Four killed at FedEx building in Indianapolis

[JCSR]

Still no ID of the shooter??????
From an AP article;
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Police in Indianapolis have identified the shooter who opened fire at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis as a young male in his 20s.

Police Chief Randal Taylor also noted that a “significant” number of employees at the facility where the shooting took place Thursday night are members of the Sikh community.

Oh, I'm sure. I'm just coming from if I have one guy saying you have to wait a little longer to get your AR vs. another guy saying you can't have an AR, I can wait. If me waiting means that some psycho can't walk into a gun shop all hyped up, buy a gun and take some people out, is that really a bad thing? Does it suck for those of us who play nicely? Most definitely.
My opinion is just that, my opinion. How do we protect our rights and at the same time stop senseless violence. Serious question. You and I both know that a person did this, not a gun but we have to come up with a better solution than just flag waving and saying, "You can't tell me what to do!". People need an answer to gun violence. Shouldn't we, as gun owners come up with the answer before they do?

We already have an answer. **** all the way off. If the only answer can be either a little more gun control or a lot more gun control, you don’t even belong in the conversation.

Whoever shot those people didn’t do it because there’s a gun shop on the way to the scene, so why the hell not. He (presumably “he”) did it for reasons that don’t really have anything to do with the gun. It’s a tool.

You should REALLY REALLY study up on what you are saying here, my friend. Read and learn what the 2A is before starting trouble in a community that does understand it.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You are a victim of the liberal media anti-gun propaganda. Hopefully, you will stick around and learn...

Thank you. That is a good response. You disagree, tell me there are some things I need to learn, give suggestions and hope that I will change my mind. I wasn't trying to start trouble. Just said, this doesn't sound like a horrible idea. If it is, what do you guys think would work? I was honestly looking for how others felt and now I'm a communist.

I live in a country with MUCH tougher gun laws.

I have to wait 6 months to a year to buy a firearm.
Get through weeks of mandatory firearms training.
I need a special licence to buy a gun, another one to own the gun, and a third to buy ammo.
The number of ammo, guns and magazines I can own is limited by law.
I need to see a physician to get a psychiatric evaluation in order to apply for a gun licence.
All guns have have to be registered.
It's mandatory for me to own a gun safe in order to buy a gun.
I have to travel nearly 3 hours to find a gun store that sell handguns.
Private gun sales are illegal.
At a shooting range I can't load more than 5 rounds into a magazine.
And of course it's illegal for me to carry a gun anywhere.

That's just common sense, right?

And guess what, we still get mass shootings (130 death during a single attack in 2015).
Even worst than in the US.

It's like criminals, terrorists and crazy people don't even try to follow the law.

Guns are stolen from law abiding citizens (very easy since by law all guns have to be kept unloaded and locked in a safe) or bought on the black market.

You can get a full auto AK for around $1000 from your local street dealer.
No ID needed.

You are crazy if you think one more gun law (it's always "one more" until the next one) will change anything.

Very well said Sylvain. You knocked it out of the park right here.

Not one more god damned law. Period. Chicago and nyc both have all these things you have spoken of and look at their murder and gun stats.

I will put this in the simplest terms I can: criminals intent on evil do not follow laws. Period. Full stop. Finite. Done. No more. Allowing legally armed citizens has shown time and again that is the way to stop this stupidity. Let people defend themselves.

making more idiotic and inane laws that do nothing to curb the crime doesn’t help. What DOES help is keeping violent criminals locked up

This thread is a discussion on events that happened at the Fed-Ex in Indy.

Or they'll just rent a truck.

Until personal accountability and respect for your fellow human beings is restored in this society, no written words (laws) will deter anyone with an evil intent. It is already illegal to murder, period. Not sure about your age but when I was growing up guns were openly available in our vehicles and homes. It was an extremely rare case where a gun was used to intentionally hurt another human being. We were raised to respect others. Disputes might have been resolved with a fist fight but only the criminal elements would ever go to the gun. Your foundation for your comments is baseless. No criminal obeys the laws, that is why they are criminals. People lie on the 4473s today that should not have access to a gun. That is knowingly committing a felony. Back up, read up and then try again.

I saw all the pages and thought we had a break in the case, nope, just a FUDD exposing themselves...

Damnit Elmer cover that thing up. And put some pants on man

 

[Sylvain]

Yep, and for some reason nobody called for a ban on trucks after 85 people were killed by a truck.

Yet another attack stopped by good guys with guns ...

I am a strong supporter of the second amendment, but....
Never show your but, just quit talking before it comes out.

 

[PistolBob]

So...no real info about the shooter yet...obviously not a white male. Maybe we'll know more later this evening.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Why no name? Something is off.

Lol.

There is no solution beyond arming yourself, getting some training, and carrying confident in your ability to defeat evil if and when it comes your way.

There is no other solution, unless you're okay with locking people away for life before they do anything, because THEY MIGHT. If you think about long enough, with an open mind, you'll figure this out. Laws don't stop evil or crazy from being evil or crazy.

Leadership is still trying to decide how to play it, either that or it involves foreigners and the feds are involved.

Seems they are hinting at something.

[femurphy77]

Hogbreath going straight to blaming the guns. Who could have seen that coming?

Well gee, there's been 28 mass shootings in April alone: The shooting is one of 28 mass shootings in the U.S. in the month of April alone,

Depends on what building this happened at out there but FedEx is a federally mandated GFZ with TSa style security checkpoints. It’s just not an option to carry there.

If any laws need changing it’s the ones that allow this—turning people into defenseless sitting ducks because they’re providing for their families.

 

[tbhausen]

You're about to become real popular maybe even infamous

Not sure if serious.

Edit: oops, sorry, quoted the wrong post.
