machine gun ??? doubtful... didnt Ohio just pass CCW legislation ?
Witnesses said the gunman was firing indiscriminantly.
"He was just walking, aiming his guns and firing.
nice editing on the story I read.. didnt use and closed quotes... anyway seems like the 2 statements are contradictory ?
hope they kill this guy to save us some money and my prayers are for the injured people

Kiss the AW Sunset good-bye
The facts will not matter. This will be used as an excuse to renew the ban. It will not matter that the ban didn't prevent this.
It is awful that the government created a safety-free zone in this school.
I pray to god that somebody is armed in violation of the law and shoots this psychopath dead.

Just the ammo the anti-civil-rights crowd needs.....can't wait to see whether the guns were legally owned or not....

The major news outlets are saying he has a "machine gun" but attributing that info (and using an inflamatory headline) to a "LeKisha Spencer" age 28.
Bet you $5 she doesn't know a machine gun from a _____ (you fill in the blank with anything you want). Hope she is wrong.
CBS is saying "high powered rifle" and just quoting Ms Spenser on the "machine gun."

Damn it Ninenot! My initial reaction was "Really?". Gotta watch for us newbies! Some newbies (myself specifically) are REALLY dense, so use the <sarcasm> <\sarcasm> HTML tags to make it incredibly clear!
By the way I now know what google returns when you search for "Fully Automatic Bolt-Action Break-Top, 12 ga. Caliber".
Cant believe I bought that for a full minute!

How would this impact the VCCA of '94's sunset?
If anything this supports the sunset, the "ban" was already in effect and did not stop it.

El Tejon, you use too much logic. Logic does not apply here.:banghead:
BTW - Local tv news is reporting:
"It's believed the man barricaded himself with a semiautomatic machine gun inside the building. "
Anything for the cause of ignorance!

20-30 LEO's have gone in. The Vice-Provost of the school says that counselors are available. No kidding!

...black male...
They said it was a black male, in camoflaged clothing, with a camoflaged helmet, with a backpack and a rifle.
I bet its not a machine gun.

Coincedence, isn't it, how the AWB renewal was submitted yesterday, and now this happens?
I was afraid something like this would happen......
Please, everyone at THR be on the alert. We can't afford this stuff.
/me tries hard to not fly off the "conspiracy nut" handle

Hell yeah Atticus! I'm 15 mins away from that school, if I were there, my .45 would be at home collecting dust. Thanks governer Shaft, I have no right to protect my self from an armed assailant in Ohio.
It wouldn't matter anyway. The bills that have been passed have had so many victim disarmament zones in them(schools and universities being on the list) that even if we ever get a CCW bill signed, carry in Ohio will be impractical at best. It's a freakin joke.
Wow. That's a pretty upsetting picture.
Attached here in case MSNBC pulls it.
Anyone think the maniac is still around?
[blockquote]"He had a machine gun, book bag, camouflage shirt, military green hat, white pants and a book bag," LeKisha Spencer, 28, who works in a first-floor cafeteria. "I didn't see his face." "He was just walking, aiming his guns and firing."(1,3)
Graduate student Murat Tasan said he saw police running toward the building while jogging by about 4 p.m. He said he heard what sounded like machine gun fire shortly later.(2)
Dick Bennett, the executive director of development at the Weatherhead School of Management, described the attack.
Bennett described the shots as automatic fire, going off in "fairly rapid succession." They sounded for more than an hour, before calming about 5:10 p.m. Around 5:40 p.m., more shots were fired.(1)[/blockquote]
Either the maniac is gone or the police shot him at 5:40. There are some reports of gunshots around 7pm but only in the msnbc article.

Just what we need.
What posses people to do this?
now there will be more calls to ban more guns im sure
too bad Ohio doesnt have CCW yet - but wait, the school would probably make it against the rules....who needs to defend themselves at a college?
My prayers go out to the victims and their families

Oh how nice. And in camouflage, no less. Wonder how much this one depleted the coffers of HCI, Schumer, etc. And yes, that is a specific accusation. Coincidence is getting stretched a bit thin, ya know.

On my local 10PM news the "high powered rifle" or "machinegun" as first reported has now morphed into a shotgun. Potato gun, pellet gun then BB gun? Media experts.

Just a few months ago I would have told you go get rid of the tin foil hat.
But now, I'm starting to wonder.
