Gleaned from this:
- Don't they still sell shotguns at Dick's? What now, "sporting purpose" Fudds?
- Maryland is a "may issue" (e.g., may not) state.
- Reporters hiding under desks and hearing the misfit reloading without emerging to take him down (as some antis have suggested in other stories) kind of takes away their argument for insufficient capacity magazines.
- A personal grudge against the paper takes away the argument that Trump is ginning up hate against reporters.
- Let's hope the guy in the other office who kept two handguns in his desk drawer doesn't get in trouble with "the law." He was the only man on scene who did not "feel helpless."
- Now that it's touched them directly, expect the media to be even more shrill in its demands for disarming you.
Well, their own party wants violence against Trump supporters.
ReplyDeleteKinda ironic this happens to their own ilk all of the sudden...maybe they'll do some soul-searching.
But it didn’t happen to “members of their own party.” It happened to proudly UNBIASED journalists.
ReplyDeleteSo there goes that excuse, right?
You can not blame a object *In this case a gun) for the action of someone who should not have had access to guns! The gun was not responsible for how the owner chose to use it!
ReplyDeleteThe shooter was arrested for harassment in 2013 against this paper but they refused to press charges because they felt it may make things worse. Had they done that he may not have been able to get a gun. So much for the let the bully keep bulling us theory. I don't know what dicks sell anymore I never go in anymore, me I'm done with them.
ReplyDeleteMaryland has strict gun laws. That just proves that criminals don't care about laws
ReplyDeleteBob said...The shooter was arrested for harassment in 2013 against this paper but they refused to press charges because they felt it may make things worse. Had they done that he may not have been able to get a gun."
ReplyDeleteActually
1. Ramos was CONVICTED of criminal harassment in Jan 2011, of a woman unconnected to the Gazette. 90 days suspended, 18-month probation. Judge ordered him to get psych eval and therapy. SOFT prosecution, soft sentence. Effectively, NOTHING DONE.
2. Obvious pyscho. NOTHING DONE.
3. Never stopped harassing the paper. NOTHING DONE.
5. The woman he harassed told police he would be their next mass shooter. Police did NOTHING.
6. The Gazette's publisher said he thought Ramos was crazy enough to kill them - but did NOTHING about it.
7. Ramos wrote in Nov 2011 that "Judge Jonas D. Legum has overturned my conviction despite continued opposition by the victim." TRUE?
8. In 2014 Ramos filed documents with the court that he would like to kill a Gazette employee. "Plaintiff has sworn a legal oath he would like to kill Harltey, and he still would." NOTHING DONE by the court, the police or the Gazette.
9. Maryland passed a red flag law in April 2018. NOTHING DONE.
10. MARYLAND LAW:
Maryland Pub. Safety Code § 5-133:
A person may not possess a regulated firearm if the person:
* Suffers from a mental disorder and has a history of violent behavior against the person or another;
* Has been found incompetent to stand trial because of mental retardation or mental disorder;
* Has been found not criminally responsible by reason of insanity;
* Has been voluntarily admitted for more than 30 consecutive days to a mental health treatment facility; or
* Has been involuntarily committed to a mental health treatment facility.
11. FEDERAL LAW
18 U.S.C. § 922(d): unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person “has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to any mental institution.”
Ramos could've been committed / adjudicated with good cause into the state or federal "prohibited person" system dozens of times. NOTHING DONE, so he was allowed to buy a shotgun a year ago, and keep it.
I'm sure there's lots more. ENOUGH. Once again, this is a failure of government, the courts, and the police. Plenty of warning signs. Plenty of grounds. NOTHING DONE.
So of course who do the "liberals" blame: Trump, gun rights, etc.
Can you give some details or a link regarding the guy with 2 guns in his desk. I haven't heard anything about that. I assume it was a newspaper employee?
ReplyDeleteActually he was from Frost & Associates. I'd love to find out more. I have not been able to find anything that identifies him or gives more details except that when a cop asked tobe let in a door employees could not see thorugh someone asked how they could know he was a cop.
