Oh I understand it. I just think it's silly.

Because you can still get guns from other places?

Maybe they should Ban Cocaine so we would not have a drug problem in this country.

You do realize Gun control makes about as much sense as outlawing Pharmacies because we have an ILLEGAL drug problem in this country.

Where did I say guns should be banned?

I'm running out of reactions to stories like this.

I'm not. This is what happens when good people are not allowed to carry concealed firearms without a license or permit.

It will be interesting as this story unfolds.

Two dead - the perpetrator and his boss who he initially shot. The perpetrator shot the boss, put the handgun in a bag and then tried to escape.

Nine wounded in the crossfire, by whom?

Update at 11:52 am. ET: Mayor Michael Bloomberg, speaking to reporters, says surveillance video of the scene shows that the suspect pulled a weapon from his bag and "tried to fire" at the officers, but that it was unclear whether he was able to get off a round.

Could the NYPD have gotten a little excited and went overboard?

I keep looking for the headline "8 shot by NYPD" but I can't find it.

Hmm.

Hmm.

How about "Mass shooting in Vermont" Nope. How about "32 killed at UVM"?

Oh I understand it. I just think it's silly.

It's Bush's fault but Obama was supposed to fix it.

Hmm.

Bloomberg is calling them hero's, substitute the word cop for armed citizen, and I wonder what the language would be.

This is the closest I've seen.

Nine bystanders were wounded, possibly all of them by police bullets, though none of their injuries were life-threatening, police said. Much of the day, police listed the casualty total at 10 people but late Friday changed the number to 11.

Officials said women's accessories designer Jeffrey Johnson, 58, had been laid off from Hazan Imports a year ago and that while working there, had been locked in a dispute with the victim. Police said Johnson had claimed the victim failed to sell enough of his creations and held a grudge.

Investigators were attempting to determine whether Johnson shot anyone beyond his initial target. All nine of the surviving victims could have been hit by the two police officers who shot at Johnson, officials said.

Several were likely hit by police bullets that ricocheted off large, anti-terror concrete flower pots stationed outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

I saw this story on major media outlets over the weekend. Didn't see Bloomberg though. What a tool.
