So sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears that we are witnessing a catastrophic regression in our social structure and our government is contributing too and or is ill equipped to respond and protect us.

We may all need to leverage our constitutional rights for this lunacy appears to becoming the norm rather then an isolated occurrences.

Interesting exercise, proclaiming based on a single murder that society is in a catastrophic regression in social structure. Violent crime is about as low as it has been in the last 30 years. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...voting-issue-but-what-does-the-data-say/



You want to take out a loan on your Constitutional rights?

I am comforted Double Naught at you intellectual grasp of our current crime statistics and how the use of our 2nd amendment to address a potential confrontation is probably and exercise in silliness!!!!.

Even your own statistics demonstrates those ignorant city dwellers who are probably not as in tune to the real world consider violence a major concern for their quality of life/

I for one believe releasing violent criminals from prison ahead of term completion, Eliminating cash bail, not prosecuting criminals with gun violations, and lessening the severity of historically prosecutable crimes is a clear contributor to the increasing but as you note low level of crime.

I wonder if the pawn shops owners family will take solace in your low crime statistics or the many, many victims of homicides committed by criminals released on cashless bonds all of whom, until now would have been incarcerated waiting trial.

Yep I stand corrected we are truly living at a time of unprecedented tranquility!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I nearly have to ignore any post with that many exclamation points. I hate to say it because you seem to be intelligent, yet your spelling and grammar are frankly [censored], Flashprism. Can you lower your blood pressure enough to make a salient attempt at arguing your somewhat odd perspective?

It's still a sad situation and a battle over this silliness in this topic (off topic) shows there is a chasm that needs bridged. So let's spell correctly AND unite.

One of the people that shot the owner of the Lewisville Pawnshop was arrested either yesterday or today.

One of the suspects involved in the attempted robbery/murder was arrested, but the cops aren't saying if it was the shooter or not.

I hate to get lured off topic, but it seems rather hypocritical for someone to proclaim that we "all need to leverage our Constitutional rights" while ignoring or forgetting about the 8th Amendment less than 24 hours later.

How's the gun selection there? Junk or quality?

Mostly lower end, but decent stuff. SA, Anderson, etc. Most people who know him used him for online transfers. He was very efficient and only charged $10.

Good to hear, They got one they will get them all.

Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law!
I hope there is a rusty needle waiting for all 3 of these POS's at Huntsville in the near future.

Was just down there last week to pick up a transfer. They wanted me to tell everyone they are still in business and come on down, Still have $10 transfers.

Yep, I have used them several times since. Same solid service and great price it's always been.

Anyone know if this has gone to trial?

Yeah I could find all that, just nothing about a trial

Good question. I spent about 30 minutes last week on google trying to find anything I could on the trial or outcome. Nothing.

This is way after the fact, but the trial is now ongoing. Was my source reliable? Seems like it. It was from a local pawnbroker. Turns out, guns were exactly what they were after.

There's nothing in the referenced article about them going to several other shops trying to buy guns. ?

I think you interpreted things as saying they filled out 4473s or something. I probably should have said shopping. I don't know that any deals were actually reached. In reality, that probably wasn't the goal so much as scoping out the stores. The police checked out the other pawn shops to see if the guys were recognized. Apparently, they had been in other stores looking at guns.

I didn't interpret anything. You stated, "The 3 had been to several other shops trying to buy guns and turned down every time. Apparently, the got tired of being turned down." I still don't see where you have proven this happened.

LOL, I don't have to prove anything. My source was one of the stores shopped. Part of the information I provided did come out at trial. The robbers lowballed him on a pistol and eventually left.

Jury Convicted.

Yes, heard the news report earlier this week while listening to the radio on the deer stand the shooter was convicted largely on the testimony of the other two and given life without parole.
