    Post Shooting in Aurora, IL

    Some factory employee shot up the workplace. Four cops wounded. No word on other wounded or deceased. Witnesses said he had a laser on his gun. Suppose Dems will want to ban those now.

    Reports are that the shooter is no longer a threat. Sounds like code for DOA. FNC just reported the coroner just arrived. That could be for the shooter and or others.

    Something odd is reports that the guy clocked in like normal but didn’t start shooting anyone until later in the day. Wonder if he was waiting until a certain person showed up before cutting loose. IIRC these guys tend to come in the door bustin caps.

    Although it is changing by the minute, reports now perp in custody, one dead one other injured along with the 4 police who according to latest have non-life threatening injuries.

    Funny, I was about to post last night that it has been a while since a "mass shooting incident".

    Be alert next 10 days.
    FF attempts may be carried out in attempt to change narrative (neg optics).
    High possibility of ‘multiple day’ coverage event forcing pause on news.

    Q
    Seems too convenient. Message posted at 4:11 am central today. Shooting reported at 1:45 pm central.

    I wonder if there was "chatter" being monitored.

    Democrats need mass shootings now that queen nancy has talked about gun bans via emergency directive.

    Hate to tell the old lady buy firearms are protected by the constitution, the same group of laws that demand the feds maintain safe borders. That make's Trump's emergency declaration constitutionally mandated.

    News conference right now. Five dead, not including the shooter. No mention of any wounded outside of the police officers. They gave the shooters name, Gary Martin. No mention of the shooters race. I’m betting he’s white. No mention yet of the type of weapons used though I heard earlier that he had a handgun and a rifle.

    Wait until they try (not) to explain how he was a convicted felon from Georgia? BUT still managed to get an Illinois Firearms ID card.

    AND....
    How a couple of years ago he tried to get an Illinois CCW permit and was turned down because the background check showed him as a felon.

    AND....
    How knowing he was a convicted felon who had illegally obtained a Firearms ID card they didn't order him to turn it in.

    AND....
    Since he had a Firearms ID card and had applied to carry it CCW, they KNEW he had a gun which they didn't attempt to seize.

    For an added bonus to rain on the anti-gunners parade that was forming up, he was not a white MAGA hat wearing racist.
    Oops, anti-gun paradeis interruptius.

    This used to be called "going postal" but these days they are just another "mass shooting".

    Nope....



    Smith And Wesson .40 cal handgun is all they're saying about the gun.


    This will quickly be swept under the rug and forgotten by the media and the libs for obvious reasons.

    I guess he'll be trading that sweatshirt for one saying, "Illinois State Prison."

    I don't think he will need a sweatshirt, though it is cold in the morgue.

    Obviously, we need more gun laws.

    Yep, I was wrong. I’ll admit to some profiling I guess. Gary Martin sounded pretty white to me.

    Generally speaking in Cook County if your FOID card is revoked and you have firearms, expect the ISP swat team sooner than later.

    I guess he figured he'd better act sooner than later to avoid that.

    That will be the rally cry
    This is pretty close to what I heard last night:
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/16/us/il...ing/index.html
    • On March 16, 2014, he applied for a concealed-carry permit. During a background check process for this permit, his fingerprints flagged him for the 1995 conviction in Mississippi.
    • After his felony conviction was discovered, his application for the concealed-carry permit was rejected and Illinois State Police revoked his FOID card.
    State police sent him a letter telling him to voluntarily relinquish the weapon to police, Ziman said.
    She said she doesn't know why Martin ended up keeping the gun and whether law enforcement followed up with him.
    ...........
    The part left out in the story compared to the TV news was how they don't have the man power to go get the gun and rely on the perp to turn it in
    I doubt we hear much more about that
    So again why not enforce the laws in place will fall on deaf ears
    For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe

    His FOID card was revoked in 2014 after he applied for a concealed carry permit and the 1995 MS violent crime came up.

    I understand this, little surprised the state didn't act within a couple of days after revocation of his FOID.

    Maybe they only do that to white people.
