1. I used to be a CASA and I would see so many

pederasts in the courtrooms and they all look normal. They also had a common trait of controlling behavior.

[TeamPooka]

7. Court Assigned Special Advocate? Right? That must have been tough work. Mostly children clients?

[WhiteTara]

23. Some of it was. But my children are in the

world thriving. They're educated and fairly well adjusted. Most cases last about one year. Mine lasted for over 7 years. The worst part was breaking in new social workers and case worker and foster parents. The kids were really sweet and needy.

[TeamPooka]

24. I've always wondered: if being a CASA was always voluntary or could a judge ever force a lawyer to

be one for the sake of the client?

[WhiteTara]

25. CASA's are totally volunteer and I could have quit at any time

but my little girls (3 of them...there were 5 altogether, but I couldn't handle the entire case alone) were important to me. I was the only constant in their lives for over 7 years. They might not have done as well had I left and I personally signed on for the whole ride. I quit when the last one finished high school.

2. 50,000 customers a day? That must be the busiest gun shop

on the planet...

[HAB911]

3. That's the problem

Good guys with guns, until they aren't

8. Observation...every gun behind him is miltary style.

Nothing for basic hunting or self-defense.

Know your market?

[Hangingon]

15. I see 2 bolt action rifles, one in camouflage. Definitely hunters.

There is on assault style. The others are hunters.

[NickB79]

26. I see two bolt-action rifles, one lever-action rifle, and two assault-style rifles

There's one tan AR-15-looking gun in the center behind his head, and you can see the front sight post of a second AR-15 above his shoulder.

The rest you can't really make out. That, and he says he sold the guy a shotgun, which clearly wasn't used in the shooting spree yesterday.

4. Find the one that sold him the damn

Machine gun

[Achilleaze]

5. "normal...like 50,000 other guys who walk in every day."

That's obviously a big fat stinking lie. I bet he's a freaking Trump republican.

[Hoyt]

12. I bet it's close to the truth.

[Hortensis]

20. Given the NRA's infiltration by Russia, he could be a Putin Republican.

[gratuitous]

6. Gee, sir, maybe your personal alarm system doesn't work?

And you say you've sold firearms to another 50,000 guys who similarly didn't trip your personal sensors? That's not exactly reassuring to the rest of us who will be on the receiving end of any more of your errors.

Fuck. Just fuck.

[B2G]

10. This guy doesn't seem to have set off ANYONE's alarms.

Including his family's.

But crucify the guy who was just working there and probably interacted with him for a sum total of 30 minutes, if that.

Sheesh.

[gratuitous]

13. Except he's the only gatekeeper

Our system is set up in such a way that it's up to a firearm seller's personal alarm to flag who might be a danger to the rest of us. Maybe we need a slightly more robust system of checks in place so that several hundred people at a concert aren't risking their lives because one guy's internal sensors didn't identify a risk? And by his own admission, this guy has apparently sold firearms to another 50,000 or so people. Yeah, I'll verbally crucify him for his poor judgment; that's a lot better outcome than last night victims of this guy's defective personal radar got.

But you be personally offended by that if it suits you.

[B2G]

16. You do you. nt

[Hangingon]

17. The background check is the gatekeeper.

We don't do this by sight.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. It is after all,

all about the money.

[Hoyt]

11. DGX DIXIE Gun Works. Ain't that nice, they probably sell confederate and nazi stuff too.

[Nevernose]

19. "Dixie" is the unofficial name of the geographic region

When the Mormons first settled it they tried to plant cotton and tobacco there, it's in the southern part of the state, they were racist as shit...

There's even a Dixie State College in the town (St George)

[Hoyt]

22. Interesting. Mormons -- now there's a racist bunch for you.

[Brother Buzz]

29. Dixie Gun Works is an equal opportunity source for everything.....

Black powder, antique gun parts, and just plain cool military surplus stuff from all over the world that is not prohibited by the National Firearms Act.

Their catalog is rather extraordinary.

[Hoyt]

30. Hi cap mags and all kinds of crud gun-strokers love. Bet they supported Trump too.

[Brother Buzz]

31. High capacity magazines and muzzleloading rifles are at opposite extremes

in the gun nut realm. Now, if you are looking for a replica of a original Prussian Napoleonic wars flintlock Jaeger military rifle, Dixie Gun Works is the place. They'll sell you sacks of flints, too.

[Hoyt]

33. They sell modern lethal accessories including bump firing stocks.

[Brother Buzz]

34. Bump stocks are NOT prohibited by the National Firearms Act.

[Hoyt]

35. That's my point.

[sarisataka]

14. 50k per day

Is over 18 million per year...

We may have found the Prime source of illegal guns

[Johnny2X2X]

18. He was white

Translation. He was a white guy so I didn't question him. I hope this scum thinks about the carnage he helped cause.

[Ms. Toad]

21. All the more reason to ban the sale of weapons (and clips) that serve no purpose,

other than building a rapid body count.

There is no legitimate purpose for a weapon that fires at the rate the weapons he was using did (I've listened to the videos more times than I care - he was firing at about the rate of the packs of tiny firecrackers with shared fuse).

[50 Shades Of Blue]

27. Ditto!

[Hoyt]

28. Video of a bunch of white wingers building AR15s and shooting sponsored by DGX.

36. Just a normal, everyday guy wanting to buy machine guns.

Just like everyone else, right?
