Killer Was a Security Guard

for a company which contracted with Feds.. He bought thew gun legally and was on the FBI’s watch list..

This is all that matters, except of course for the fact that the NRA and their supporters will try to turn this into ISIS Attack..

They are handled by... guess who... private contractors. I think there may be a pattern here.

I don't personally think it's a big leap to considering this an "ISIS attack."

means that you’ll be arrested...You’re mis- informed..FBI did background on this guy...

This is all about easy accessibility of massive destructive weapons, by nuts

Your comment is a NRA statement (wet dream) which will come out shortly..

I don't know if it is a crime to state allegiance to Islamic State; I imagine that it is not.

In any event, I understand that the statement was made via a 911 call placed immediately prior to the attack.

I don't understand your statement "Your comment is a NRA statement (wet dream) which will come out shortly."

type of control over these types of weapons of mass destruction..

This is an attack by ISIS and thats why every American Citizen must have the ability to purchase an AR15 to protect their family.

I would certainly not hesitate to shoot someone who was committing such as attack as occurred last night.

Optimally, law enforcement falls to law enforcement personnel.

I said that in the heat of the moment I find the argument compelling and that I wouldn't hesitate to shoot someone committing such an act.

I didn't say I think more guns is the answer.

12 people with snub nosed 38's is their solution. It's why gun sales will spike this week just as they did after San Bernardino.
