over the last few days anoter string of shootings and murders. Technically not a mass shooting when it does not happen all at once.

I like this one:
Woman Shot After Opening Fire Inside Dallas Love Field Airport
It was a nice example of Texas style resolution of a personal problem. Apparently, a woman believed her husband was cheating on her. So she got her gun and went to the airport. Once there, she changed her clothes in the restroom for some reason, exited, and announced her problem--that her husband was cheating on her and she was therefore "Gonna blow this sucker up". She fired a round at the ceiling, and it was reported that most of the shots were apparently fired at the ceiling. Naturally, everyone began running or dodged for cover. But think about how considerate this woman was.
1) She didn't actually shoot anyone.
2) She gave everyone a fair chance to find cover.
3) She wasn't wearing body armor.
4) She apparently hadn't brought an AR-15 with a high capacity magazine designed to commit mass murder.
5) The police and/or airport security didn't run away or hunker down behind shields. They just shot her.
The woman was taken away to the hospital, and I don't know her condition now. However, it was good that no one else was shot. The only thing is that this was Texas. Why wasn't some good guy civilian with a gun also shooting at her? Are people not allowed to carry their guns for personal protection openly in Texas airports? If not, this sounds like a loophole in gun rights laws that the Texas legislature needs to fix.
I think it was just someone who was driven to the brink and wanted to make a huge public statement but reallly did not have it in her to shoot at anyone. Plus, it doesn’t seem like her husband was in the crowd. Such a tragedy. Now the bastard doesn’t have to go through a divorce and worry about division of assets. Police did him a huge favor.over the last few days anoter string of shootings and murders. Technically not a mass shooting when it does not happen all at once.

I don't think this is a mass shooting, but a suicide by cop.
Do you also have choice words for women who allegedly cheat, or only for men? Or are you, as I suspect, on the side of cheating wives because they are female?Now the bastard
She is not dead. She can still get half his assets in a divorce. If there is even a cheating husband at all. She is coocoo for cocoa puffs.doesn’t have to go through a divorce and worry about division of assets. Police did him a huge favor.
A handgun is a lot easier to conceal in your bra and almost as deadly as an AR15.4) She apparently hadn't brought an AR-15 with a high capacity magazine designed to commit mass murder.
Derec, I really should not have written that as flippantly as I had. It seems obvious that she was extremely angry and very overwrought. It seems pretty clear that she did not actually intend to shoot anyone. Only because she obviously didn't actually intend to shoot anyone (because she didn't shoot anyone or aim at anyone) did I write so flippantly.Do you also have choice words for women who allegedly cheat, or only for men?

To put it mildly.Derec, I really should not have written that as flippantly as I had. It seems obvious that she was extremely angry and very overwrought.
From what I have read, she did point the gun at the officer right before she got shot.It seems pretty clear that she did not actually intend to shoot anyone.

Well that's good. Although I do not think you would be flippantly calling some guys wife names if he chose to shoot up an airport ostensibly because of her cheating.To me, the pronouns don't matter; the sex doesn't matter. I'm glad no one was killed. I'm happy if she survives. No, I don't think anyone should shoot their spouse,
That's an awfully specific scenario ...even if their spouse is a lying cheating bastard who gave them the clap and emptied their bank accounts and burned all of their photo albums.
I was in the zone, I guess. Blame my parents for playing all of that country music when I was a kid.To put it mildly.Derec, I really should not have written that as flippantly as I had. It seems obvious that she was extremely angry and very overwrought.

IV.4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."Raskin went on to read two sections of the Constitution, Article IV Section 4, and Article III Section 3, which classify armed resistance against the government as "domestic violence" and "treason."
He then invalidated the "insurrectionist view" of the Second Amendment, which Roy argued stems from a speech by Founding Father Patrick Henry in 1778, in which Henry argued for individuals to have the right to bear arms to defend "public liberty."

Raskin concluded that even former conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who subscribed to an originalist view of the Constitution, agreed that the Second Amendment did not protect the right for anyone to carry an assault rifle in any case, as he articulated in the District of Columbia v. Heller decision.
"We're not telling them to repeal the Second Amendment, we're telling them to read the Second Amendment," he said.
Congressman Jamie Raskin, who represents Maryland’s 8th District in the U.S. Congress, is a Professor of Law Emeritus at American University Washington College of Law, where he taught courses such as Constitutional Law, The First Amendment, and Legislative Process for more than 25 years. He is founding Director of the law school’s Program on Law and Government (with the late Tom Sargentich).
Yes it did. But he should not be the only one.Uvalde schools police chief Pete Arredondo fired over botched response to shooting that killed 19 students and 2 teachers

Took them long enough.
Like that stabbing in Saskatchewan with 10 dead and 18 injured.With recent stabbings it is looking like the availability of knives may need to be restricted.

In light of the USA's homicide rate being more than 3 times higher than Canada's, the need for gun control in the former nation seems to be more acute.Like that stabbing in Saskatchewan with 10 dead and 18 injured.
1 suspect in mass stabbing in Canada found dead, the other is still missing
Maybe Canada needs to ban those assault knives ...
