I have noticed when the gun grabbers come out the shootings heat up. They all seem to have 3 things in common, head meds, liberal democrat views, and a computer. Makes you wonder, who is behind the curtain, don’t it?

Certainly does. The hand wringing in the anti-gun lobby is going strong. No hand wringing about the serial shooters in the criminal element. What a surprise. /s

Welcome to another gun free slaughter house, where even the security guards are unarmed.

The FedEx facility has security officers, a third employee tells Mashable, but they aren’t armed. “If you were [armed] there was nothing they could do, they don’t have anything to match a weapon,” said Collin Harrison, 22.

“If you were [armed] there was nothing they could do, they don’t have anything to match a weapon,”

This is magical thinking (or maybe too many “shooter” video games). A man with a 9mm can’t hurt a man with an AK because the AK has more power than a 9mm, obviously.

Instead of disarming me, give me a 22 pistol, 22 mag pistol,
38 special, 9 mm Glock or a 357 mag. Then I would have a chance versus saying goodbye.

Reporting shooter “was not disgruntled”.

Perhaps, but his actions do not speak of tremendous gruntlement.

Companies run by liberals could be dangerous for its unarmed workers.

The male shooter (man or teen depending on the MSM agenda), obviously knew of the no armed guard policy. Wonder if the guard had been armed..?

Media (new york daily news), quoting, “he was armed to the teeth”, and had a “cache of weapons”.

“How is that security FedEX?”

Brings up a couple of questions:

Is Fed Ex’s home office guarded by unarmed security guards?

Does Fed Ex’s CEO and other top brass have unarmed security guards?

Piers Morgan: NRA is assassin society for promoting concealed-carry reciprocity, or something
Hot Air ^ | 4/25/14 | Ed Morrissey

Posted by absentee

Come on, admit it — you miss having this kind of brilliance on television every weeknight, right? Piers Morgan celebrates the NRA’s Annual Meetings and their new push to provide clarity on interstate use of concealed-carry permits by employing a little character assassination:

Who will stop these assassins? > RT @DRUDGE_REPORT NRA calls for universal concealed carry law... http://t.co/weub4OIMGu—; Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 25, 2014

Assassins? Morgan’s perspective didn’t improve much with time, either:

The @NRA is now in paid collusion with gun manufacturers to arm every single American. Somebody, surely, has to stand up and stop them?— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 25, 2014

It’s starting among the headlines. The shooter is counted as a victim.

“FedEx Shooting Leaves One Dead, Six injured” (have to read her piece to determine the shooter is the one deceased)

Some predictions about the shooter, if my profile is correct:

No clear motive will be discovered.

He will have been under mental health ‘treatment’ at some point before the shooting.

The suspect will have had contact with the military, if only to the extent of seeing a recruiter. And he will have had contact with the local police.

Extra guns and ammo will be found in the auto and at the home of the shooter.

Witnesses will say the shooter had a ‘blank’ or ‘vacant’ or ‘expressionless’ look on his face.

He will have been a fan of violent video games or role-playing games like “World of Warcraft.”

An emergency ‘drill’ will have been done at that location within the past couple of months.

The FBI and/or the BATF will take over the investigation.

Social media is alive with the tweets of the “blame the NRA”. No hand wringing over the criminals whom carry illegally and the criminal-serial-killers that are members of gangs and across America, including our Agitator-in-Chief’s hometown, which routinely on the weekends has murders of six or more.

Uniformed and Hypocrites these people are.

Good list.

We may have to add that he was a victim of racism, sexual bias and bullying.

That list looks pretty complete.
He was wearing: all black, a cammo vest, a “cache of weapons”, “Rambo”, “armed to the teeth”....
