With that new Georgia ‘guns everywhere at any time for any reason’ law, I’m surprised that the gunman wasn’t met with gunfire himself. Why weren’t all the other employees packing heat? If everyone there had been packing, I’m sure that the toll could have been much much higher, to the NRA’s delight.

I agree with estamm…The news here is that the gunman wasn’t disintegrated by return gunfire from everyone in the FedEx facility, those slackers.
I hope the police were polite to the gun-toting freedom shooter and didn’t make unreasonable disarm demands.

And people are talking about it being surreal/unreal - seems it is the logical result of that well armed militia. What do they think is going to happen when every person in the state is armed and ready to shoot?

Well, this is what the Georgia State Legislature voted for when they loosened their gun laws.
Guns everywhere…what could possibly go wrong? Well. Georgia Legislature, now you know…

Gov Deal should be oh so happy - he approves of guns everywhere - who could possibly have suspected that some one would use this license to carry as a way to resolve a “difference of opinion”.

What is astounding to me is that there is nothing on CNN or Huffington Post about this shooting. CNN who covered the missing airliner for a solid 30 days, doesn’t have time or space for this. Me thinks that murder by gun has become so much a daily thing in this country that it is no longer news. The NRA is delighted.

With ‘FED’ in the name the whackadoole this ‘well regulated militia’ member was exercising his God-given rights…among them, death.

I share your frustration regarding the lack of reporting on most of the shooting incidents which occur daily. Huffington Post actually did report on the FedEx shooting, however. Their report was in fact the first I read about the situation.

Been in a Facebook discussion with a conservative friend about that other gun nut in Georgia, was hanging out at the little league field. He truly can;t understand why anyone was concerned since the gunman had every right to walk around throwing it in parents’ faces that he has the right to do so. I’m sure this guy was legal up until the moment he pulled the trigger, though I doubt the victims take much comfort in that.
