"Only policemen should have guns."

New Jersey has some of the most restrictive gun laws in America.

Yah. And can your county sheriff or police chief chief ONE case of a cop being killed by an ordinary law abiding citizen armed with a concealed weapon? I don't think so. Yet here a cop off his rocker killed his boss and murdered fellow officers. We're asked to believe giving a monopoly to the police on guns will make us safer. After a scene like this, that's the last thing on earth I want. But don't look for New Jersey to change its strict anti-gun laws after the police got careless with their own hand guns.

Off Capster?

Only the authorities are responsibl, trained in their use

More defenseless victims. More gun control tragedies.

There's no such thing as a "semiautomatic assault gun called an MP5". If it was a semiauto patterned on the HK MP5 subgun, then it was an HK-94. This variant will also have a 16" barrel, which is the minimum length allowed to us "little people".

Heckler and Koch MP5A3.

If only a civilian had one of these before the guy got five people. Talk about crime rouge cop control.

as a citizen, a militia member, I AM THE POLICE, and correctly enough, I should have a gun.

If you knew the motive perhaps you wouldn't have wanted anyone to stop him. See my link in this thread for more details. This was reported on Fox News Local here in New Jersey

>had apparently feuded with some of his neighbors in Dover Township. The authorities did not elaborate

I believe the folks he went after were the asshole who exposed himself to his (the cop's) daughter and the people who were character witnesses for said asshole. Needless to say said asshole got a pass.

Damn shame.

"To do something like that, they snap," said Karen Picht, who decided to walk her 12-year-old daughter to a bus stop Wednesday morning as the manhunt was still under way.

What is that going to accomplish? Its not like you are going to be able to stop the attack while you are disarmed by your state government.

I'm with you.

The Philadelphia Inquirer had a good explanation of the background story, see my Post #7 here

[F16Fighter]

Is there a "motive" in gunning down five people in cold blood? The guy according to witnesses was an A-One kook.

And, oh BTW, I live not more than ten minutes from this and the other Toms River shooting some weeks ago. Apparently there may really be "something in the water" here.

Peep this

You are correct, however, that mere plebian citizens are not allowed to buy recently imported versions of such weapons.

Note however this news photo of Lute's car.

The MP-5 in the picture is NOT semiautomatic only.

I swear the media is so stupid on guns that they are actually more intimidated by the thought of a "semiautomatic" then they are are of a full on machinegun.

Woops too late

HEAR THE TRUTH.

* George Washington Said "Only put Americans on guard tonight. *

In 1987 only eight states had Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW). Today you can count 33 states with shall issue CCW, and 11 states with may issue.

Then we have the six states with no issue. However of the six states, OH, MO, WI, MN, and KS are working hard and have bills pending. OH is closest with MO, WI, and KS closest to passing a CCW law. Illinois NRA grass roots group is dead at the morge on th CCW issue.
