Didn't take the Brady-bunch very long to trot out their spin on a tragedy:
Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and former Indiana political leader, issued the following statement from Chicago:
“We make it too easy for dangerous people to arm themselves - people like the angry, severely troubled man who murdered co-workers in Hartford. And we allow public access to military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, like the shooter in Indianapolis. We need to come to terms with this horror in our country.
“While these types of tragedies are taking place, Congress is passing laws to ensure the gun lobby is exempt from campaign finance laws and that gun owners can keep their arsenals if they file bankruptcy. And we have a President who won’t talk about solutions to the gun violence problem.
“I grieve for the families who have lost loved ones today, just like the families who lost loved ones last week, and the week before, and the week before that. There must come a day when we do something about this, rather than just shrug and say it’s inevitable.”

One of my pals at work today, a confused "liberservative", commented on this and reported that there are more guns in the US than any other country.
I responded.."Good! Too bad there weren't a few armed folks in that conference room yesterday, there would only be one dead asshole instead of eight decent citizens!"
I left it at that....

Sorry Paul, but the problem isn't that “We make it too easy for dangerous people to arm themselves", it's that we make it too difficult for law-abiding citizens to arm themselves against dangerous people who have armed themselves.
As Homer Simpson would say, "DOH!!!"

NBC news reported 2 9mm handguns in his lunchbox... ??? Either way, if it was a white shooter, the MSM would be spinning this another way,....now it's the same ol' playbook...
He was an African American VICTIM of discrimination, asked to resign by evil whitey....What other choice did he have?
Teamsters Union has a hand in this somehow,.....I'm sure that will be on the up & up..

I read today he shot the Teamster boss in the head.
"The dead also included Bryan Cirigliano, 51, of Newington, president of Teamsters 1035, who had been Thornton's representative at the hearing, and Louis Felder, who was operations director, according to The Stamford Advocate. "

About as effective as Chicago's gun control laws, from the sound of things.

Does you military use "semi-automatic" firearms?
Mine doesn't!
Maybe they would have preferred if he had driven his delivery truck through the building, so they could ban greenhouse gas emitting vehicles >:(

I guess the video of him stealing beer matters not, and the recently released 911 call, by the BG, saying " I wish I could have got more" matters not, as he is a victim of racism....
Please, all the more reason to allow carry at work. If feasible.

In a sick/twisted way, that was funny.
And NO, I'm NOT happy people died, no matter how they vote*

A couple years ago we had a Police Officer killed by a 19 yo local kid, (cousin to skier Bode Miller )
Initial reaction was "Oh, a Police Officer died in the line of duty. What a tragedy." Turns out he was a hardass with teen agers, with several complaints by parents, but would not say spit to an adult, general opinion now is the prick got what he deserved, I always think about incidents like this, even if the shooter was a thieving scumbag chances are, based on averages of people I've known, that some of these "victims" of shootings in general, not specifically this one ) needed killing and we are well rid of them.
May sound crass, but I'm not one who believes that "life is precious", if it was there would not be 3 Billion of us, fact is, we breed like rats.

Six billion Tom. And I agree, 3 billion is too many.

He was taught racism at any early age. The video tells all. The lairs keep saying it's not their fault.
The truth is only dangerous to the dangerous.
