The amount of concealed carry guns pulled in road rage incidents is apparently on the rise, too
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/25/us/road-rage-guns.html
The analysis was published by The Trace, a nonprofit news organization focused on gun violence. It found that cases of road rage involving a firearm — where someone brandished a gun or fired one at a driver or passenger — more than doubled to 620 in 2016, from 247 in 2014.
It is sort of in line with something I was saying earlier. It's not just about the guns, although I still think it's worthwhile trying to tighten the rules, it's the wild west/ die hard attitude towards guns ingrained into the population, cops included. If all the guns were magically gone they would find something else to arm themselves with

UPDATE 11:40 a.m. EST:Sheriff Tim Cameron has confirmed that the student shooter was fatally shot by the trained school resource officer, according to The Associated Press.
-
It was not immediately clear if the school resource officer's round struck the shooter, Cameron said. The school resource officer was not injured, the sheriff said.
The school was placed on lock down as the situation unfolded.
Cameron said there was "no question" the situation would have been worse if the SRO had not engaged the shooter -
I know Crowder rubs some people the wrong way, so ignore his antics if he does, but this kid Kyle Kashuv is wise beyond his years.
I like how he is taking this specific issue, a mentally disturbed young man that decided to shoot up his school, and is trying to put through legislation that attempts to address it.
Far more effective than the vague statments like "I'm against guns" and meaningless protests that don't have any realistic or specific demands. Or conflating this issue with a bunch of other issues and using it to push an agenda.
-
Being the states there's probably a huge lawsuit about this building but these medications have been linked to a lot of shootings. The theory is if you have these sort of hateful tendencies the part of the medication that helps you disassociate from your troubling depressive/anxious thoughts also blocks you from giving a fuck about anyone or anything . Obviously not something you'd want someone with homicidal tendencies and access to fireams to have.

Another shooter near YouTube’s headquarters, apparently wearing full body armour
:::
Not surprising . Companies that are that political are bound to trigger some with guns and mental issues.

Reports are saying it’s a woman which is very unusual.
Some pretty conflicting reports on the gender so far from witnesses, but police confirm a female.
Sounds like the shooter shot a couple of people then shot herself. So not indiscriminately shooting anyone in the vicinity.
-
Last I heard she went for her boyfriend who is an employee there before turning it on herself.
Will be interesting whether this changes any employees perspective. It would be great if guns were banned..but if they can't I'd sure as hell be more comfortable with one in that situation.

On the other hand, she shot her boyfriend first. Not so unusual.

After the FBI's Pulse nightclub failure, why should we trust James Comey anymore?
[...] The biggest terrorism case of the year collapsed largely thanks to FBI misconduct and deceit.
[...]
The FBI even redacted Mateen’s endorsement of ISIS in the initial transcripts they released of his discussions with hostage negotiators on the night of the shooting. [...]

Btw, it’s been six months since the Vegas shooting and we still don’t know SFA about it.

Media was going ALL-IN on the Youtube shooting...until they discovered the shooter was a female Iranian vegan womens rights PETA activist, and now they’re going strangely silent about it and moving right along to other news...

Mark another one down for mental health issues.

I had a quick look at the the instagram page and a personal website before it got scrubbed. Hardcore vegan, Iranian who was complaining about youtube censorship, western degeneracy
