Here we go again.

Police: Killing of 3 Pittsburgh Officers Was Premeditated - News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh

Although no motive has yet been determined for this shooting, authorities have determined it to be premeditated. Suspect was apparently upset over having lost his job earlier in the year and also feared an Obama Administration would "come take his guns away". Shooting occurred in Stanton Heights, a relatively quiet and safe neighborhood in NE Pittsburgh.

Who'd have thought such a law-abiding gun owner in a nice neighborhood could do such a thing?

That same fear is what is causing the shortage of ammo.

He drank the paranoia kool-aid.
I wouldn't be so sure about the "relatively quiet and safe" part of the description.

Notable items in the article:

kicked out of North Catholic High School
training to become a U.S. Marine, but was kicked out of boot camp.
three weapons, including a long-arm rifle, pistol and an AK-47
wearing a bulletproof vest
afraid the government was under zionist control and would ban weapons

Must have been listening to Sean & Rush so much that his brain turned to mush......

I'll wait for the full picture to come out. The police always portray people how they want for their agenda. Like the re-enactor in WA shot in a German WWII uniform. POlice made him out to be a neo-nazi. Oops, coverup for murder...

That could have been exacerbated by listening to some wackos on the radio.

When dealing with people who hear voices from toasters I am sure you are right!

In all seriousness, situations like this are why so many of us were concerned over the Palin rallies last year.

When people are predisposed to distrusting government, it is so easy to work them into a frenzy and make them think Obama's coming after them.

Any rational person would have listened to Obama and know that he has no intention of banning gun rights whatsoever. But people only listen to the spin with which they agree.
