OLD BRIDGE, N.J. (AP) -- Law enforcement official says 3 dead, including gunman, in New Jersey supermarket shooting.

ABC affiliate WABC out of New York reports that shots were fired inside a Pathmark store, around 4 am Eastern time. It was before the store was open.

WABC reports police are on the scene--- they say there was a confrontation with the gunman--who was wearing body armor.

Police tell the station the gunman is dead. It's not yet known what led to the shooting.

Only on the job for 2 weeks and he goes and kill co-workers.

Gunman was wearing body armor? Wtf

People are getting their kills in now before Obama takes their guns away.

Stress from the economy.

And conflicting indicators, like unemployment is slightly decreasing! Yet middle class standard of living is getting evaporated.

Or jobs come back, but instead of middle-wealth jobs they are low wealth jobs. So much bullshit out there, some people snap I guess.

Didn't New Jersey already take their guns away? Or are they issuing CCW permits now?

 

[OverVolt]

I actually don't think anyone with a CCW has used it to intentionally do crime.

Spree shooters don't care about the laws against murder, why should they care about the gun laws, c'mon think!

If NJ has a gun ban, all it did in this case is prevent lawful citizens from defending themselves.

Low wealth jobs aren't too bad.

I mean they usually don't require experience.

No Firearms laws in NJ have changed recently; the state remains one of the strictest in the nation.

It is theoretically possible to get a CCW in NJ. {it's a "May Issue" state}. But in practice: Unless it's your job {read: Law Enforcement, Officer of the Court, etc}, the law amounts to a ban. Basically, you have to convince a Superior Court Judge or the State Police Chief over your district that you have an actual and ongoing need to carry a firearm. As you can imagine, the standards vary somewhat depending on the individual sitting behind the bench. But for the most part, you are more likely to receive official permission to anally bang the Judge's spouse at high noon on the hood of the Governor's Limo with News 12's cameras catching every stroke in High Def, than you are to receive a carry permit.

Also, storage and transport are also *highly* regulated, even for otherwise lawfully permitted firearms owners.

Guns don't kill, people driving and talking on cell phones do.

 

[God Mode]

People are unemployed/underemployed, bored and angry being unable to afford going out other than walking/exercise or loitering at a shopping center. Even going out on dates are painful and unaffordable.

Drugs and hookers are mostly illegal. I don't know what our ruling class expect to happen.

I sense a lot of pent up anger when I'm around the general public.

Nah, just the anti-gun people, giving away guns to the loonies. It's part of their agenda, so that everyone will think guns are so dangerous, that they'll support legislation to make them "safer". :hmm:

This is getting insane. I'm glad I don't live in the states, or a big Canadian city for that matter.

Then again, somebody did recently get stabbed where I live. :/ Seems crime is going up at an alarming pace everywhere.
