UPDATE: Father was decorated Iraq veteran and officer.:
I don't care if he is a decorated officer who served in Iraqu. The more relavent point is that he is a guy who shot his 14 year old step daughter. That is not okay!
To state a fact about the shooter is not to excuse the action. It is pertinent, I believe, because his combat experience is where and how he learned about guns and became proficient. What else may have been a factor, remains to be seen.
Another young life snuffed out. I don't think there's any political advantage to be gained here. Just unopened presents under the tree and a very sad Dad who probably wishes he could trade places with her. Try to have some compassion, will you?
Well said.
Completely agree, Ralphie. Must say these recent tragedies haven't been the finest hour for many of those on either side of the gun control debate.
A very sad story. I wonder if it occurred to the dad to ask questions before shooting. But that doesn't bring the 14 year old girl back.
Freaking tragic. Two more lives wrecked by profitable paranoia. The daughter's…and her father's.
Sad story. I don't know the statistics, but it seems as if a high percentage of the victims of gun violence in Colorado are those who promote unlimited access to firearms or their families. Darwinism at work?
Zappatero, You give the so-called gun enthusiasts far too much credit for this tragedy. I totally disagree with this statement of yours:
The NRA, with the help of local politicians and radical partisans, has glorified the gun culture and ramped up the paranoia of citizens to the point where this type of tragedy is a regular occurence. That's not to say accidents like this could or would never happen, but the gun rights side consistently stretches the truth, browbeats politicians, and perverts the political process to make sure of one thing: there are more guns in the hands of more people who are more inclined to use them at the drop of a hat. – See more at: http://coloradopols.com/diary/52793/guns-gone-wild-springs-father-kills-14-yr-old-step-daughter#comments
This step-father was a decorated combat soldier who had served in Iraq. I think it is unconscionable to use a tragedy to further your own political agenda, without knowing anymore about the circumstances.
I had a strong opinion, also, about this tragedy. However, I hope that we all can observe a respectful silence until the facts are more apparent.
