Of all places you have to post about my area. Even though I am tired of you I am forced to respond.

Guns are not popular here and nobody has them, but this is a different town than it was 30 years ago, since high tech industry has shown up. The shooting range is a blast from the past and most everyone I know wants to shut it down. Connected to the shooting range is a gun shop. If you closed the shooting range, the gun shop would also go away at which point there would be nowhere in the area to obtain guns. Yes yes you could drive 100 miles away to the oakland inner city if you wanted to but I doubt this person would have done that. The fact is, this individual acquired a gun at the general proximity of this range and then threatened people with a gun he acquired there and was apprehended by someone else from there. The entire episode would not have existed had this shooting range been removed.

I am not an extreme anti-gun person really although I am no fan of guns, and I don't want to live with guns which is why I live here. But this story was not publicized because it is a bunch of falsified baloney. If right wing gun nut #1 saves somebody from right wing gun nut #2 I really don't think its newsworthy. BTW there is very little crime here and would be even less if they removed guns completely.
