and can't post the link.

I assume you are refering to this shooting: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/3-killed-1-wounded-hair-salon-shooting-article-1.1186723

I googled and looked at all the responses. None of them say whether or not he had a police record. I did find this:

"My cousin, he's been having problems," one of them said. "He's mentally not there. We've been telling her dad, just keep away from him, keep away from him. Get a restraining order."

Two other women escaped the shooting unharmed, according to WESH-TV.

Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Heather Smith said the suspected shooter told the couple at the house where he committed suicide that he was having "some problems" before he pulled the trigger.

Definately an arguement for better access to mental care.

Unless you can provide a link that shows that he was a legal gun owner then it appears you are just making stuff up.

I will never understand people with your thinking

Was he a previously law-abiding person or not?

You do claim he is one, don't you?

Sick!

not in evidence. For all you know he might have bought the gun from a trafficker who bought from an NYC cop.

You don't even have the heart to feel sympathy for shooting victims.

All I see in your OP is your attempt to take advantage of a tragedy to further your agenda.

And as for you, pot, meet kettle. You have no room to talk, not once did you express sympathy for the victims on this thread.

You claimed that he was law-abiding, so prove it.

Looks like I caught you making stuff up to further your agenda.

So he can splat anything against the wall; trouble is, he thinks he shouldn't have his hand called when he does.

1. How do you know they were innocent?

2. How do you know they were shot?

3. How do you know that the person who shot them was previously law-abiding?

nt

As being the guilty part.

ANYTHING can pretty much be used as a weapon! Think about it! Are you going to ban all objects that may/ could be used as a weapon??

I'll never get your resoning.

What would slackmaster do without his right to call my posts spigottish :p

Jk.

A narcissistic belief that they know better than other people what is best for them.

The word police don't like the use of the "R" word. You may get alerted if they see it.

This weekend I'm going to the shooting range, even more fun

The gunman, identified by police as Bradford Baumet, was served with a domestic violence injunction Oct. 9 and scheduled to be in Orange County court Thursday for a hearing with the salon's manager, Marcia Santiago, who took out the restraining order. Their relationship was not immediately clear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know about you but if I had a domestic violence injunction taken out against someone, I'd never turn my back on a door, and would sure not be caught unarmed.

Can't wait until in the morning when Mike has his "guns are bad news for women" post.

So, a person who decides to murder ignores gun laws. What else is new?

You have been solidly caught making stuff up for your agenda. Commonly called lying.

Records in Florida and Rhode Island show Baumet has been previously arrested for domestic assault, felony assault, stalking, burglary and drug possession.

The article doesn't specifically say but I would bet that there are some convictions in there too.

Seems like everyone here cares about both the victims and the truth except...

It belongs with the tales of the black white supremacist, the "man with an AK47 in Moscow, Idaho", and the poster who resides simultaneously in Oregon and Italy...

It seems your trousers are combusting.

Just another drive by poster that disappears as soon as their falsehoods are pointed out. The only thing missing was that last angry post blaming everything on NRA talking points an accusing us all of being NRA shills.

to Oops-a-loopa

drug possession.

The incident is indeed tragic but the shooter is NOT an example of a "previously law abiding gun owner" as you suggested. He was not an honest and responsible gun owner who just suddenly ran amok.

Not even his fellow anti-gunners did much to help with this one...
