Possible Domestic Terrorist Shoots Security Guard In Washing DC

might be easier to just put walls around cities.

Yeah, those laws that prohibit criminals from having guns that are rarely enforced, and when they are the sentence is relatively minimal, really make a difference.....

Tell you what. How about we make felon in possession of a firearm, or felon attempting to acquire a firearm, a crime with a mandatory 25 year sentence?

Strict alone is not useful. We need meaningful gun laws.

Like what?

DC shooting suspect: "I don't like your politics," and a gunshot

Washington (CNN) -

The suspect in the shooting at the Family Research Council walked into the headquarters of the conservative group armed with a 9 mm pistol and shot a security guard, saying "I don't like your politics," authorities alleged in a criminal complaint filed Thursday.

The complaint accuses Floyd Lee Corkins II, 28, of a federal firearms violation and assault with intent to kill.

The council is a Christian group focused on family and anti-abortion issues and religious liberties that recently came out in support of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy. The executive enraged gay rights advocates when he expressed support for traditional marriage.

Corkins -- who was carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches in his backpack along with the pistol and extra ammunition -- "has strong opinions with respect to those he believes do not treat homosexuals in a fair manner," authorities said in the complaint, citing his parents.

Like reselling of guns be illegal or at least if you resell:

1. You must check the background of the buyer.
2. You must document the transfer so that the chain of ownership is documented.
3. And preferably this would be done at the federal level.


(Cue a certain poster to jump in and interrupt a civil conversation with trollish comments.)

let's make anyone in possession of a fire arm or attempting to acquire a firearm a crime with a mandatory 25 year sentence.

I like that idea. Ban guns in the city and put up metal detectors up so the city-slickers don't have to worry about guns. The crime rate will drop significantly!

And for us rural folk, people that want to wonder out of the cirty have to have a viable reason and a permit/passport.

hmm sounds good. also, we can somehow make the wall prevent tax dollars from flowing out of the cities too.

I failed to see how this is a terrorist act.....

Sounds like yet another staged attempt to take away my Second Amendment rights.
