“I don’t know how you get more secure than that,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said of the building, noting in particular the presence of a uniformed NYPD officer. “How you stop someone who walks in intent on murdering the first person they encounter, who is a police officer trying to stop them, that’s almost impossible. So people blaming the security system are looking at the wrong culprit here.”

Guess instead of banning AR 15s, NY just wants to offer thoughts and prayers...

Assholes.
 
Was the Woman on the 33rd floor his intended target?

Word is that he was targeting the NFL which is on the 5th floor. He got on the wrong elevator.

Yeah, no way the shooter would have thought to get a Mini-14 to get around such a ban.

Well, the gun banners think Mini-14s are perfectly safe. Their knowledge of guns is only Hollywood level deep and the A-Team never managed to even wound anyone with their Mini-14s, let alone kill them.

when you live in a free society, people have a responsibility to do thing right, to follow laws and to not be evil

some won't - and that's just the cost of a free society

as of yesterday there was no mention of the Devil's Den murders on this forum - two people stabbed to death isn't good media news after all, can't use it for political agenda, right ? My point is ... how do we stop violent people from stabbing people to death? ban knives ?

and that's the same with banning any weapon in an attempt to stop behavior - its flawed and worthless and totally ignores the core problem

Right?

Rock n lock mags are pretty dated. Might have saved some lives.

Also NY should ban those as well.
