This isnt what we need. Now more than ever. More fuel for the anti gun people.

What is interesting is on the same news channel here they reported 13 people killed in a shoot-out in Germany,that has very tight gun control laws,no details yet on that.

I'd say it just re-enforces the fact that a CCW in this situation would have proven to be invaluable.  I'm just waiting to hear what kind of rifle he was using...

I listened to an interview with the Police Chief that was wounded in the rampage and he said it was a true "assault rifle".  I cringe whenever I hear that used in the media but the Chief was very descriptive saying the perp stuck the AK out the window of his vehicle and fired a long full auto burst at two police cars.   One car had eleven bullet holes and the other had seven. 

Seems the idiot badguy indeed did have an "assault rifle" in the truest sense of things.  Unfortunately the "fully automatic" details will be lost to the media and the left wingers.....they will want to use this to ban anything that looks like an AK or any of its characteristics  (read: extended magazines).

Of course if the bad guys are so armed that will give BHO more excuses to call up his Civilian Security Force to help out the local LEO's.

I fear this may be a dark omen for things to come.

The Dems are saying that they don't want to take on gun control right now. What they mean is that they are waiting for another "crisis" so that they can steamroll legislation through overnight with no time to even read the bill. I bet they even have legislation tucked away in a file cabinet somewhere just waiting untie get another nice "crisis'.

The gunman's mother, four other relatives and the wife and child of a local sheriff's deputy were among the dead.

Counting himself that leaves only two of the ten unaccounted for in the above quote. I don't think Concealed carry would have been of much help in this case and yes we do have CCW here in Bama and a LOT of us do carry regularly.

This guy went off his rocker most likely due to some personal family situation since he killed his own mom and four other relatives. Dunno if that will prove to be his own wife and kids or what but it seems some personal family situation triggered this.

boy I am PO'd ....I listened to the live interview with the wounded Police Chief this morning on ABC and the Chief plainly stated twice that the perp opened up with a "fully automatic burst" on two police cars and they counted 18 bullet holes in both cars.   

Now at lunch time the ABC reporter covering this story did not show any earlier footage of the interview with the Chief,  but stated that the rampage was carried out with a "semiautomatic" assault rifle. 

The Disney spinmeisters are at work .......their cronies will be aimiing for all semiautomatic weapons again.

As for a reason for his acts. They said he may have been upset over losing his job. For anyone to do such a thing they must be mentaly unstable. Dale

During the evening news tonight I heard the words "assault rifles" used three times with this story.  They (a police spokesman)said he had an SKS, a Bushmaster, 2 handguns and a shotgun.  Seems like any other shooting like this, the facts won't come out for a long time, if they come out at all.
