Thats silly. No gun law would have stopped this. We need more guns to protect ourselves. A reputable news organization should be travelling with protection at all times to prevent this stuff.


They had a 24 and 27 year old out on remote. I doubt they're budgeting for protection.

Murders committed about 50 miles south of me. Police chasing suspect on I 64, which is about 5 miles north of me.

CNN reporting that Social Media's identification of the suspect is INCORRECT.
Hope he offs himself

All have substantial minority populations and yet have substantially lower gun crime.

Unless Homer is referring only to black minorities.

My post isn't political. I'd call any left-wing gun person a lunatic too. It's common sense. It only seems political because idiotic people continue to ignore an obvious problem.

Holy shit. This might be the most ignorant post I've seen here. Quite an accomplishment Homer. Your surname should be Simpson so we could keep the great Homer Jones in good stead.

Uh, Germany doesn't have a substantial minority population? Yeah, I guess it's only third largest in the world.
Banning guns works  
armstead98 : 8/26/2015 11:12 am : link
Washington DC banned handguns and homicides dropped by 25% and gun suicides by 23% so it seems like Mike is onto something. Despite what the pro-gun people say banning guns does in fact see reduce murder and death.

Thanks for posting... the only thing I take issue with is the idea that I'm "onto something." I haven't discovered anything. This is simple, blatant, 3rd grade level cause-and-effect.
Oh my god, the killer is actively posting on Twitter

including a first person video he took of the shooting!
