Developing - 5 killed in Philly naval yard shooting

I also posted over at thehighroad - on cnn.com banner, story still developing.

Perfect timing, right people?

I feel bad for the families. Sounds like a very strange shooting. I just watched the news and it appears to be business related, something about the shooter being an investor in the company.

Police claim he used an "automatic" weapon, but time has proven that police/reporters are not so great at matching up terms with facts.

Of course this will be used to justify disarming the other 99% of law-abiding gun owners who don't hurt anyone.

Be prepared for the ban.

"Telefon"?

Whenever I wear my tin foil hat, sometimes it makes me wonder.

we are on borrowed time in this country with guns. I hate to say this but that is my gut feeling.

Not to be outdone, someone in Salt Lake decided he would also show his stupidity...

When will kids learn real guns are not like Nintendos? Guns are not a game, they are serious business! People dont come back once you shoot them just so you can restart the game... Chances are there will be at least one more of these shootings, they always seem to come in 3's then the media quiets down on them.

Once again all it REALLY proves is that security at malls is a joke and Cops CANT be everywhere. Of course the Dems would like a cop on every corner as a "deterrent", and a personal escort (if not a 757) yet they have NO idea how to pay for ANY of it!
However, LTCF/CCW holders are FREE!

LTCF/CCW holders are FREE!

Hey howcome I have to pay for mine!!!


LOL When it all comes down to it, they should pay US to carry, they would get quite a force out there for very little. Perhaps the cost of the LTCF

[TonyF]

Unfortunately a LTC holder cannot always be relied upon to be effective. Where was it and who was the guy that tried to intervene in another mall shooting (Washington state?) and his CZ was so dirty / rusty from not being maintained that it jammed or wouldn't even fire? Didn't the guy get shot and killed?

The average gun carrying citizen who has never even performed a drawstroke and who possesses no skills is highly unlikely to produce a positive outcome.
