(6,641 posts)is about the random shootings in Maryland, and that the suspect is in custody. Although I couldn't get the "Live Video" to play, I did find another source for the story.
Suspect in Custody After Maryland Shooting Incidents, FBI Says
The reader comments section from this ABC source are indicative of the gun nut mindset in this country. After one reader points out that gun control laws reduce these kinds of shootings in other countries, another reader gives the gun nut rationale against gun control. Somehow the gun nut blames Maryland's existing gun control legislation for the shootings.
Another state attempting to restrict law abiding citizens access to guns and this is what you get.

Yes yes, if only the tree truck driver had shot back. Obviously that is the solution.
ConstAdvocate > dougt 2 hours ago
The solution is obviously not gun control.

Somehow other wealthy western nations have gun control and a tiny tiny fraction of the US's gun crime. Seems the experiment has been done, and the US is the outlier.
There needs to be better control of who can buy guns to keep them out of criminal hands. Obviously our current laws are either insufficient or insufficiently enforced.

How do you know if someone will become a criminal 5 years from now?

Others are free to lay down their arms and let their government and others walk all over them. I have my right to defend myself from all forces that would take my life from me and will do so

"all forces that would take my life from me"???
So all other developed nation's governments are "walking all over their citizens?" An AR-15 will defend this asswipe "from all forces that would take his life from him?" (implying our government wants to kill him). What world does this maniac live in?
This is the TeaBilly, survivalist, radical, extremist armed, end-of-times "militias" mantra, and they are a very dangerous segment of our society. They are supported, and in some cases funded, by the extreme right-wing gun lobby and other Second Amendment absolutists who are blind to the death and injuries caused by their devotion to an implement designed for nothing else but killing.

I'll check by now & then, FW, but to keep up with all the gun violence therein, just in America, would be reading your link 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I'd still miss out on most of it!
.. ah, but maybe I exaggerate.
