Unhappy Another shooting

An armed man shot and killed 2 inside of a Delaware courthouse. He also wounded 2 officers. He had not gone through the scanners. It was over a domestic dispute. The gunman was shot and killed.
The site I read it on, the anti-gun advocates are having a field day over this!

Default Another shooting

Was the courthouse a "gun free zone"? If so he should have not been able to shoot anyone.

Why do we, as forum members, race to post about these incidents? By doing so, we act just like the current media in their frenzy to report anything "gun related". In a nation of 300 million, things happen --where are the daily stories of every fatal car accident, drowning, heart attack, etc. Let us stop joining in the hand-wringing.

"Pope to resign due to health problems."
Is this a good story to post about?

ADMIN or MODS, can you please delete/close this post/thread? I think it's upsetting members and looks like it could get ugly!
Thank You.

Exactly. It irks me that some folk on here still use "their" words when it comes to firearms with certain features. Some seem utterly baffled when I suggest that they stop. Shows that brainwashing by media is possible.

We had one in the Twin Cities tonight. A guy with a handgun randomly shooting at cars in an eastern suburb of St. Paul. One 10-yr-old boy dead, no word on other injuries, a lot of holes in car windshields.
