Why would someone with a hand gun that have 9 rounds, run to a gun fight with someone with a AR 15 assault weapon that shots 30 rounds in just 10 seconds?

Just heard this morning that Trump said that he would it. That is something I would like to see because that man has no record of heroism.

The Late Show host ridiculed Trump on Monday night, expressing doubt over Trump’s comments earlier in the day at a gathering of governors at the White House. “You don’t know until you’re tested, but I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” Trump told the group.

Why would anyone with common sense run up against a person who is shooting round at the speed of 30 rounds every 10 seconds without a weapon in their hands, is that how they train the police now?

That sounds really foolish to me.

And your dumb ass would have stood idly by?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, February 27th 2018 at 4:30PM

No!!! I would not run up to a firefight where a Crazy person with a A.R. 15 assault weapon, empty-handed. NO! I would not, would you?

All your talk about CHILDREN Ron, yet you deny you have a parent’s instinct to protect children?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, February 27th 2018 at 9:06PM

Maybe I’m missing something, what are you talking about?

Steve Williams Tuesday, February 27th 2018 at 10:57PM

My instinct in such a situation would be to protect the children, not to be a defeatist and hang back.

Steve Williams Tuesday, February 27th 2018 at 11:02PM

Don’t you remember what happened when Gabby Gifford was shot, or what happened on the Thalys train?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, February 28th 2018 at 9:09AM

Was a AR-15 Military style assault weapon being used Associated with mass murder?

Steve Williams Wednesday, February 28th 2018 at 12:45PM

On the Thalys train it was an AK-47 and a pistol. Gifford and the other victims were shot with a pistol. In both cases the attackers were stopped by unarmed individuals. What does that prove about various weapons, the effectiveness of various weapons, or and lack of weapons? Nothing.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 2:55AM

I see that our Boy is walking back on his own words now. You know that statement of running up to a person with a AR 15 assault weapon while that person is in the act of killing and that other person has no weapon in his hands., is a fools move.

Our boy realizes the error of his way because he knows that if he did that, he would be dead, dead, dead and no good for the children or nobody else.

Did the Navy teach you anything about infantry tactics while you were on that boat?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 9:17AM

The Navy has it's resources both on land, sea and air, Navy personnel is not just restricted to a ship. After basic training, including combat training, most members of newly formed battalions were sent to one of two Advanced Base Depots at Davisville, Rhode Island or Port Hueneme, California for advanced training before being shipped to an overseas assignment.

Steve Williams Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 11:01AM

Then you should know that tactics change as the tactical situation changes. No red blooded serviceman would make the prediction that you have.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 1:52PM

Nowhere, in my military training says that you should go into a firefight empty handed, "NOWHERE!!!"

Did you hear the Trump team try to clean up what Trump had said about running into a firefight empty handed?

OH!!! He was just joking. No!!!! this is The President of The United States of America, why would he JOKE about something like this?

Steve Williams Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 2:29PM

Trump wasn’t joking, who the hell told you that Ron? You’ve also said a pistol had no chance against and AR. In Vietnam did they also tell you not to go up against 2 AK-47s with only a single M16? Were you ever in a firefight?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 8:51PM

“Did you hear the Trump team try to clean up what Trump had said about running into a firefight empty handed?

Huckabee Press secretary said he was trying to Show leadership.


Steve Williams Thursday, March 1st 2018 at 10:19PM

That’s what she said, among other things. But nothing about it being a joke.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 2:59AM

If that was the case, then what can another unarmed shooting victim do for those kids? Maybe, the joke has been in front of us all the time.

Steve Williams Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 7:30AM

If you want to be a coward Ron that’s your choice. Don’t expect the rest of us to be cowards. It turns out Scott Peterson didn’t act out of cowardice, he was following orders from the top to stand down.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 8:10AM

WOW!!! He was told to stand down, so that officer was following clear, wise and prudent orders from his superiors? So, that means you and the president was wrong in labeling the first officer on the scene, a COWARD.

Steve Williams Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 9:15AM

I never said that officer was a coward. Get your facts in order Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 10:05AM

Your president did and that is why you are here in the first place Steve.

Steve Williams Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 12:13PM

Read your blog Ron and watch your video again. I’m here because I agree with the President that teachers should be armed and that banning guns isn’t the answer.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 12:42PM

Just think of it, if Trump gets his way, a teacher someday may have to be in a gun fight with their students, bad thought.

Well just this morning I heard that our president now wants to come for your guns. That move is truly an extreme left wing moment.

Steve Williams Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 1:23PM

I guess that makes the President your hero now.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, March 2nd 2018 at 2:46PM

I never did advocate for such an extreme measure as that!!! Now you can see what you voted for in Trump. He wants to take away our guns, Oh My!!!
