Must be a false rumor. I just heard there was a shooting in LAX?

Not a rumor. I know Fox News has it and some other news feeds to which I subscribe, to include the BBC.

Watching the report on Fox.
Several hurt (unconfirmed number), 2 shot, happened at Terminal 3.

I don't understand how this could happen.. Why did the shooter break the law? Gosh darn it, the law is the law. I'm almost positive that the shooting location was a GUN FREE ZONE. Why did this happen? I have always been told by authorities that laws are there to protect us and they are good laws.
Maybe the signs should be bigger, that's it make them bigger.
Or, maybe there should be a PA announcement stating that the airport is a gun free zone.
Hmm maybe it's time to ban airports, that will surely stop the killing in airports..
I think I have just come up with the solutions, maybe I should run for office!!!!:banghead:

Saryan said he was "cowering in a corner" when the gunman came over and asked whether he was with the TSA, even though he was in street clothes.
"He was calm. He was walking slowly," Saryan said. “He must have felt that he was in control, because he had his weapon and nobody else did at that time.”
.... Jeezus Really??? -- Ya Think??? ... and will be the same people who state that we don't need arms to protect ourselves. If there had been some armed citizens, he might have been stopped allot quicker... Sadly California has pretty well disarmed it's citizenry leaving a vast pool of Saryans to cower in various corners... what a freekin hero.

The Associated Press that 23-year-old suspect Paul Ciancia is from New Jersey and was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he “wanted to kill TSA and pigs.”
Well, someone did not like the TSA ... keep on spying and feeling people up, its not an unexpected result.
We'll see if he utilizes a insanity or similar defense.

Since the airport is already a gun-free zone, expect the expansion of the TSA's authority into an armed police force.

You are probably right, expect another call for more gun control. I just don't see why the masses cannot see that GFZ's are dangerous.
Who carries a note with their intentions, whether they plan to survive or not?
Maybe he planned on not living through it, and wanted it to be clear for his legacy that he wasn't targeting randomly?

So much for those exemptions to allow us to carry
Never was able to get to grips with those open carry exemptions maybe Jerry Brown will allow legal citizens to carry using the exemptions in these gun free zones ....arm everyone in every state, arm the teachers, the TSA arm everybody who is legal to carry ....I still carry my rifles And handguns in my truck till that becomes illegal in California

He only shot a few folks .... could have done that with a shotgun or level action and likely got the same or better results.
A crazy person IMO ... likely a democrat. We'll see.
The note? Maybe his memory is not so good ...

Or maybe he didn't want news stations to make up what he was thinking for him if he died. This way every one knows.

Yeah, like that note would not have been "lost" if the government wants it lost .. right?
