All it takes is to get disgruntled, go get your completely legal cache of firearms and start shootin' at anything that moves or looks human! Hey, he was perfectly normal until the safety meeting this morning. CUPERTINO, Calif. ? Authorities went door to door with guns drawn Wednesday in search of a disgruntled employee they say opened fire at a Northern California limestone quarry, killing three and wounding six, before possibly wounding another woman in an attempted carjacking. Schools were on lockdown or closed in the Silicon Valley city of Cupertino and nearby Los Gatos as SWAT teams sought Shareef Allman, 47. Allman was at a routine safety meeting at the quarry at about 4:30 a.m. when he became disgruntled and left, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Lt. Rick Sung said. He then returned with a handgun and rifle and started shooting people, Sung said. Sheriff Laurie Smith said two people were pronounced dead at Permanente Quarry in Cupertino, and a third person died later at the hospital. Six others at the quarry were wounded and taken to area hospitals, Smith said. Some of them remained in critical condition, she said. If you won't defend yourself and your family, I guess that is your business. Maybe you are OK with the crazy guy with the weapon making your hard decisions for you. I don't feel that way, I'll make my own decisions. If all else fails, I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Do you carry your sidearm at work? They were all at work in a quary. Company policy prevents me from carrying a firearm at work. Since we have a security force at work personal firearms are deemed not necessary. Please explain to me how what you've said has anything to do with this situation? Are you such a good little follower of the government's wishes to disarm the citizenry that you believe that the police have the capability to protect you at all times. Have people just gone ****ing insane? The guy who brought out his weapon was perfectly sane prior to bringing out his weapon and shooting the **** out of 9 people. Facts not in evidence. You have no proof that he was sane 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days prior to him committing the crime. ****, what does it take to get through the thick American skull? If someone was carrying a concealed weapon for their own protection they could have taken out the guy before he got to 2, 3 or 4 or more peoples. |

Your company doesn't think your safety is at the top of the list? What would that security force do if a disgruntled worker got to your floor, started shooting and killed 20 people before they could get to him? Get body bags? And how would you be transporting that firearm in Maryland? You know the rules here. merican skull?

And you're assuming the guy with the firearm wouldn't be the first one shot or would actually have the balls to shoot back or was a good enough aim. If, if, if, if... -- I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. |

The guy who justifies carrying a weapon for self-defense is more likely to use it in the commission of a crime, mistaken circumstances, vigilante justice or domestic abuse. Arming everybody in hopes of reducing violence is insane logic. |

Arming everybody in hopes of reducing violence is insane logic. Mexico has some of the strictest gun laws in the world, I think we all know how that is working out. Those who intend to do harm will always find a way to get a gun. Restricting others from being able to protect themselves is why Chicago has had to take another look at their strict gun laws as they left innocent people too vulnerable. The old saying that "guns don't kill people, people do" is true, the fork and spoon didn't make oprah fat and the pen didn't misspell the word. It's called being responsible for your actions. Government needs respect the 2nd amendment and concentrate on learning and following the constitution and bill of rights as they are sworn to uphold when they take office. They are suppose to be working for us not the other way around. Gun control is one of the last steps before complete tyranny, check out history. |

You have no proof that he was sane 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 days prior to him committing the crime. You are missing the logical conclusion of JPS's words. If a person can be perfectly sane one moment and a crazed murderer the next second, it stands to reason that we should all carry weapons to protect ourselves against everybody. Since we are all just a second away from insanity! I learned to "Be Prepared" in the Boy Scouts. It still serves me and mine well today. You could be convinced to kill in the right circumstances, in short order. Or you could convince yourself just like that guy in Cupertino. No judge or jury necessary. And you might be right and you might be wrong. I'm not comfortable with you or anyone else having that option apart from those specifically trained to interpret potentially dangerous situations. |
