Four military members were killed this morning and at least one police officer injured, when a gunman opened fire on military recruitment offices and a U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Witnesses said they saw a single man fire a high-powered rifle at a military office in a strip mall from a convertible silver Mustang, before speeding away, around 10:50am.

As an example;

I know my either side neighbors well enough (as do they, me) to be a witness in a court of law to some elements of their daily and character

NO ONE operates in society invisibly

Not true, many who are quiet and just come and go may have no one know them or their thoughts and deeds at all.

Therefore the smart TVs which all have built in cameras, the reviewing of all Internet activity and listing of all you buy, read and see as best they can.

Look in the future for a push to end money so they can end the gray market, secondary unrecorded sales, and to thereby force even more self disclosure.

A domestic terrorist.

Does he dust and wash the drapes? Mop the floors, preferably in a little black-and-white outfit with miniskirt?

If not, he's not the kind of domestic I'd want in MY home!

MoHAMmad Hussein? If so, 0bama will say it’s just an isolated incident. No terror attack. Just one person acting out.
Well, you are exactly right. the White House today in a press conference said that it was a lone shooter, and that they are looking at if it was terror. Meanwhile Obama is spending the weekend with his daughters ,etc.....blah blah blah...they are totally unconcerned by this shooting. Guess it has to be a white guy with black victims to get their attention.

Yes, according to reports they are shells ejected from the weapon fired out the window.

It has been patently shown that 0bama hates America. And his wife too; supported by the MSM who heap nothing but praise on him. Almost like the North Korean news on Dear Leader.

Today’s FBI are mostly lawyers, that is the problem.

They’re saying that he was born in Kuwait.

And trained in Jordan. That appears to have been prior to his attempt to obtain employment inside an Ohio nuclear power plant.

All military should all be required to open carry while on duty. Everyone gets a 45. Thoughts about this, good idea, bad idea, your idea??

The M1911 .45 hasn't been standard since the JSSAP Program circa 1980-1984 determined that the 9mm Beretta M9 was much more suitable, coincidentally at the time we were trying to sell F16 fighter planes to Italy.

Now many of the aluminum alloy-framed M9s are wearing out, it's oversized grip results in a really uncomfortable hold for women, Hispanic and other shooters with small hands, and the investigators of the Army Criminal Investigative Division gave it up long ago as oversize and went to the SIG 228, AKA the M11 in Army service.

There've never been enough M9s, and reports from the Afghan/Iraq sandboxes of failures to stop determined enemies even with full magazine dumps are far too common. There aren't even enough M9s to give one to every member of the M1A2 tank crews, nor to each newly commissioned West Point and ROTC officer.

So the Army is looking VERY hard at a new *modular* service handgun whose grip can be fitted to the user's hand via replacable plastic inserts. This is not terribly new; it's a feature of the Generation 4 Glocks and some S&W M&P contenders for the new issue piece. It'll probably be a 9mm, but there's at least a good possibility that police/ federal agency-type jacketed hollowpoint ammunition may be authorized, at least for self-defense use inside the United States, as reported by the Army Timesprobably after the current commander-in-chief is the former commander-in-chief.

I was trained as a young tank crewdawg at Ft Knox on the 1911A1 .45 autopistol just almost fifty years ago. And it's what I'm wearing right now, and still in an old M3 tanker's shoulder holster. But I don't think it's necessarily the best choice for everybody. It just works for me.
