Watch for the first politician who calls for a gun ban without knowing any facts of this case.

It's because we don't have a $15 minimum wage or because we separate kids from their parents abductors at the border.

Duuuuuuvaaallllll

 

Btw, thanks for a brand new thread for such garbage.  There already is a gun thread.  But, who'd expect you to follow decorum.

 

 

Nothing wrong with having a specific thread.

 

I always thought the gun thread was more about "policy" differences.

Apparently the shooter was a competitor in the tournament by the name of Derek Jones.

 

He got eliminated in the first round, raged out over it, and went on a shooting spree.

Edit:  The shooter was not Jones, though his comments were unfortunate given the timing and following events, and his twitter account has been suspended.

Sorry Dude, shooting was at................................................................A Gun Free Zone.

 

From the Jacksonville Landing's webpage:

 

Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property

There’s a sign that tells me that EVERY time I drive to pick my daughter up from cross country. But somehow, my truck, with a XDS under the steering wheel, and my Sub 2000 in the back, make it onto campus despite the sign. EVERY time. It’s amazing that the sign doesn’t stop me. Weird.

At the ferry landing where I commute to SF, there’s a ‘Nuclear Weapons Free Zone’ sign.

 

So that’s a load time off.

I'm sure the Russians and Chinese will abide by that sign and point their missiles elsewhere

And if you've ever been there it's an absolute strategic opportunity for such ****.

However he had been hospitalized for mental illness and been prescribed anti-psychotic medication within the last month.

 

This probably put him over the edge:
