Well, I suppose most everyone has heard or will hear about the
latest shooting spree at a Wendy's in Florida. All I can say is, that
the devil is working overtime.

The link to the story is below..

I'll never understand it. My heart goes out to the families.

 

[muttmutt]

What is up with all these nut's out there ???

 

[techo lust]

I guess that's why CA has those strick gun laws, you can't just run out get a gun to go shoot up the nears fast food joint....you can wait 2 weeks to better plan, I guess.

That's too bad, sorry to see this happen to anybody, specially those that risk their lives to make ours better!

Doesn't every state have that? I thought it was a federal law.

The gun had the serial numbers filed off. It was purchased off the street. Just some 60year old guy that blew a gasket. Shame. I've done inventories right down the street from the place at the Ford dealer. Talked to them today. One of their service guys was at the drive thru about 5minutes before it happened. Of course the news had to show a bill board nearby with the ad for this weekends gun show. And the Mayor of West Palm Beach was at a conference that day on illegal guns, so she was on the news.

In MN I can go to a gun store pick one out and walk out the door with. Handgun or longgun. I have my permit to purchase handguns and my ccw so I've undergone some background checks to make this possible. You can't buy a handgun legally in MN without a permit to purchase.

It is a tradgedy in many ways. For those who lost their lives and for their families who will have to deal with the loss. To those who witness this needless blood bath. and for the lack of an armed citizen that colud have ended this before it got out of hand. And the people of West Palm who will be forced to hear the anti's rant about gun control. I am truely sorry.

The Anti's don't get a lot of traction around here. Most people have what I like to call "An Enlightened Attitude" about guns and CCW in general. It's pretty accepted.

Not in Kentucky. You can (and I have) walked into the store, pick out your handgun or long gun, pass the background check, buy ammo, pay and leave with the gun. Did it just a couple of weeks ago actually.

Same goes for Virginia.

 

[North Star]

Same in Pennsylvania. Look, Buy, background check, pay, say "thanks", then leave happy. Great system.

Ok, Im going to throw in my crazy conspiracy theory on this issue.

*Puts on tin foil hat*

Ever notice that these crazed gunman shootings mostly happen in election years?

As much as I don't want to be labeled as a conspiracy nutjob, I always wonder if these shootings are what is known as false flag operations carried out in order for the sheeple to beg for the government to protect them from the evil gun owners and take away our second amendment right.

Another thing Ive noticed is that usually the people committing these crimes are people that are on psychotropic drugs and have stopped taking them. I would have to say that this might very well be the case in this shooting.

Now with that said, why don't the anti-gunners ever point their fingers at big pharmacy with regards to their happy pills and the effects of suddenly going off their legalized drugs?

Of course, we all know the answer to that one. Anti-gun forces have the backing of the notoriously anti-gun AMA who has members of big pharma on their board of directors.

*takes off tin foil hat*

Sorry for the diversion into my conspiracy theories but if anyone cares to expound or criticize please feel free

People are under a lot of stress lately. Economically and socially. It almost as if society is pulling itself apart at the seams. Some people just crack up. I think it's more people, and more media reporting it.

Bingo!!!!

Humans have a certain threshhold for mental, economic,and physical anguish and once that is breached the person snaps. Most do not snap in the way this guy did. Some have extremely high tolerances for all sorts of abuse and others can't handle when the tuna fish on sale in their supermarket is sold out.

 

[muttmutt]

I think that these all these nuts are looking for their 15 minutes of fame. If the media would quit giving these nut jobs all the media coverage, they may think more about what they are doing.

The scary thing is I do not see much difference in our local nuts and these suicide bombers ect that we have been fighting overseas.

Well, I now live in Tulsa. But, I am originally from Long Island New York.
When I applied for a pistol permit in 1995, it took very close to six months
before I got that permit. I used to live in an area called Suffolk County,
on Long Island.

They didn't even allow you to have concealed carry there. But, once I
got that permit, I could go into any gun shop, & purchase a pistol, & take
it home the very same day. As strict as their laws were, & not even allowing
concealed carry, you could buy a gun & take it home in the same day.

With that permit, I could take my pistols to the shooting range (unloaded)
to do my target practice, then take them back home. But, if you went into a
gun shop & asked to look at a pistol, & you didn't have a pistol permit, the guy
wouldn't even open the case!

They would politely ask you to leave. I've seen it happen. Now, I am grateful
for moving to Tulsa, where I can carry!
