News crew killed on air

I wonder if the murderer had thoughts about backing out. In that GoPro footage he's waving the gun around unnoticed for several seconds, pulls it back, then you hear him breathing heavily just before unloading his Glock on those people.

The randomness is really upsetting. Three people just doing their jobs at what looks like a very safe place, being pleasant with each other, nice day/weather, and then shots go off.

His racism was too much for him to overcome.

I think he was waiting for the camera to pan back so people would have to see them get shot on live tv. You can hear him say b!tch before he does it so my guess is he was just waiting for the right time for maximum effect

I sure hope there is indeed a hell for sick POS like him

I'm tired of seeing senseless killings like these. I'm even more tired of politicians that think they can change/control human nature and our tendency towards evil via restrictive firearm laws.

I had this conversation with my girlfriend yesterday. It's a really tough issue to have an answer for. Should a guy in that mental state be allowed to just go out and buy a gun from a store? No probably not. Could he have got a hold of one anyway if he did have gun restrictions placed on him? Yes, absolutely. It will be a talking point for all the political candidates soon enough. But if you ask me, both sides will do a whole lot of talking without saying much at all. There's just not a clear cut response to reverse this trend

Smith Mountain Lake/Moneta is extremely safe. Lots of wealthy folks and families around.

The weather here in Roanoke was wonderful and sunny and bright, but I couldn't help but notice a kind of sadness hanging all around the city all day.

There's another thread about gun control, but it would take me most of a day to catch up. If guns become far more restricted, then what happens to the hundreds of millions of them already out there and to the citizens that own them? Compulsory home searches and account for every gun? Will anybody buying a gun be subject to an extensive background check and mental health evaluation... even Farmer Bubba that needs to protect his critters from predators. How many more are killed or maimed in car crashes every year? Should vehicle use be restricted? How much more aggressive will LEOs be toward the populace if their arms are restricted... will registration databases be checked for the potential firing power of self defense before kicking in citizen's front doors in? The left should give up on this issue. The benefits far outweigh the high profile tragedies.

Don't have a dog in this fight but they would probably regulate ammo instead of kicking in doors and taking people's guns

Does ammunition have a limited shelf life? I don't own an arsenal but now wonder if I should stock pile ammo.

Edit: that is a serious question BTW... not a quip and run, drive by comment. Thanks.

Probably but unless you left it out at the mercy of the elements it's not something you'd really have to worry about in the foreseeable future. Really any gun control measures they would ever take wouldn't be against the average Joe it would be biased against people that live in the inner cities where violence is more the norm than the exception, the government isn't worried about what guns we have because their arsenal is far superior compared to ours unless they start selling military grade drones. Of course I'm saying this with a decent amount of firearms and am not planning on giving them up anytime soon

They will eventually make ammo "expire" after a certain period of time.

I just don't understand why the older I get the more I see of this,it could be because of greater news stories,that are on TV as soon as it is happening or are people just getting crazier ?

when I was young,i seen a lot of fights,but other than the occasional knife or beer bottle used,there wasn't hardly ever a gun involved,are times that different ? or are there more crazy people running around ?


I don't understand why there is so much killing going on,hell give em a ass whipping if you think they deserve one and if you can't keep your mouth shut,that was the way I was raised

If stored properly, ammunition does not expire. I've known guys to shoot WWII munitions recently. At one time in the past few years, some dumbass politician was proposing a law that would require ammunition manufacturers to utilize a primer that had a shelf life and in essence, gave the ammo a usable life. I think (hope) it died and never came to be. I mean, they're trying to hurt the preppers who sit on 10,000 rds of 5.56 or 7.62. The people that do these mass killings blow through 10-200 rds that they just bought so a shelf life won't do anything but harm doomsday preppers or hunters that buy in bulk when it's on sale (because .308 and up is god awful expensive).

Is humidity the primary contributor to ammo going bad? Can rounds be rebuilt/repacked as they are manufactured today or are they sealed in such a manner that the chemicals/powder inside can not be accessed without destroying the "container"?

I don't know a lot about it but as long as the cases are brass they can be reloaded with new powder, primer, and slug. Could be wrong but I don't think you can do that with steel casings

What are the rules on the private sale of ammunition? If I owned 100,000 rounds and wanted to unload, say 10,000 rounds, does the government step in and prevent me from liquidating some of my private property?
