I am uncomfortable criticizing a public official for allegedly saying something based on hearsay from an anonymous post. I’m just saying that I THINK the DQ owners did not own that property, which is why the owners of the property had the right to move them. Interviews with the DQ family? For publication? Lawsuits?

I apologize if that is how it came across. My point was that your statistic doesn’t mean much as a significant amount of guns out there are semi-automatic. But when you throw a statistic out there like that, it is meant to elicit an image that the weapons used were all assault style weapons, when that is not the case. And yes, I should have stated a double action revolver, but since almost all revolvers now are double action, I didn’t feel the distinction was necessary.

He admits he’s 70 something years old and this is whole family’s financial earnings and future. It’s hard to understand why he wouldn’t consult with a lawyer, (if he didn’t.), and why in the hell he would take such a frivolous gamble with so much to lose. It’s fine to joke you live in Mayberry, but the government’s entire means of survival is to separate people from as much as their earnings as they will tolerate, and to do what is in their own best interest. Why would they risk it all on, “trust us, this is good for you?”

I am glad someone else finally said this about her, Deanne!
