so since i was wrong to ASSUME you were banning them in some form, what would your plan be?>> It was during the peak of the homebound commute, witnesses said, that they saw a dangerous “cat-and-mouse game” in which two motorists were jockeying for positions on a quarter-mile stretch of highway where two lanes become one.
When it was over, an 18-year-old college-bound Chester County girl was dead, her family and friends were devastated, and a nationwide manhunt had begun for the driver of a faded red pickup who shot and killed Bianca Roberson in what police said was a road rage murder.
“This homicide was completely senseless,” said West Goshen Police Chief Joseph Gleason. “A beautiful young lady of 18 years of age, in the prime of her life, getting ready to go off to college. And for reasons that are incomprehensible to me, the family is now planning her funeral instead of a going-away party for college.”
More than 20 investigators were sorting through hundreds of leads by email and phone from across the country, collecting video clips, and canvassing the streets for clues to what happened on the Route 100 bypass at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Police Capt. Gregory Stone called the incident a “heartless” act unlike any he’d witnessed in his 32-year career.
Police have retrieved and reviewed video footage from PennDot cameras just moments before the shooting, Noone said. Still images can be viewed on the Crime Stoppers webpage.
.... Authorities on Friday announced a $5,000 Crimestoppers reward and urged anyone with information to contact police at 610-696-7400 or [email protected].
“This is going to come down, ladies and gentlemen, to assistance by the public,” Gleason said. “The family deserves this. Society in general deserves this.” << --- Philly.com
He shot a stranger dead, for the purpose of getting ten feet further ahead on an exit ramp.
But what's important to remember is, "we don't have a gun problem".

It is not the gun but the retardation of the person behind the gun. Also I am willing to bet he would have ran her off the road if he did not have a gun seeing he did not care about her life.
In the end monsters will kill and hope they drag him behind his truck when they find his worthless ass...
Zackly That's what this thread is about at root, the "retardation". Although I call it mass societal illness. And that illness is the idea that "I can get to the ramp faster by shooting at this car" --- or whatever the objective is... loud music, inability to face one's various personal problems, or most dangerously, challenges to one's personal inadequacies and expectations of masculinity.
And the instrument of choice to shoot at all those personal problems is the firearm, by tradition. If we were a culture with a poison-dart-shooting tradition, then we'd have a poison-dart-shooting problem. And it "wouldn't be the darts" in that case either but rather the mass retardation that drove people to repeatedly abuse the dart-shooting technology. No difference.
But good luck shooting a poison dart at another car while you're both moving.
What did you do, just skip reading the entire thread? Let alone all my posts on this for the last five years?
One thing to keep in mind: "where we usually go" is not something I have one iota of interest in. I never write a post to echo something that's already out there.
