Is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot of shootings lately just before the elections?

I was thinking the same Pilgrim or they're just getting on the news finally...

So much for NYC style gun control.....Oh wait, it's probably another states fault, right Bloomberg???

I thought it was due to the end of the world coming in December....hnoes:

I have pity for the victims, but part of me feels they deserve it by tolerating Bloomberg and his gun politics. There is an old saying "live by the sword, die by the sword". Well I say live by the fear, die by the fear. And these poor people died in fear with no chance or opportunity to defend themselves IN AN AMERICAN CITY.

I hate to hear about this and I feel for the victims and family of victims but this just goes to show that disarming the good guys doesn't help! The bad guys will still get theirs! Mayor Bloomberg this one is on you.

 

[Vaquero]

Bloomberg will be speaking shortly. I expect words of wisdom. Hah!

But wait guns are illegal in NYC! How did a criminal get a gun.... Oh wait... Never mind.

Some liberal idiot in the comments section of the article stated, "Let's see how or where he got this gun before judging, hmm? How stupid would you sound if it were bought legally in another state?" It amazes me that these tards still don't get it. Whether the firearm was purchased legally or illegally is beside the point - the real point is that, had any of the victims or bystanders been allowed to carry firearms, the perpetrator may not have been able to injure/kill as many people before he was put down.

Critical thinking is a lost art in our time.

It does seem like there are a LOT more national news sized shootings occurring lately. I mean, no one seems to give a crap that Chicongo has like 50 shootings a day, but these larger scale shootings, or shootings in more sensitive areas seem to be on the rise over night. It's quite frightening. Wonder what Bloomberg is going to say? I mean, when you have some of the strictest gun laws in America in your city, and yet shootings still occur, doesn't that say something to you? Not to the typical lib, I suppose, but I hope it helps wake up more Americans.

Hey Mayor BanEverything! How's that gun control workin' out for ya?


Obviously not too well. And, of course, Mayor Dipshit will blame gun stores in Arizona, or the bullet button in the Peoples' Socialist Яepublik of Kalifornia or a tourist because it couldn't have been a native New Yorker who did this....

Good guys WITH GUNS nutralized the bad guy with a gun....Criminals are criminals whether there are strict gun control laws in place or not. I'm sure this will be played out by Mr. Bloomberg and the media on just how criminal guns are, especially in a state like NY. This brings to mind the good old quote "An unarmed citizen is a victim".

Now... we all know banning guns will put a stop to these criminals.

And i always thought a company issued fire arm had to be turned in upon discharge
Of employment

Not even a good 4 hour period in Chicago or even my former hometown. There would have been less injured if the cops didn't miss their targets, I guess bystanders were hit. Bloomberg attacks the law abiding wanting guns way yet... it's the criminal that needs prosectution not us.

 

[Texastransplant]

Yep 8 or 9 shot by police....so we go after us the citizen....

 

[TXDARKHORSE361]

Watching it on tv, they're saying apparently he was a former employee there who was layed off and went back for his boss. Waiting for more info but that's what they're saying now, also saying ATF, FBI, and Bloomberg on scene.

Is this accurate?

Sad.
Even sadder, the victims who are willing are gonna be scooped up and "milked" by the anti-gun lobby.
Another tragedy handled all wrong just to fuel someone's twisted agenda.
