    The gun control argument doesn't need a queue. Any lunatic can go into Academy, buy a gun, and murder all of MojoMan's friends and family. You're just too entrenched on stupid to support common sense changes that can reduce that possibility.

    BTW, when the leftist lynch mob holds the moral high ground and the obvious rightness of a cause I'm glad to join it against the wingnut ****wit clown show you lead on this board. :grin:

    You call it being a sociopath, I call it being unemotional and grounding opinions in logic.

    What "common sense changes" would prevent someone that wanted to hurt people from being able to do so?

    Trust me, your willingness to be part of a lynch mob surprises no one.

    Yeah, well, when that actually happens, I hope you will get back with us and let us know.

    Watching CNN now, which has included a press conference with the senior police officer on the scene. The shooting took place at the Planned Parenthood and the shooter is currently inside with an unconfirmed number of persons (both PP employees/patients and police). Police have been exchanging gunfire with the shooter. 9 confirmed civilians and 4 confirmed police have been transported to hospitals. There is the possibility of IEDs on the scene but not confirmed.

    As for the bank, the officer reported that some victims ran toward the bank in order to escape the shooter, who shot at them. So the facts available do not support the contention that the shooting involved the bank.

    Nobody jump to any conclusions just yet. First we need to know the race of the shooter before we can determine if this is terrorism or not.

    Letting you know. The unfettered access to weapons and the thousands of lives wiped out every year in the U.S. as a result is a disgrace. Carry on wingnut.

    I find it a bit odd that they haven't identified the shooter yet.

    Actually police have revised their statement. The gunman did all the shooting; police did not fire back because hostages are thought to be involved.

    Also, the gunman was probably firing with a scope on people fleeing to the bank. Whoever this guy is, he seems to be well trained, armed to the teeth and may be capable of blowing up the entire PP building.

    Why is that? Police are not in contact with the shooter at all. They have no means of identification.

    You have no substantive response so you're resorting to troll speak? Awwww, that's so cute. Maybe a hot chocolate will make you feel better.

    Well he can't be THAT well trained given the low number of fatal shots.

    In other instances they ID the shooter pretty quickly. Either way, I expect that information to come out pretty soon.
