Man! This stuff is getting so crazy. It's sad that we live in a country that's supposed to be all about freedom, yet people are getting shot at because they believe in something different then the majority of Americans..

Couldn't have happened in Chicago. They have the most strict firearms laws of any city in the nation. The gun-grabbers tell us that if we only had more gun control this wouldn't happen. I suspect all the shootings on the S. side of Chicago are also either media hype or self-defense by law abiding firearms owners with FOID cards and pistol permits as required.

<sarc.>

Clue: armed criminals neither respect firearms laws nor innocent human life.

Near Chicago, not in Chicago. I thought it was pretty obvious in the thread title

Well, it is shocking that according to the OP's link it was done with a pellet gun (not an actual firearm).

Was an air rifle. The thing was shooting pellets, not bullets. Are we going to start restricting air rifles now?
