Police say the black 15-year-old was fatally shot by William Pulliam, a 62-year-old white man, after they bumped into each other outside a store and twice exchanged words.
Pulliam in a jail interview said he shot in self-defense.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports Pulliam pleaded no contest in a 2013 domestic violence case and wasn't allowed to have a gun.
Tomblin, who leaves office in January, says Means' death brings his abiding concerns about the law "into sharp focus once again." |

Tomblin's a moron. The law is just fine. It's the idiot that broke it that needs dealt with. |

A law that allows permitless carry is to blame for a man being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm? Is that what you said, Tomblin, you lying sack of excrement? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
