My grandmother and grandfather used to live up around the corner on Stanton Avenue from this event and my cousins used to live on that street where the shooting is - Fairfield. They lived near the dead end at the bottom of the hill.
When I signed on (Comcast customer) the news service reported that this guy was upset he lost his job at a glass factory and was scared Obama was going to take away his rights, especially gun rights.
All I can say is "thank you, ya dumb jerk for giving the anti-gun crowd more ammunition - no pun intended - for their cause."
Prayers raised for the slain police officers and their families.
Actually, it’s not quite that simple. Suppose all we’ve heard about the gunman is true. Suppose his rampage was caused at least in part by his fear of the dismantling of the Second Amendment under Obama.
Chairman Obama (Captain Teleprompter and the Soldiers of Surrender) are going to have a tough argument. “This guy went on a rampage because he feared we would ban guns. Therefore, we will ban guns.” No matter what argument you make, that can’t work. Even pursuing gun legislation based on this is going to make this guy into a hero.
