A gunman who shot a security guard Wednesday at the Family Research Council office in Washington, D.C., was carrying a handgun and several additional rounds of ammunition, federal investigators told NBC News. Washington, D.C., police say the man, in his late 20s, walked into the headquarters of the conservative Christian lobbying group around 10:45 a.m. When challenged by the security guard, the gunman shot the guard in the arm.
Two federal officials said the suspect appeared to be mentally disturbed.

Hopefully this doesn't turn into political trolling, but rather a serious talk about a real issue. Why does it seem that in recent weeks people seem to be ok with the idea of just killing those they disagree with? Defense of self and family is one thing, but isn't it more telling if you feel the only way to make your point is to silence the oppositions voice?

I am starting to wonder if there is not a concerted effort by some group that is working specifically on gun control issues. Ever since Obama took office thee has been a drive to restrict gun rights / gun ownership.
When Rep. Giffords was shot the left pushed for gun control....
The issue in Colorado....
This issue in DC...
The UN treaty that was not approved because of its conflict with the US Constitution....
Fast and Furious....
It all seems convenient to the extent that there is a big increase in incidents, major incidents at that, just before en election..

It is Your gun laws, heck, everybody in Your country has a right to bear arms, so why are you upset if somebody shoots at something/somebody else. ..... It is what you want, isn't it????
Everybody needs a gun, so why are you surprised if people starts shooting at everybody that offends them????

But for the record, if it were not a gun, it would be a knife...we have very little stabbings here in the USA, while, Canada and the UK stabbings are headline news.
Chose your poison.

Is't that just a sign that our society is sicker than what we think it is?

GREED kills people...not guns.
Of course, NBC includes a Bronsonesgue snippet about the Chick-Fil-A anti-homosexual marriage deal, but despite the political undercurrent w/connotations of vigilantism, we know from earlier DSMs that homosexuals can’t be crazy—right? Worse yet, gun owners!
Then again, it might a part of the anti-gun conspiracy theory. This event shows that gun control is not only needed to keep the crazy white youth from shooting people, but it also demonstrates that potentially un-conservative homosexual vigilantes aren’t immune to Firearm Madness.
