Gunmen Kills Three Pittsburgh Police Officers [Drudge says he feared Obama's gun ban]
http://kdka.com/local/officers.shot.Stanton.2.975820.html ^

Poplawski's friends at the scene described him as a young man who thought the Obama administration would ban guns.

One friend, Edward Perkovic, said Poplawski feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon."

Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said he feared that President Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama."

I wonder if he was a member of a ‘militia’? It’s coming.

Obama’s fault

Absolutely right. This needs to be repeated often and loudly;

"Obama caused this man to kill these people, not the guns."

Sad part is these killings this man orchestrated will play right into the hands of Obama when he says this is why he must ban assault and any other type of weapons to save America.

Obama will make a speech blaming Right-wing talk radio.

Rush, brace for backlash.

This could very well get the fairness doctrine passed.

While I understand how the guy felt, Obama is not going to take our guns away (although he will try).

Anyone else wondering how all this stuff is happening at once?

It’s interesting there are actually a couple posters (duh) over (duh) at (duh) some (duh) other (duh) website.

who as a result of this, are suggesting that gun control doesn’t belong in the democrat party platform.

It is obvious this guy was derranged. May the families of the fallen officers find solace in God’s love.

I’m kinda surprised that their has not been more people trying to whitewash this sad turn of events, we still have plenty of obots around, yet I do not see them crying foul about this man and his belief that he will lose his guns.

What worries me a lot is what will happen when this starts happening on a daily basis. Not all people will just hand over thousands of dollars of guns and ammunition.

“I wonder if he was a member of a ‘militia’? It’s coming.”

I don’t want to see cops killed if that’s the case. I want them on my side. :)

I heard this driving home from work tonight. Even FOX news (which my local radio station uses at the top & bottom of the hour) added that cr@p about the guy being afraid he would lose his guns. Yeesh!

This is going to get ugly, Folks. We’ve seemingly lost ‘An Individual Right A Day’ since that poser won office...less than 100 days ago! Grrrrrrr!

I hope someone smarter than me is making a chart or something. If we live through the next four years, it’s going to be a freakin’ miracle!

Thanks loser for “supporting” gun rights. I hope your prison stay is long and painful.

Actually there is a fairly large contingent over there that is outspoken in their support of the Second Amendment.

Fox News said earlier that those who knew him were not surprized at all. He was not the "nice guy neighbor" you would never expect this type of behavior from.

He was a known trouble maker and was known by the police.

Just doing my part to repeat this.

The story is very confused. One factor, evidently, is that he lost his job, and was depressed. It also says that there was a “domestic disturbance,” but doesn’t go any further than that. Does he have a wife, family, or live with his parents? We don’t know.

Also these strange friends of his. What does any of that have to do with his job loss or the domestic disturbance? Who knows? A LOT of people think that Obama wants to take guns away, and a LOT of people have been stocking up. But that has no necessary connection at all with this incident.

Still, I agree. The press will be glad to cooperate as soon as Obama starts to complain about “right wing militias.” And so will the FBI. And if the police start getting shot like this, they may get drawn into it, too.

I'll wait till the perp states all the reasons for his crimes out of his OWN mouth, not what the friends are telling the media why he did what he did.

It may be perfectly true he's afraid of losing his guns and he doesn't like the Messiah. But I want to hear what HE says why he did it.

And I want to know if he's just deranged and NOT a right-wing, homophobic, racist, maggot-infested, gun-stashing, Bush-loving, conservative white male.

I hope y'all get my drift.
