Read that earlier, arguments lead to fight lead to gunplay.
I imagine being strapped makes some people stand their ground when usually they would be stepping.

That's a bit chicken or egg. If you've made the decision to illegally carry a weapon, it suggests you are looking for or expecting trouble. I don't think the tail wags the dog here.

"2 men died trying to shoot each other, police say"


Police say trying? Sounds like they were very successful to me.

Looks like everyone who reads this takes something different from it.

Here's what I see.

One guy with 7 holes, tells me the other guy was shooting his gun 'Gangsta" style on it's side. leading to horizontal stringing.

The shooter with 7 holes was having trouble concentrating on his target ad only managed 3 hits.

They both look like pot users, which leads me to believe pot is a gateway drug to gun violence. Do away with pot and gun violence will disappear.

15 homicides in a civilized city like TO??? Were they all gun related?? Any long guns involved? Any of the shooters have a PAL? Maybe gun control targets the wrong people?

Are you being sarcastic, funny, cynical ?? Not sure. I just know not to step on your toes. Just like the jungle some of us have "free rain".

Voluntary removal from the gene pool.
Saves the taxpayers a lot of money to boot.

Win-Win situation.

All of the above.

Everyone has free rain. It's how you use it that counts.

Same social circle covers a lot of ground, same gang but not friends, play darts on Thursdays, buy drugs from same guy, part of RC airplane club, easier to say than description of actual relationship. Plus it avoids glorifying this crap by IDing what gang they were in or if they were in rival gangs etc,

I needed something that rhymed with beer. Maybe not all liberals would be upset by this story.

What is with all the code speak? "Same friend group". Next thing we will here is that these waste of skin types are part of some
"alternative life benevolent society".

I'm sure they saved taxpayers a ton of money prosecuting and housing them over the next few decades.

I hope not too many tax dollars are spent trying to stop future recurrances of events such as this.

Colonel Jeff Cooper called that the Good Riddance Factor.
When one bad guy shoots another bad guy it shouldn't go into the stats of murder by firearm.

Now that you point it out, 7 holes and 3 holes is darn good straight shooting compared to most media-reported gunfights. Wonder where these two cuties picked up their skill set...

They must have been lurkers on AO because they both knew that that placement is important when using small caliber firearms
