 2011 at 4:40 PM

I am in absolute shock of the massive outbreak in violence this past week...

jarhead22 said on July 24, 2011 at 4:12 PM

doneaton.. you mean that gun laws don't stop lawbreakers? I thought the answer to all our problems would be bigger, better gun laws! I just don't understand why bad guys don't pay attention to gun free zone signs and all the laws that tell them that they can't have guns! Maybe if we just gave them a hug all would be better - I'm sure their mommy didn't hug them and that's what all the violence stems from.

underserf said on July 24, 2011 at 3:54 PM

Many of these scum?!? What's the odds this guy is some pasty, balding white guy? Thugs I know - my neighbors mostly - don't play keno at the bar...

justjack said on July 24, 2011 at 3:33 PM

That's 18 people in two days !! With the courts clogged up as they are and with plea bargains gone wide to save money and work the shooters will probably end up doing community service. Eye for an Eye baby - you shoot me I shoot you - period !!

doneaton said on July 24, 2011 at 2:38 PM

Maybe our legislators could stop hyperventilating long enough to pass a law that prohibits the underage and felons from possessing firearms. That would stop all this. Wait a minute…we already have 50,000 gun laws on the books!! May I suggest that we ENFORCE them? And stop plea bargaining to reduce mandatory sentencing for those caught, tried and convicted for violating them. Bad people don’t care about laws.

wiseone08 said on July 24, 2011 at 2:23 PM

Thank you for attending todays "Do The Math Event". Headline.."Seven Wounded...". Let's count... the girlfriend(1), her two sisters(2 and 3), the guy she was with(4), and finally, according to the article, two people at random(5 and 6). Hmmm, ok. Lol.

lsmith5870400119 said on July 24, 2011 at 1:45 PM

Doesn't seem random. He had a gun because he was looking to shoot someone. The guy was obviously nuts and a poor shot to boot.

charleylechein said on July 24, 2011 at 1:36 PM

Did KING5 or the AP write this story? But I will have to say, the casino is closer to SEATTLE than the baseball team called the MARINERS...... Reading the article, I thought the casino where the shootings happened might have been at TULALIP or ANGEL OF THE WINDS because they might be CLOSER to SEATTLE (after all SEATTLE PREMIUMS MALL is on the TULALIP reservation).... NO reflection on the TULALIPS is intended, good or bad. So, whats the determination or determination of "near SEATTLE"?

starteck81 said on July 24, 2011 at 1:13 PM

@justaguy1267, Not to mention they are under guard and they still kill each other.

dakotanative said on July 24, 2011 at 1:09 PM

If no one had a gun, no one would get shot. If no one had a car, no one woukd die in car crashes. No airplanes, no aviation deaths. Let's get rid of all that stuff and we will all be safe. Right!

MrkymrkWA said on July 24, 2011 at 1:00 PM

Looks like someone had their "Muckleshoot Moment"!

hawkfan2 said on July 24, 2011 at 12:56 PM

by "south PS", I mean Auburn, Tacoma, Olympia, Kent

hawkfan2 said on July 24, 2011 at 12:53 PM

Southern Puget Sound seems to be having a violence increase...while violence can happen anywhere, glad I don't live down there. Another reason real estate and cost of living is cheaper down there as well

deepsee said on July 24, 2011 at 12:28 PM

Seems like someone is getting shot almost every day...

southside253 said on July 24, 2011 at 12:20 PM

Doesn't surprise me. Lots of broke punks at the muckleshoot trying to pick up middle age married women...Time to close down the Mucks. It has only brought the community crime and traffic headaches. Teach Native people trade skills, shut down the gambling and promoting of binge drinking. You reap what you sow.

justaguy1267 said on July 24, 2011 at 12:09 PM

Going to prison these days is a badge of honor and a right of passage for many of these scum. They are glorified with "street cred" Guns are not allowed in bars, clubs or casinos. Us law abiding, responsible gun owners all know that and live by it. In crimes of passion such as this, if this guy hadn't had a gun, he would have used a knife or anything else he could get his hands on. There are no guns in prison and murders happen all the time. When there is a will, there is a way.

wiseone08 said on July 24, 2011 at 11:39 AM

Hey, I heard there was a low-rider car show at the Muckle"shoot" next weekend, Music by a hip hop group! Sponsored waste management, the garbage hauling experts.

freedomfrank said on July 24, 2011 at 11:37 AM

Criminals having guns is one of the evils that go along with the right to keep and bear arms that was necessary for the survival of our country. Its too late to just take everyones guns away because then just criminals will have guns. The solution is harsh prison terms for those who inflict and entice violence on the rest of us. We need to keep the bleeding heart judges off the bench and get the ACLU out of our prisons. Its pretty apparent our prison system in this country is no deterrent to crime. If prison was indeed a punishment for committing a crime then lets start punishing people who commit crimes.

seattlenatvmike said on July 24, 2011 at 10:57 AM

I was being sarcastic. In a perfect world everyone armed would have the emotional maturity to know when not to use it. Unofrtunately emotional maturity seems to be scarce these days.

passiveguy said on July 24, 2011 at 9:55 AM

Yeah Kent, where people just got shot at that car show. The problem IS, people are "packing"!!!!! If he didn't have a gun, noone woul have got shot! Because of people with your mentality, people should be sporting bullett proof vests!

seattlenatvmike said on July 24, 2011 at 9:41 AM

and the answer is everyone should be packing :)

tugthug said on July 24, 2011 at 9:31 AM

Auburn is close to Kent, Federal Way, Black Diamond, but not Seattle!

freedomfrank said on July 24, 2011 at 9:18 AM

This place is going down the drain fast,,,,

goodness1329 said on July 24, 2011 at 9:11 AM

Near Seattle??
