Shooting at Empire State Buildings

[Moby]

New York with some of the toughest gun restrictions in the nation has had another shooting (the nightly shootings don't even make the news).

I assume because of the number of people shot (5) and the location, the Empire Ste Building.
And lo and behold not a single armed citizen could defend themselves. NO GUNS means no resistance.

And now King Bloomberg will call for "high powered assault rifles" to be banned and gun shows in Texas, Iowa and Montana, too...just to cover his bases, you know.

Is a shooting in NYC even possible?
It must be a mis-print by the news, as guns are prohibited there.

It just isn't possible to have happened.

And a quote from that story:

Eeerily, just minutes before the mayhem, Mayor Bloomberg was warning about the dangers of “too many guns on the streets” on his weekly radio show.

“The argument guns don’t kill people, people kill people is one of the most disingenuous things you can say,” he said shortrly before 9 a.m. while discussing tougher guns laws being proposed in Albany.

“It does take a person to pull the trigger, but if they didn’t have the gun... We are the only developed country in the world with this problem.”

Of course, King Bloomberg is full of it. For instance, I read recently that Australia now has a problem with home invasions...something that had never occurred before the gun bans there took effect. That man is simply loathsome.

Yes your exactly right. Cannot have happened. Guns are illegal in NYC.

Eight injured. Gunman wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase.

Don't worry Bloomberg will be blaming Texas.

Prayers to the defenseless victims and their families.

Shame on you, Bloomberg.

(Shame on the shooter, too, but that goes without saying.)

Here's another example of the vulnerability of unarmed masses. The Empire State Building is sure to be crawling with police at any given moment. . . and yet the coward still managed this much carnage.

Not only this, but 18 shot in Chicago last night.

Thirteen of them in a single 30 minute timespan.

That gun control is really working.

That cannot be. Everyone knows there are no guns allowed in Chicago or NY.

I know. This didn't happen yesterday in NYC, either.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is now saying some of the shooting victims at the Empire State Building may have been accidentally shot by police in the crossfire with the suspect.

you beat me to it

on the news "Bloomberg says it appears the Police shot several; people, the gunman just shot one ..."
they probably shouldn't allow Police there to carry

9 people were shot or "grazed"; the gunman shot one.
