One Paranoid Gun Nut Equals 3 Dead Cops.

He had a fear that the Goverment would ban guns, so he stockpiled
a arsenal in his home. When trouble erupted he responded by shooting
three police offciers. There ought to be a law that tested the mental
health of potential gun owners.

This is definitely a black mark against the city of Pittsburgh. What I can't figure out is that they interviewed old classmates of this guy and just about all of them talked about how innocent he was and how he couldn't have done this. All of Pitsburgh are mourning the three fallen policemen.

Its D Bags like this that give legal gun owners a bad name. The shooter has a dishonerable discharge and that equals NO GUN OWNERSHIP! Its too bad SWAT didnt tap the guy with a headshot for this. Being a copkiller will give this guy a certain status if he makes it to prison.

RIP to the officers killed in the line of duty and my prayers to their families.

We have plenty of gun laws - if they were enforced, he wouldn't have owned the guns!

Our prayers are with the whole city of Pittsburgh.

Or,

He would have filled the house with gas, called the FD and blown himself up.

Or taken a car up a freeway offramp.

Jumped off an overpass.

Run over pedestrians in his car.

It's not only guns that people get stupid about.

Anyone ioff-center will think of a way to kill people.This idjit had a gun.

But to the joy and and euphoria of the gun grabbers, haters, and the lefties in general, the weapon used was a gun.

They are wetting their pants for another ban, licensing, and/or new regulation.

Im sorry 3 peace keepers had to lose their lives for them to try to further their ideals.

Ouch... Be careful when you say that anybody is JOYFUL over such a event. There might be some, but they would be just as crazy as the person who committed the act.

The issue of personal firearm ownership in this country is a deeply personal one, to both sides. Saying things like this does not help.

One of the guys that is in the Civil War unit we re-enact with is a PGH cop and lives 6 doors away from one of the cops who was killed. Dave, our friend, was off Saturday but heard the call on the radio and ran up to try to help....

blue, regarding part of your siggy: There are over five hundred and fifty million firearms in worldwide circulation. Thats one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is, how do we arm the other eleven.

How do we SAFELY arm the other 11 - making sure they are trained AND mentally fit?

This is an honest question, not a bash.

Give them blanks until they learn to safely handle LIFE!

One nut + gun - Covina CA - 9 dead - family
One nut + gun - Cathage NC - 8 dead - strangers
One nut + gun - Oakland CA - 4 dead - police
One nut + gun - Binghamton NY - 14 dead - strangers
One nut + gun - Alabama - 11 dead - family and strangers
One nut + gun - Pittsburgh PA - 3 dead - cops
One nut + gun - Graham WA - 5 dead - family children

Seven nuts - 54 dead and it is only April.

What senseless, senseless tragedy. Whether the guns were acquired legally (most were) or not...those 54 people are not any less dead.

How many more?

I couldn't agree more!!

In Denmark, if anyone is caught with a gun or knife in the street now, it's jail time!!

There's simply no need for people to walk around with a weapon!!

That's why I posted this story. Seems like we have had way too many
stories in the news on gun violence & deranged people who have legal
guns in their house. I believe way to many people are able to purchase
only because they don't have a history of mental illiness. I think that part
of the law should be changed.

Everyone who buys a gun would be required to pass a mental health
test. (given by licenced professional).

Pretty offensive plus just stupid to insinuate that ES would be joyful to anyone that knows her your just discrediting every single other thing you say.

Thank you for speaking up. I was going at ask, who seemed joyful? I
didn't see that in anyone's post either.
