This is just breaking. More will follow soon on the major news networks.
New York bans guns, and this still happens.
Guns aren't banned in NY, it is supposed to be harder to get a permit. The truth of the matter is it doesn't matter very much how a person obtains a gun legally or illegally it will not stop people who want to kill other people.
NYC has a highly restricted gun regulations.

So basically the mayor gave the SC and 2nd amendment a middle finger.
Bloomberg has been complaining a lot recently that NYC restrictions are not as effective as they should be since it's so easy to get guns elsewhere and transport them to NYC. Seems like good proof of his point, actually.Read more: Multiple people shot near Empire State building in Manhattan, police say | Fox News[/quote]

I hope everyone is ok.
I certainly wouldn't defend him generally.Bloomberg and his latest declarations don't have much credence. What's his latest? Ban baby formula and only breastfeed babies?
Maybe they should ban guns.... harder. Or something.
I am sure die hard anti-2nd amendment loons will say how dare you turn this into something political while ignoring the numerous other times they suggested monthly gun limits, ammo limits, magazine limits and other bull**** unconstitutional suggestions when ever some sicko shoots up a place.
They tried that in Russia, yet the Russian mob seemed to still have guns.
Well, the thread's been open an hour, and no anti-2nd amendment loon has done so. Didn't take long for conservatives to politicize the thread though, that was taken care of in the OP. So in the battle of hypocrisy, you guys appear to have won this time.I am sure die hard anti-2nd amendment loons will say how dare you turn this into something political while ignoring the numerous other times they suggested monthly gun limits, ammo limits, magazine limits and other bull**** unconstitutional suggestions when ever some sicko shoots up a place.
It'll be interesting to see what the gunman's suspected motivations were, and how those motivations are distorted by the extreme ideologues.
CNN quoted witnesses as saying the incident apparently started when a man chased another man and pulled out a weapon, described as looking like a sawed-off shotgun, and opened fire. An unarmed security guard in charge of elevators inside the Empire State Building then ran out and pursued the gunman while calling for help, CNN said.
Police quickly joined the chase and shot the gunman three times, CNN reported, quoting witnesses.
