Unpossible, guns are banned in NYC.

[daddyo]

I'm sure this will come as a great shock to Mayor Bloominidiot, since he believes his gun laws have made NYC completely safe.

2012 is gonna be a year of a psychotic shooter. Got off to a late start, but dang it seems to be snowballin'!

[gnmwilliams]

Sad thing is is that they will use this to try to tighten gun laws instead of allowing people the ability to defend themselves.

[Ebow1]

It took Bloomberg less then a day to politicize the Aurora shooting, and that wasn't even in his state or close to it. He's gonna go ballistic with this.

[/sarc] Unfortunately, his bodyguards were not able to prevent the right-wing thug from harming the defenseless public

Wait for it, wait for it...................

Shame that yet another shooting has happened. Where is Bloomberg's statement though and further banning of firearms/any weapons in NY?

[dieewigeteufel]

Here comes some more gun control. Idiots like this are what's going to ruin our rights.

[daddyo]

Maybe making them more illegal will prevent this from happening..... yeah, that's the ticket!

[Volphin]

I see Bloomberg's little gun free paradise is working well. This is HIS fault. He is as complicit as the person who pulled the trigger.

Well, raise my rent...

[Guest nysos]

Bloomberg said in a media conference. "New York City is the safest big city in this country but we are not immune to the national problem of gun violence."

Oh geez.....

[Jonnin]

this was in the onion, right? There are no guns in NYC and everyone just has flowers and candy and happy thoughts.

[Caster]

So far, to me, it sounds like the only person the "shooter" shot is the former co-worker.

The nine outside sound like they were caught in the police shootout with the perp (who doesn't seem to have got a shot off outside.)

[herr.baer]

Looks like the gunman only shot one person. The rest were wounded by the police trying to take out the bad guy.

[gjohnsoniv]

NYPD needs to go back to the practice range if they were the ones who hit the civilians.

[MattCary]

"It was not clear if Johnson actually fired his gun in front of the building. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said some of the victims struck by bullets may have been accidentally shot by police officers during the shootout."

It's obviously the fault of the guns...I tell you those guns just go around shooting people all the time for no reason at all; especially the empty guns.

[daddyo]

Some humble pie is being served up to the mayor, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will dine.
