GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE. . . .

yeah, sure, NRA. If he had a knife, it's doubtful anybody
would have been killed. . .

If he'd made his first stop the international terminal and El Al he's most likely been the only one terminated.

I'm afraid that's exactly where our country's heading, TGT.

What I don't get is with all the tools all over the airports how did this go on for so long?
Or are many as useless as they appear? And they seem so proficient at shooting kids with toy guns but they can't take out a real shooter.

He was trained by TSA wasn't he? It was workplace violence from what was reported earlier. He was able to easily get through security.

Sorry up front for the gun thread - no issue with the debate.

Skip's co-worker dropped his GF at 7AM as well.

Worried more about the spawning and resultant "Grand Theft Auto" generation

Because the gun lobby want you to think that more guns are the answer. They sell guns to the criminals and the lunatics then tell the sheep that only owning a gun will save them from the criminals and lunatics.
I just can't wait to see how they try to explain this one away. "What we need is even more armed guards to protect the armed guards?"

Does it matter to the dead what make, model and caliber killed them?
Call it an "assault rifle", call it a " thunder stick" WTF?
Why the desperate effort to blather semantics?

'Cuz gun-nutz just want to do anything they want, with any gun, to anyone, at anytime, and if you don't like it, you're an anti-Constitutional commie.

If we weren't talking about guns, most would consider such behavior to be childishly myopic & self-oriented.

You guys are fiddling away while Rome burns. A crazy guy shot some people. So why is LAX still shut down? Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Nowhere do I see any mention of the brand, caliber, etc."

Most news sources are now reporting that the weapon was an AR-15, and the shooter had several hundred rounds of ammo on him.

Yeah, I know.....that doesn't mean jack-shit to you gun-nutz.

You know Ron that is just the News industry. People die by the dozens every day in car accidents but you only really hear about the multicar manglings. So who's agenda does that promote?

"Not an assault rifle" Whew thank Gawd that'll make the bullet holes feel better.
