There is much that I would love to say on this subject Uncle Apple. But I will refrain and just say that I feel bad for the family members. I wish them the very best.

Beyond sad, nothing worse then when those who serve are taken from us on our own soil.

It's sad, both for the family members and the nation as a whole.  It's just hard to imagine what causes someone to wake up one morning and ruin the lives of others.

To leave the bravest among us defenseless is a tragedy in itself.

To add insult to injury we have no flags flying half-mast.

Our prez could light up the whitehouse like a rainbow, but not lower flags.

This is 25 minutes from home. Our flags are at half mast. We don't need that jack leg to tell us to.

Out F'ingrageous!  One of those Marine heroes was from a local high school!  Our Governor is going to fly the flags half staff.  Our country has been so degraded under this presidency.  Its sad.  There's also no return.  So sad.

Oh don't get me started brother Ozzie. I have had a real hard time holding my tongue. You are correct, they didn't waste any time with that rainbow nonsense. How humiliating.

I could go on and on but as @sgh said I will refrain due to respect for my fallen brothers. My god save there souls.

bgebrent

@SGH and @badinfluence, we need you to go on and on!!  Out of respect for our fallen heroes!!  Please do not refrain, that suits president puditat.  Please do not refrain!  God bless those heroes and their families.

Very sad and senseless. Our soldiers need to be armed when on duty even at a recruitment office. 

badinfluence

@bgebrent...I will not go into it on this forum. I wish they would have let us finish the job in 1991 instead of pulling us out. I know I am going to hell for what I had to do over there and I have accepted that. I relive this almost every night, and the 4th of July is damn sure no celebration for me. 

It it is sad to know these men were sitting ducks with no way to defend themself from yet ANOTHER Muslim radical. 

I can only pray for them and there family.

I'm tired of seeing that picture of the smirking cowardly shooter.

Brother I would probably get banned for life if I spoke my mind. There are a few things that I really don't tolerate at all. That nimrod that shot our soldiers easily falls into his category. He is very fortunate that I'm not in command of the military. Him, his family and all of relatives would be vaporized immediately and without hesitation. There are something's that just shouldn't be tolerated. And this is one of them.

He is a piece of $hit.

@badinfluence, I understand brother. Maybe. You are not going to hell!!  You are another hero!!  No doubt our foreign policy was a failure.  You were not!!  I can't tell you how much I admire you and the men around you.  If what you did condemns you to hell then I want to hold your hand on the way in!  You and your comrades are heroes!

badinfluence

@bgebrent I am no hero. My brothers and sisters still there are the heroes. None should have to go thru that hell.

Just lets everyone pray they all make it home safe.

bgebrent

@badinfluence, you are a hero as are your brothers and sisters in country.  Please come to Ga and visit us.  I believe you are a hero and someone between me and a jihadist.  I can't tell you how much I respect our men and women in arms.  You included.  Please come visit us in Atlanta.  Pm me brother.  Thank you for your service!!

Hey, so recently Trump caught a lot of grief from saying McCain is not a hero, because all he did was get caught, and he prefers the guys that don't get caught, yada yada.  All the GOP who are movin' and groovin' raised up with indignation!  Yeah brother!  (except Ted Cruz). 

I love how everyone got behind the veterans on this.   They deserve it for serving.  So where were all these people when SBVT attacked John Kerry?  I think McCain stood up for him but it was a disgraceful attack, right?  Especially since it's all been debunked.  shame.  shame.  shame.  shame.

The way things are going. I believe anyone who is in service  and wearing a uniform should have the option to carry heat. It seems now that while wearing the uniform makes one a target. 

Chubbs

Like @SGH I cannot speak my mind on this forum. This country is in trouble under current leadership. That is all I will say. I hope the families of the fallen soldiers find peace

The way things are, EVERYONE should carry.
Heart goes out to those impacted.  
Sadly, was simply a matter of time before this sh!t showed up on our turf.

Everyone carrying is an excellent solution to over-population.  I concur.

I can't believe that there are conservative people who don't carry. If you are a honest, hardworking conservative, I feel that you should be armed at all times. You never know when a pack of rabid liberals is right around the corner just waiting on the opportunity to loot and wreak havoc on the honest and hardworking people of society. As long as I can draw breath I will be armed. If you are a conservative, you should be armed as well. Above you said everyone should carry. I would like to make one change to that verse. Every conservative should carry.

If I'm not at work or church, I'm armed.

It's going to be a banner year for the Darwin awards....

Depending on location, I'm usually armed at these as well.

Gotta love going to a church where our Men's ministry has a monthly Bible Study at a gun range!!!!

Ya'll come on down to the Southside of Atlanta and have some fun!

I'm trying to get the owner of the range to buy a large format printer so people can bring in pictures of WHOEVER they want printed up on a target....  I think that'd be fun!  Shooting your nemesis NFL team logo, or your crazy ex....  That could be therapeutic!

I feel like all military recruiters should be carrying concealed. An ankle rig would be the best bet to conceal in in uniform. Marine dress uniforms do not really allow an IWB carry without showing.

Focker

Being a big guy, I print often, and don't even care anymore. 

Open carry should be part of the uniform.
