Shooting at LAX terminal 3

Post by Taggure »

Well looks like some bright spark decided to shoot up LAX Terminal 3

Not much facts yet and news coverage is in full swing

I can just hear the Anti-Gun folks crying for more controls

Sounds like a TSA agent got shot in the leg.

After all my experiences with them, I have a hard time feeling bad for him/her.

I've already read one "breaking news" story that said the shooter had a "assault rifle". No doubt that this means the shooter probably used a handgun.

Or possibly a hammer :dunno:

It was Professor Plum in terminal 3 with the hammer.

Yeap, stories are running rampant right now.

Of Course this happens in a Strong "Gun Free Zone" even after the folks in California just passed that real strict gun law.

Just goes to show that criminals don't give a Rats A$$ about the stinking laws and restrictions.

Can't tell from the picture. Most of the gun is blocked by cops standing around.

Sounding like it was a TSA on TSA crime.

21st century "going postal". Considering how dehumanizing the TSA is, it isn't entirely a surprise.

Couldn't be an "assault rifle" they don't allow removable magazines in the Peoples Republic of Kilifornia!

My first impression from the picture is M1 Carbine. Say it ain't so!

That's funny (not ha ha, but interesting), I felt pretty sure it was a TSA agent who did it. I was going to write so back when this was first posted, but didn't want to look like an idiot when it turned out differently.

Hmm, that whole thing about arming on the trained agents might be full of poop. I just don't know (yes, that's sarcasm).

^^^ That was pretty telling. Thanks to the pastor who made that video.

I have to wonder why they practiced "that scenerio" just a few days earlier. Talk about forcing things to happen!

After watching the video, can't help but wonder if it was a show or a put-on by the government to help push gun control. Think about it... no one shot but gov staff and the perp. Perp asking if a guy was his target? Perp takes 3 to the chest and lives? Really? Since when does all that crap happen?

And if we throw conspiracy out the window for a second...

What I find absolutely amazing and no one in the news seems to be talking about... this guy actually used an AR15 with a 30 round magazine in a state where not only is the mag illegal, but the state is at the top of the list of the strictest gun laws in the country, scoring an 81 out of 100 on the Brady Campaign score.

Also, their state makes it to top 25 highest mass murders using guns in American history 3 times.

So... I wonder how that gun control thing is working out for them?

I saw calls to train and arm TSA. Soon, you will be in a Gestapo state, and can't move anywhere without a gun in your face.

How the hell was everything ok without all this security just 15 years ago?

I saw that, too. First death in nine years so it must be a need for police powers. Strike while the iron is hot. They wear uniforms, so they must need more power. Etc.
