Please give us (that are working late) the short version of his story?

(heavy sarcasm)guns guns guns, but didn't hear from John.
they spoke more in the past hour, of guns and magazines than the shooter.
How often have you known someone who is anti-gun to change their mind (short of being attacked or stalked herself), or even to be reasonable about the subject?
To take into account the facts as proven by research, or even statistics provided by the FBI? I can see them discounting some of the foremost research, but how can they get around denying stats compiled by the gov't?
No, if it weren't so clear the guy is half loopy to begin with, I'd almost suspect this was a stunt done by a rabid anti-gunner all hoping to stir up anti-gun sentiment (kind of like the rabid anti-abortionist who hated killing so much he murdered an OB/GYN).
And I don't mean loopy as in out of touch with reality, didn't know what he was doing, should spend the rest of his life in a locked psych ward. If he were out of touch with reality, he'd've attacked whoever he saw first.
I mean loopy as in not playing well with others, not acknowledging the rules the rest of us agree to live together under. (Such as, you don't shoot someone you disagree with.) Psychopath. I think he knew exactly what he was doing. He left notes, he planned this, he took a cab, he targeted Gabby. He's also not said a word to police. So he's not nuts enough to go off on a rant; he's together enough to remember his right to remain silent.
Which brings me to another beef - the Sherriff who tells media the guy "isn't cooperating". BS. He's cooperating to the fullest extent required by law. Which is to say, he requested a lawyer & shut up. The Sherriff either doesn't know the law (doubtful, for someone running the agency) or doesn't like it (possible).
Thats why we need to stay alert and educate everyone we can always.These crooks will never allow a crisis go to waste.They will always try to take our freedoms away even while we're trying to get them back!My fervent hope is that knee-jerk reactions such as these will go nowhere, whereas reasonable people will recognize the need for providing for their own self-defense and do so.
True! People have been lied to by the boob tube and have become mindless idiots in the last 4 decades.They need to be told THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN LIVES! They need to be told their instincts to duck when something is coming at their head isn't a freak accident,it's the way they are made.No one is required to be there to protect them from that object thats about to hit them between the eyes! It's the K.I.S.S method they need to learn!CARRY ON!Where scared people try to draw the line of security vs. freedom most look to the "guardians" to set that line for them. But when the wolf sneeks in as a sheep dog that can turn into a blood bath.
A perfect example is sadly an american day of such tragedy and continued tragedy that I hate to even bring it up.
Every person IMO is solely responseable for there own safety. I choose to take care of myself and others.
Some seem to think others have a duty to watch out for them.
Classic sheep dog vs. wolf. I prefer to keep my teeth sharp, senses keen and flock well guarded.
Sad but true herd mentallity might keep you alive a little longer, but sooner or later the numbers turn against you.
