So the antis are all prattling about a shooting in Georgia. I was amazed I hadn’t heard about it.
The suspect in a Georgia elementary school shooting who fired six rounds in a front office before surrendering to police had nearly 500 rounds of ammunition with him, authorities said Wednesday….On Wednesday, DeKalb County lead investigator Ray Davis and police chief Cedric Alexander outlined what could have been a massacre for the school, but ended with nobody hurt. The suspect surrendered peacefully to police after exchanging gunfire with them.
Oh, that’s why, because Guns save lives and this guy couldn’t even kill HIMSELF. But OMG he had almost 500 rounds in Magazines! Which is probably why he ended it so fast. 500 rounds of 7.62×39 in steel AK Mags is a heavy ruck!
Also the fallacy of the “Gun Free Zone” is further expanded here:
despite the school security system that requires visitors to be buzzed in. He may have followed behind someone who was authorized to be in the building, but never got past the front office.
Yep a man holding a RIFLE walked right through the magical “high tech” security system into the unguarded underbelly which is the storage location for our children.
Oh and Did I mention this event ended without loss of life because POLICE arrived in time to SHOOT at him.
So take-aways are A) Yet another event at a “Gun Free Zone”
B) Blood dancers want blood so bad they pretend its places where it isn’t
C) Guns save lives.
Oh and I dove into my email thinking this story was there and found this one from Les:
Savannah State University officials say a public safety officer’s gun accidentally discharged on the campus, sending a bullet crashing through two windows before it came to a stop in a classroom wall.
University spokeswoman Loretta Heyward tells The Savannah Morning News (http://bit.ly/16M8WOY) that the officer’s weapon misfired during either a training exercise or a demonstration Wednesday morning. There was a class in session in the room where the bullet came to rest, but no one was hurt.
Oddly there are a LOT more CCW holders than cops, yet you here more of the cops doing this. “Highly trained”.
Re. the GA officer, the gun didn’t “misfire”, it functioned as designed. The dopey officer didn’t seem to care that the gun was loaded (assuming he knew it was), failed to keep the muzzle in a safe direction, he pulled the trigger (even if he didn’t mean to do so), and had no idea about his target and what what beyond it. Zero for 4 on gun safety!
Actually the cops did not “arrive in time.”
If the shooter really wanted to kill people in the school, too damned many would have been dead before the cops stopped him. Thankfully he really did not want to kill anyone. And the bookkeeper helped him stay calm and decide to stop BEFORE anyone got hurt. And no one was hurt or died of a heart attack because of the idiocy.
I hope he gets the treatment he needs. In a safe, secure facility.
