I guess he didn’t see the sign at the mall entrance that prohibited bringing firearms into the mall. O’Malley will have to have the legislature pass a law that mandates a larger font on those “no firearms signs”.

I figured it had to be some kind of domestic dispute since he could have shot more people if he really wanted to but after shooting the two employees killed himself

The last few shootings have involved shotguns..didnt Joe Biden tell everyone to buy a shotgun..so how come the media isnt saying that Biden is responsible just like the media blamed Sarah Palin for a little red mark on a map

Because that would completely undermine their current anti-assault weapon narrative.

And Maryland has the most strict gun control in the United States..gee, notice that all of the recent shootings have all involved leftist states..maybe there should be gun control, against leftists since they are not responsible enough to have a gun

These shooting do seem to always happen in leftist states with strict gun control laws and they invariably happen in clearly posted gun free zones which seems like something we ought to consider as liberals talk about turning the entire country into a clearly posted gun free zone.

now, the shooters themselves typically have a history of leftist statements but I think they're probably too young, too dumb, and too crazy to understand politics well enough to understand their own political motivations.

The violence of our youth from Chicago to Detroit to New Orleans to DC and now even Maryland is frightening.

You mean the love of his life dumped him for a girl? We all know that gays can't go straight.

and let’s face it, the blacks and mexicans engaging in the urban warfare that accounts for the vast majority of our annual gun deaths are all leftist democrats and are, inarguably, the product of leftist democrat policies and leadership.

That’s the case here in LA..black on black crime, black on mexican crime, mexican crime on black crime and the media here will NEVER identify the perp as black or Mexican..they will show the photo but never identify the race..but if the perp is white all you will hear is white white white

Note, there weren’t enough people killed to meet the FBI’s standard of a ‘mass killing’, so it won’t make ABC or CBS or NBC as a big deal.

“A covenant not to defend myself from force by force is always void. For, as I have shown before, no man can transfer or lay down his right to save himself from death, wounds, and imprisonment, the avoiding whereof is the only end of laying down any right; and therefore the promise of not resisting force, in no covenant transferreth any right, nor is obliging.”
Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679). Of Man, Being the First Part of Leviathan.

Once again, you have to read a foreign paper to get the real story.

Once again, the lead politician credits police for a quick response even though the incident was over before they even arrived.
