Lunatic ambushes three Pittsburgh cops with bogus 911 call.

"Friends say the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns."

Gunman 'lying in wait' kills 3 Pittsburgh officers

And yet another laid off individual goes on a killing spree...

Better hope the economy recovers soon..

On the other hand, he had in his possession an AK-47, an assault weapon that will fall under the upcoming assault rifle ban. So the man was half right..

And he's the poster child for why they should be banned.

BTW, this is a duplicate thread.

Half right? Oh, please be my guest and convey your heart felt sympathy to the families, friends, and co-workers of the three officers. DB!

Sorry about that but there is a not so subtle difference.

Don't you have this story confused with another?

The man who shot 5 cops today (3 died) did not make the cut in boot-camp, I believe.

The guy who went on a killing spree in NY yesterday lost his job.

PITTSBURGH —..."Police Chief Nate Harper said the motive for the shooting isn't clear, but friends said the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns."

Pittsburgh, laid off from his job, believed Obama was going to take his gun away. Was thrown out of boot camp.

One friend, Edward Perkovic, said Poplawski feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon". - The Press Association

You wonder if these shooters are obamabots sent out to wreak havoc and turn public opinion against the second amendment. There was a similar spike in shootings at different times in the clinton years.

The righties argument that guns do more good than harm is being sorely tested lately. Even the guy who shot the robber in the fast food joint should get some prison time, IMO.
