another shooting in the news. i have yet to see any of the good shootings we have listed in the firearms in medai section but hear about all theses bad ones. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Police-SWAT-Team-New-Jersey-Pathmark-Old-Bridge-168125856.html Kaplan said, and it appeared shots were fired in more than one spot. No shots were fired by police, who did not arrive until the shooting was over,
Man. What is it with all these spree killings lately? It seems like there is a new one every couple of days. What the hell is going on? Of note I personally took away from this story: The guy got into an argument, left the store, went to his car, acquired said hardware and returned to the store Store employees saw what he was doing and locked the door in an attempt to keep him out. He shot out a window and made his way in anyways. Police arrived after he had killed two people and himself. A CCW holder in that situation could have made all the difference in the world. The police can not be everywhere and this is a classic example of people needing every second and the cops being minutes away. I urge everyone who reads this story to actively consider carrying your legally owned and permitted weapon everywhere you go (courthouse and federal buildings aside). JD
i hate how the media also named it as a mass shooting... there were 2 victims and the shooter.. how does this equal mass shooting?
I don't know ... scratching my head on this ... seems like lately most shootings are occuring around the New York - New Jersey areas, which fit nicely with the sudden campaign and outrage against gun-owners by Bloomberg and his political comrades. We are being targeted I fear.
Not to upset anyone and don't take this note the wrong way but I find it highly interesting that almost all of them are vets.
How the hell did the guy get an AK in New Jersey?! And what permit lets you drive around with a loaded one in your car? Isn't there like a state law that instantly made him into public enemy number one merely for wanting one? Yeah those gun laws are really keeping the folks in the garden state safe.
I agree with your urging. If you can carry you should wherever possible. Unfortunately, this is in NJ where, like NY, it's almost impossible to get CCW and they have no reciprocity.
There arent any more shootings. In fact i read a story where there are far fewer happening. What IS occuring is a shark scare. Back in the 90's there were shark attack stories in the media left and right couldnt go two nites without hearing about some shark biting someone. If you listened to the media you would have thought there was an epidemic. As it turned out that particular year had the fewest shark attacks in recorded US and World history. The media latches onto themes like this to sell add space. Before the colorado shooting there wasnt much if any coverage of shootings. Ratings for the colorado batman shooting were through the roof. So the media is capitalizing on every tragic event that occurs to sell ad space. Put that on top with the desperation of the non-existant audience for the big outlets (excepting foxnews) they all are trying to get ratings from fox. Its nothing more than another shark scare in a disgusting attempt to capitalize on tragic events.
The BGs seem to get their hands on whatever they need, but I can't own a 30 round magazine or a collapsible stock! He broke a law when he put those firearms in his car and went to work. In NJ, when you place a firearm in your automobile, if you're not on your way from home to the range or on your way back home from the range, you're breaking the law. No deviation allowed. Well, that's what it seems, the media is either grossly misleading us or are correct when they say it was an AK47. but its seems that is what all outlets are calling it. Also stating that it was a banned weapon in NJ.
That's why a few years ago DHS tried to label all vets as potential terrorists. Texas Tower was a vet, so was the JFK thing. It scared/s govt that trained people could have access to weapons upon rejoining the civilian population.
dont forget about hamas. the dems love being buddy buddy with those mass murderers. i think its funny that the ONLY mass murderers that the dems dont like are the ones using guns... bombs, poison gas, knives, strangling, stoning, hanging, beheading, drunk driving, machettes, axes, chainsaws, wood chippers, clubs, all A-OK!!
