And here we go, 3 shootings months away from election time...
Hmmm, how is this going to play out after the pres is sworn in?

Americans sure do know how to eff up a good thing

sadly, people have to be hurt/killed for true discussions to happen.

This....... not to mention 2 of the 3 involved LE casualties.
One... ok... two, pushing it... three? Really?

Whats the over/under that an "Assault Rifle" was involved?

This or 4th one maybe the straw that breaks the camel's back.
And like all bad children, somebody is goig to be disciplined, that somebody is the American public, becuase a eff ups decided to go loco.
And this will not end well, because people will not fork over their guns willingly.

So how is this going to play Into the bigger picture of: high unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, states rights, individual rights....

And let's not forget, ignoring what's going on in the political landscape.

I hope an assualt rifle was not involved. But the fact that LE were shot too, damn that means shit will hit the fan.

I think if there is a 4th or 5th, that it may be time to look a little deeper.
Think of this - F & F was going to be used to implement stricter gun laws, and that idea got blown open to the public. Time for the next idea.

Sounds like maybe a warrant or police call went bad. New York Times reporting that the majority of the gunfight happened at a house off campus.

Maybe, but when you already have a congresswoman shot (politically motivated), a shooting in a movie theatre (shooter's father was going to testify), shooting at a Sihk Temple (culturally or racially motivated), and who knows what this motivation is, and you have the Olympics ending/at an end, you have the world questioning WTH is wrong with Americans and guns. One or two more the powers that be cannot allow, I don't see it. If a forth one comes along so close to elections or even after, whoever is in office will use that to show what his stance is and how strong he is on gun violence in public.
