Well I guess it was just a matter of time before some kid decided that school shootings are no fun, lets try the mall. . . . and yesterday a 19 year old who wanted to be famous (so I won’t help by naming him) went on a shooting spree in a mall in
This is a tragedy made even worse by it’s timing close to the holidays but just wait, the commies at the Clueless News Network have already started their spin of the story so here we go -
Now CNN has jumped on the story to spin it the way they want so lets look at the facts.
1 – CNN says he had an assault rifle then calls it an SKS. . . sorry, an SKS is not an assault rifle but a normal size rifle. Now would someone care to tell me how you walk into a mall with a full size rifle and no one notices?
2 – Instead of going with CNN and saying that this is a call for gun control lets think about this. . . here is a pesky fact from CNN:
The first 911 call came in at 1:42 p.m., and the shooting was already over when police arrived six minutes later, authorities said.
"We sent every available officer in the city of Omaha," Sgt. Teresa Negron said. "They came to the mall in lights and sirens."
3- From the AP - Records in Sarpy and Washington counties showed (the Shooter) had a felony drug conviction and several misdemeanor cases filed against him, including an arrest 11 days before the shooting for having alcohol as a minor. He was due in court in two weeks
He has a felony conviction. . . that means that he can not legally get a gun. . . I want to know who he got it from. . . . Guess all these great gun laws don't work. . . .
And lastly this looser left a note saying “now I will be famous” . . . isn’t that great, he wants to be famous and the whores in the news business will grant his last wish. . . How nice of them. If I had my way you would tell the facts of the story, and leave out his name and photos, make sure we know what happened, that is the new mans job, but let his name be lost to history, don’t give him the fame he wanted.
If you folks in the news business didn’t glorify these folks we would have a lot less problems like this. Of course if you news folks didn’t keep vilifying guns and distorting the facts we may have more sane people able to own and carry guns to protect us from nuts like this madman. That is what the Second Amendment is for - so the people have arms to protect themselves from threats foreign and domestic. . . .
And lastly, a pet peeve, lets not call this 19 year old adult a kid, I know the news will. His is not a kid, he is an adult and he is the only one responsible for what he did, not his parents, not society, not anyone else. . . He pulled the trigger, he made the choice, he is responsible.
Up until now I have thought about carrying and been learning all I can about it. This has pushed me to the point where I think it is time to carry whenever I go anywhere. You can’t depend on the cops, they can’t be everywhere you have to protect yourself and your family. These cops responded great, it was only six minutes till they were on the scene, but by then the damage was done. . . . I don’t want to go huddled with my family behind a coat rack, I’m the Dad, it is my job to keep them safe!
UPDATE - Just learned that this mall was a GUN FREE ZONE, so no one is allowed guns there. . . Guss it is a good thing that all those folks were disarmed so no one would hurt the shooter. . . OOPS, you can't be a shooter there cause it is a posted gun free zone! Guess our shooter forgot to read the sign on the way in saying he can't shoot there. . . . and if it is posted gun free, why didn't anyone call him in to the cops while he was walking up to the third floor with a rifle in his hands. . . . further proof that folks don't get it and gun free zones don't work. . .

The kids at Columbine were known as the trench coat mafia. It's winter. People do not stick out for wearing long coats. It's probably not so difficult.
ya, maybe but the news says he is on tape carrying something wrapped up in a hooded sweatshirt. It looked enough out of place that mall security was on the way to check him out when it all went down.
Still say this is a good reason for more people to carry concealed. A few armed citizens around him could have stopped this quick but hey, it is a gun free zone. . .
