The money quote right here:

Police would not say what kinds of guns Spengler used, but as a convicted felon, he could not legally own firearms.

Here's a perfect example of a person banned from getting guns who wanted guns getting them anyway.

This is a travesty on Christmas Eve. Those poor families. These men were heroes who volunteered their time to make the world a better and safer place. They didn't deserve to be taken out by this lunatic.

Why was this lunatic out of a jail? HE BEAT HIS GRANDMOTHER TO DEATH WITH A HAMMER! He should have never seen the light of day. What was wrong with that parole board?

Gun prosecutions under Obama down more than 45 percent
http://washingtonexaminer.com/gun-prosecutions-under-obama-down-more-than-45-percent/article/2516175#.UNCXuHfZ-pc
Exclude DC, Chicago, LA, Philly, E.St.louis &   Baltimore and we’d probably have  the gun murder rate of Switzerland.

I wonder what the execution rate is down to?

It was most likely not a so called "Assault Rifle" or they would have released that detail right after this occured.

We have let liberals control the language for too long. Any weapon used in an assault is an assault weapon; be it a baseball bat, knife, vehicle, piece of log chain, tazer.

This fact will not get traction in the national Pravda media.

It's counter to their agenda.

Wayne LaPierre personally gave him the gun...even signed it for him. Just ask Prince Morganna.

He kills Granny with a hammer, and Mom and Sis still let him live there? There’s a whole lot of messed up in this family.

Well he obviously learned his lesson and didn’t use a hammer.s/s

Why didn’t ‘they’ just put up a ‘NO GUN ZONE’ sign in his front yard as apparently the law didn’t make it clear enough that you shouldn’t fire on firefighters doing their job.

'Gun prosecutions peaked at 10,937 under Bush in 2004. A current TRAC report shows that the Obama administration is prosecuting about 6,000 weapons cases.'

Good. Perhaps there was too many prosecutions under Pres. Bush having to do with guns away.

Too many, too fast, too convenient all with weird cirmcumstances.

Normally I don't buy into conspiracies but Fast and Furious and Benghazi have convinced me that nothing is beyond this progressive diease infecting our government.

I really do believe they are looking for violence.

Televised hangings - a great deterrent and one heck of a reality TV program.

In New York, felons have voting rights.

You’re right Pinkbell. You don’t take guns away from the good guys because of the bad ones....the bad ones can get them any time.
