The fail...(IMO, maybe you think this is why the shooting was able to take place.):
Seriously? This is implying that a ban on loaded guns would stop this guy. O_O Isn't there already a ban on shooting park rangers and fleeing form law enforcement?

A man who was being sought in the shooting of four people at a New Year's party in South King County early Sunday is suspected in the fatal shooting of a park ranger in Mount Rainier National Park later in the morning.
Park Ranger Margaret Anderson, a mother of two who was married to another ranger at the park, was shot about 10:30 a.m. after setting up a roadblock to stop a car that was fleeing another officer.
She was shot when the driver apparently stepped out of the vehicle with a shotgun and opened fire. It took authorities nearly 90 minutes to get to her because the assailant continued to fire an assault rifle at Pierce County SWAT team officers as they tried to assist the injured ranger, officials said.
The fail...(IMO, maybe you think this is why the shooting was able to take place.):
Congress lifted a ban on carrying loaded guns in national parks in February 2010 amid warnings by critics that the action would lead to gun violence and poaching.
Seriously? This is implying that a ban on loaded guns would stop this guy. O_O Isn't there already a ban on shooting park rangers and fleeing form law enforcement?
