*Breaking* Hostage situation in NY

[Hazcat]

Officials said Voong entered the civic association armed with two pistols – a 9 mm and a .45 caliber handgun. He carried a bag filled with high capacity magazines, a survival knife and a flashlight, according to police.

Voong backed his car up to the rear door of the building to block any escape before he went to the front of the building and started to execute people, police said.

That's the problem, these sleazeball politicians and socialist "do gooders" never seem to learn. The fact is, they would rather see the streets littered with dead civilians than admit that law abiding citizens are better able to protect themselves than the "Nanny state" is.

actually from my understanding, they guy parked his car against the back door and came in the front door shooting.  Even a highly skilled mall ninja could do little to stop him.   Granted the hostage thing might have been ended, but the guy shooting every one in the 1st 10 seconds could not have been.

Would have been stopped SOONER. We continue to pay for anti gun stupidity in blood.

Maybe, maybe not.  Until there is a time line of events we won't know.

I could walk into a croweded room, fire 23 rounds( thats 3 reloades) from a 1911 and blow my brains out with the last one in well under 20 seconds.

At best some one might be able to respond in what 5 seconds?  thats still atleast 8 shots off.

The cold hard truth is, if some one wants to kill people and is willing to give up thier life to do it,its extremely hard to stop them.

Even the highly skilled pros have a hard time doing it.

Actually, according to the reports I sasw he did park against the back door, but started shooting OUTside the building.  While an armewd citizen may not have been able to prevent innocent bloodshed it sure as hell would've evened the playing field a bit.

New York doesn't like the "common folk" to carry those firearm thingy's, too dangerous for the folks to have. The NY gov't knows best.(sarcasm)

and evidently there is not strong enough gun reg's in NY so I'm sure more are coming. Hillary and Chucky Schumer will support it.

not really, you would be in reaction mode,  you are always behind the cruve when your reacting.
