    Default Another US shooting

    Looks like a disgruntled employee or he just didn't like the newspaper.
    Ho hum, just another day in Merica

    At least the Police acted swiftly apprehending the shooter with no shots being fired on them

    One report said the Police responded 'in 20 seconds' to the emergency call.

    Later another said the New York Times offices were being protected.

    I honestly can no longer have sympathy or even bother to care about these things. Merica is just going along blind and no one is at the controls.

    Well, so are we, just without the guns.......
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    They say he purchased the gun (shotgun) legally and there in lies the problem that there is no way you can stop someone using it as he did.
    This is the same as that recent Murder/Suicide in Western Australia where the guns used were legally obtained for legitimate purposes but one member decided to use them otherwise.
    While I am still Anti Gun, I would not support any legislation banning ownership of firearms bought for legitimate reasons.
