I used to like that place on occasion. Won’t be going back anytime soon however. Good thing none of the pro 2nd amendment gang was there or there would have been a shoot out in the parking lot.
I guess the right “to keep and bear arms” includes knives.
Absolutely. That same altercation with a “firearm” would have most likely ended in a death, not “minor, non-life threatening injuries.
The place is nothing but a crap hole. Nice place to mix and mingle with the undead.
Do they serve “TrueBlood”?
Thanks Sheriff Gahler for keeping us safe.
WTF????
I think we should ban all assault knives.
Me thinks stupid comments like Mr. Nasney’s show a not so rare form of ignorance and arrogance.
Oh dear, did I offend your tender sensibilities? I’m so very sorry. Could I escort you to a safe room perhaps? Golly gee.
Common Sense Knife laws should be discussed in the upcoming general assembly sessions.
Why do people need a “Rambo” knife?
I’m sure options including banning the item for sale, and possession can be looked at.
I do believe bladed weapons are covered under the 2nd amendment but as states like Maryland has shown us, it’s completely constitutional to regulate the items to including banning to protect public safety.
Thank you.
You can get rid of guns, you can get rid of swords and knives, then we will have killings by baseball bats, strangulation, homicide by vehicles and a plethora of other devices, but you will NEVER prevent people from killing other people. The idea of banning every item that may be used to cause harm to another and that we will all live together in some Utopia is nothing but a pipe dream. It is unconstitutional to create ANY gun legislation by both the States and the Federal government. The Maryland Constitution clearly declares the United States Constitution the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. The laws banning certain guns are acceptable because certain individuals have shown they can NOT be trusted with large magazines and the capacity to cause mass homicide. That does NOT mean the statute is Constitutional. It means that is accepted and consent has been given by the people who have NOT challenged the statute in Court. That’s all that it means and NO GUN LEGISLATION IS CONSTITUTIONAL. Your Democratic ideas are an act of treason and if you ever wage war on my people with weapons WE THE PEOPLE don’t have, I will consent to the overthrow of your DEMOCRACY in order to preserve my CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. The LAW has already warred on my people long enough thru illegal and unconstitutional acts of war against us. It is time to end this war. I intend to end this war. I know you feel as if you must war against us and destroy everyone who doesn’t agree with you. Be very careful. WE THE PEOPLE grow very tired of you. WE THE PEOPLE want peace. Keep sending your traitors to our homes to violate our lives and you may get that war you seem to want so bad. In the end NO ONE WILL WIN.
do your drinking at home or in your self driving car – won’t need bars – just keep a fridge in the back seat.
It’s clear to me firearm restrictions work to provide life saving results.
The suspect used a knife in their criminal act and not a firearm.
I’m a huge supporter of gun control laws and believe Maryland legislature should start discussing knife law.
Thank you.
I see our President (The Divider-In-Chief) was in Alabama yesterday autographing bibles.
Does our Constitution allow us to sue him for defacing the “Word of God”? 🙂
Maybe. If he had signed the bibles without people asking him to do it. Remember, the people were asking him to sign the bibles.
And folks, everyone involved in this “altercation” could have been “law abiding” citizen up until they decided to commit a violent criminal act.
Again, this is why we don’t need people carrying firearms on their person.
You’d have a bunch of people who nearly no training sending rounds everywhere.
Only trained Police Officers and trained Security Guards should really be allowed by government to carry a firearm.
