A prominent anti-gun crusader called out the National Rifle Association less than two hours after an active shooter was first reported at an Annapolis newsroom.
Five people were reported dead at the Capital Gazette building, and multiple more were injured.
Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts used the tragedy in an attempt to debunk a tweet the NRA put out earlier in the day.
“An armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a subject,” the NRA tweeted, which included a 17 second montage of newspaper headlines illustrating times that firearms deterred crime or saved lives.
Watts replied hours later, tweeting “Today an armed citizen killed unarmed ‘subjects’ in their workplace in Annapolis. See how that works, @NRA?”

“Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts...”
Get cancer or something....bitch.
Libs are very simple people.
They will have the most simple reaction to anything and everything.
Ergo: It’s the NRA.
Guesses are just that, but my guess is a disgruntled employee.
You know, the ones that write articles excoriating guns.
Some whack job nobody on the left calls for gun control and every conservative news source in the country rushes to be the first to amplify her message.
They were journalists, after all, and when you actually talk with them, you quickly realize that, unfortunately, they do not serve the best interests of a civil society. Fortunately they are becoming obsolete. Print news is going the way of the rotary telephone.
How about a show of hands, and who believes what journalists write?
Over 150 years ago, William T. Sherman, an army general of some small repute, said, "If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."
Naturally, the Left has to blame it on guns.
Let’s not forget the Washington comPOST totally agreeing and promoting mad max talk to incite, to harassed and war against Trump supporters! How quickly and conveniently they developed amnesia!! Mediapukes!!
“I can spout off with few facts, too. “When seconds count, cops are minutes away.”
Supposedly they got there in 60 seconds...and formed a perimeter. Too late for 20-25 people.
If that reporter, cowering under his desk had a gun, he may have been a little less full of anxiety.
They never look for a common sense solution.
>>Well it was a gun free zone. Until it wasn’t.
Aren’t they all??
The Capital Gazette probably ran some pro Trump material. And paid the price.
“If that reporter, cowering under his desk had a gun, he may have been a little less full of anxiety.”
If he was a democrat he probably would have shot himself.
True.....
Like Sara Brady.
It may not be up to them. Here in Texas I work in a bulding that bans CHL holders from posessing a firearm in the premises, and the same is true of all of the client's offices that I work with.

Same here. I cannot carry my gun at work, but I do carry an automatic knife and keep a Level IIIa backpack panel in my pack.
In the People’s Republic of Maryland, essentially you can only legally transport a handgun between your residence, to and from a repair shop, a shooting sporting event, or between your residence and place of business. The exception is with a concealed carry permit, and last I checked those were very hard to get.
If a journalist there had been armed illegally, I would expect our far-left government to prosecute him, even (especially?) if his handgun saved lives. I’d actually rather count on a good pocketknife than take the risk with a handgun against criminals and then against our socialist government.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer is she? Must be one of those British-mandated dull knives.
It's very clear how it worked, Shannon.
Criminals will always have guns if they want them and unarmed people can't defend themselves.
Shooter is a nutjob that hated Trump, and had a long-running beef with the paper, since it named him as an online stalker in a 2010 article.
His twitter feed is a chronology of crazy.
Agreed. My next sentence was?
“Here it was one minute....”
I should have added that it might have taken a concealed carrier 4 seconds to draw and deal with the threat.
Hadnt seen any new info on the perp
