Why all these shootings?

Some guy here in Pittsburgh killed three cops and wounded 2 others this morning. Unfortunately this scumbag didn't take himself out. So why all these random shootings lately? I know it's something that happens everyday but there has been a spike in guys shooting multiple innocent people lately. Is it the economy or something or just crazy assholes who shouldn't have guns? The AP is saying the guy from this morning "recently had been upset about losing his job and that he feared President Barack Obama’s administration was poised to ban guns." Fucking gun nuts. If they're so in love with their gun why don't they just use it on themselves?

some do use it on themselves and others don't. I think its a couple things. People are freaking out right now and don't know whats going on in the country/world. Also, its the change of seasons, people always get loopy this time of year. I remember back in school as soon as it started getting warmer there would be more and more fights in the hallways.
Also, I wouldn't put it passed the Obama camp to try and get some gun bans on the books. Cuz you know 90% of the guns used in Mexican Cartels are US guns :roll: ....

Also screw Mexico, let the cartels kill themselves. I feel the same way about inner city street gangs.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. You will still have the same amount of violence regardless of guns or not. They don't possess people, but there has been plenty of threads on this issue already.
Heres my crack pot idea (let me have it because there are a lot of wacky ideas on here that go unchecked). I think the media is highlighting these recent events to build recent public awareness that guns are bad, and give Americans something to be scared about so they support an anti-gun bill that will surely pass. I hope they do pass the bill, because it will show that nothing will change, crazys will still kill people, and the criminals will still do what they have always done

what is it, the season change or something?
I heard somewhere since the economy has gone to shit, there has been a rise in guns sales. So hold on to your britches people.
No way does a guy kill 3 cops before being apprehended if he doesn't have a gun. Sorry. If he comes at them with a knife, he goes down and in handcuffs before anyone gets killed. Period.
That said, I oppose a gun ban.
As to the OP, the reason this shit happens is because there are too many people competing for not enough resources and these people have weak genes that should have been weeded out by evolution but instead they thrive because of our society's structure. At the same time, our society is so dehumanizing that these weak ones that it keeps alive but marginalized end up snapping under the pressure of being ground into dust by the machine... then they lash out. Get used to it. It's only going to get worse.
people are amazing
yeah, didn't you hear it's like the wild wild west out there all over again. :roll:
Panic at the O.K. Corral.
What has happened to the evolution of society? I thought we were past the bang-bang wild west shoot em up days. Why the need for so many guns? Yeah yeah…protection…I don’t want to hear it.
word.
if you can't deal with this fucked up society get the hell out and don't take anybody out with you.
Yeah... And I am not anti-gun. If an adult with no criminal record wants to buy an AK-47, then legally they should be able to (IMO). But it's the nuts who are buying them because they think martial law is coming or that some revolution is on the verge of happening are the ones that scare me. If you want to get one for target practice or collecting, that doesn't bother me, but if you get one believing that someday you will need to use it to protect your country or some shit like that, then you need help.
This guy who shot the cops in Pittsburgh (besides being a special kind of coward), sounded like he was off the deep end:

Holy shit! Anyone else note that we haven't seen Drifting around since this guy went off? I'm just sayin...
Human animals with efficient means of killing....no mystery here.
Haha, yeah I noticed that too, but I could've sworn things were still going good between him and his girlfriend. I read a thread a week or two ago about how she just bought him a book.
my father has a room of gear that could take out the michigan militia..all legal of course.. i think its weird, but i guess im glad its there in case all the illegals come after us..
i got room in my tank leftover from y2k..just as long as you like baked beans and dinty moore stew
Do you think it is impossible for it to happen here in America, or just highly unlikely?
It is my belief that whether or not we experience martial law depends entirely on whether or not our own troops and law enforcement will agree to participate in policing us under martial law. The laws are such that it is "legal" for this type of governance to take place here, if necessary.
It will probably take rioting for it to happen, and with people losing their jobs and having trouble feeding their families you have to wonder, could it be that far off?
Also, if it were to happen, it may not apply to the entire country. I don't think it's impossible to see select volatile areas under martial law.
Their followiers are so goddamn paranoid about a one world government and secret societies some of them are snapping.
thank you Fox, for spreading fear.
China can sink our most massive carriers without a problem. Thermite was found in the WTC rubble. People are getting shot all over the place. Peaceful protesters are getting assaulted by riot police. Operation Northwoods - False Flag Terror that was to be perpetrated by the U.S. Government to escalate a full scale conflict with Cuba / Russia, etc...
Now, are you trying to incite fear, or trying to raise awareness to some fucked up shit here?

2 killed in Michigan community college shooting

By DAVID RUNK, Associated Press Writer David Runk, Associated Press Writer – 18 mins ago
DEARBORN, Mich. – Police say two people have been killed in what they believe was a murder-suicide at a community college in Dearborn.
Deputy Police Chief Gregg Brighton says Henry Ford Community College was locked down in the early afternoon Friday shortly after a 911 caller reported shots were fired.
Responding officers set up a perimeter around the fine arts building and heard a gunshot as they entered.
Brighton says police discovered the bodies of a man and a woman in a room. He says he didn't think it was being used at the time.
The lockdown has been lifted.
Brighton says a shotgun was used in the killings.
Does this list include every country in the world, our just the lawful ones?

"They always think someone else is to blame. 'My boss doesn't give me the right kinds of assignments. My co-workers don't do enough to help me succeed. My wife doesn't understand me at all, doesn't treat me with respect.'"
an example of what was said before, these people can't make it in society. they blame everybody else.
Teach your kids to be accountable.
