[piasabird]

I just heard on the radio 97.1 fm newstalk, there were shots fired in the capital and now the capital is on Lockdown.

Wasnt it already on lockdown due to everything being closed? I heard they couldnt close MT. Vernon as it is privately owned. So they did the most ass-jackery thing they could do and put roadblocks on the public road leading to it.

CNN is reporting near the Senate Hart office buildings.

Rand Paul was doing a coffee sit down there earlier. Ted Cruz was also in the area so I'll assume it was a pissed off liberal.

Liberals don't own guns, dummy.

Wait, so a gun went off in DC? The simultaneous murder and gun-control capital of the United States? Yeah, that's news.

Oh wait it happened in the supposedly clean part of DC? Near DA CAPITAL?! ZOMG BREAKING NEWS!!!

Why am I not suprised.....

Jesus guys grow up. Can't you idiots just once not start the bullshit gun control stuff and leave it about the actual incident for a change?

And Reid's office saying at least one person injured.

Tell it to Feinstein, I expect a statement condemning assault weapons shortly, regardless of whether they were used or not.

Last I heard one cop was injured. Seriously, having lived just outside DC for about 90% of my life this is not news. It may be some political nut but it's just as likely crime spill-over from the shitty parts of DC.

Of course they don't own them, they aquired them through other means

Several senators were outside the Capitol when they reported between four and six shots fired. Police officers in a high-speed chase pulled over a black car in front of one of the Senate office buildings, but witnesses said a man fled on foot with a gun visible.

So they were chasing this guy before-hand. Yep, probably crime spill-over.

Ohh man, irony.

Well another day, another mass murder. When we finally get to the point of a mass murder EVERY day, then maybe America will admit that it has a problem.

Well hopefully only politicians got killed.

Link to mass murder? I'm counting 1 "injured" cop. Which for all we know means he twisted his ankle chasing the guy.

Edit: Oh right, you're a troll. Have fun jerking off to this post.

If one criminal is a mass murder what is it when your gang banger buddies kill folks on basketball courts across the country with illegal firearms?

One cop injured, so much for a 'mass murder'.

This can't be true. DC is a gun free...oh forget it.

Since mass murders are incredibly rare, it will probably be a long time before we reach your goal.

Sorta' like the push to ban semi-auto rifles, which are almost never used in crimes, instead of pushing to ban pistols, which are almost always the guns used in crimes.

But don't do any deep thinking on the subject.
