Sybeck1~:” What kind of gun killed her husband? “
A Ruger P-89 , 9mm pistol , firing Winchester/Olin Black Talon rounds. Fired 30 rounds: 6 killed,19 wounded.
The Black Talon rounds are jacketed , hollow point with perforations to expand on contact with tissue.
The perp , Colin Feruson , was paranoid and delusional.
He opened fire on 12/07/93 on a Long Island RR , during rush hour, as the train started to enter the station.
He was temporarily subdued by other passenegers ,
and was shot by an off duty officer who was at the station waiting his wife who was on that train .
Interesting enough , knowing that we are in a letigious society , there is a court case :
(Mc Carthy vs. Strum,Ruger ,& Company ; 916 F. Supp. 366 (S.D.N.Y. 1996 ))
The court case was dismissed - no defective design
The fact that he was apprehended and then shot by an off-duty officer
signifies the need for an armed society.
From an expert : “ The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by law enforcement: 14.
The average number of people shot in a mass shooting event when the shooter is stopped by civilians: 2.5.
The reason is simple.
The armed civilians are there when it started.” ~ by Larry Correia
Well, shitferbrains, the CT massacre was perpetrated by a madman who didn't buy anything - he stole his mother's guns (all legally acquired) and then killed her. It is kind of difficult to stop someone like that with mere laws. They're not going to say, "Damn, I was just going to murder a bunch of little school kids, but not only is there a sign saying that I can't enter the school with guns, but now the gun itself is illegal. Shucks, maybe they'll change the law so I can kill me some chillun next time the urge strikes me."
I will not comply. Unconstitutional laws are void ab initio, no matter how emotionally involved someone in favor of that law may be. IOW, FUCM!

The common ground with all the mass shootings is that the perp is either on psychotrophic medications , or need to be.

This hypocrite is a champion of partial-birth infanticide. Her credibility is zip.
