Multiple marines, police officers wounded and killed in attack in Chattanooga, TN

[quote]Gunshots were fired at a military recruiting center and a Navy Reserve center in different parts of Chattanooga, Tennessee, late Thursday morning, officials and witnesses said.
One officer is "down" in connection with the shootings, Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke told reporters. He was not specific about the officer's condition.
Witnesses said a man sprayed bullets at the glass doors of a military recruiting center at a strip mall on Lee Highway, and the U.S. Navy tweeted Thursday that a shooting happened at a separate location -- the Navy Reserve center on Amnicola Highway. The two sites are 7½ miles apart.
By 1:15 p.m., the "active shooter situation" was over, police tweeted.
There are no indications so far of any link to terrorism, two sources briefed on the case said.
Gina Mule, a server at a restaurant, said she saw a man who'd been in a silver convertible Mustang, firing a "high-powered rifle" at the recruiting offices at about 10:50 a.m.
She said she first heard "Pow, pow, pow!" She then went to a window, through which she said she saw the man firing shots.[/quote]

My money's on a sovereign citizen or similar.
CNN is saying 3 marines are killed plus the shooter for a total of four. Fox News and MSNBC are saying 4 marines plus the shooter for a total of five. Mayor said 4 marines also I think.
Good to see gun free zone stickers work.

well to be fair the gun didn't enter the zone, only the projectiles
working as intended
No link to terrorism? ISIS tweeted about this before the attack happened. I call bullshit on that statement until we know more information.

I literally just said the same thing my father said when he called out the name to me.
Interestingly enough I was going to be stationed at the Navy Reserve center there after bootcamp.

I have no idea how americans defend their gun culture and laws when it obviously doesn't work.
Seriously.
Ps. I'm the owner of a shotgun in the UK.

Yeah what a surprise that people who are worried about gun violence and death would see this as another example.

it's just an isolated incident, just like those other several dozen high-profile shootings in the last year :downs:
[QUOTE=mecaguy03;48223779]Incoming anti-gun people using this to further their position[/QUOTE]I never understood this, why the hell wouldn't people be anti-gun at this point?
[QUOTE=SKEEA;48223519]No link to terrorism?/QUOTE]
Aren't you aware? Obama ended terrorism when Bin Laden died. There's no such thing as terrorism.

because restrictive gun laws dont work
[QUOTE=mecaguy03;48223779]Incoming anti-gun people using this to further their position[/QUOTE]
Because it's not like pro-gun rights people do the exact same thing right? "Oh my god that kid just shot up a school!!! Give the teachers guns!!! The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun!!!"
Have some real points or fuck off. The number of actually noticeable shootings in the US is getting fucking silly, but thanks to some old piece of paper you're all so damn insistent that access to firearms isn't causing this violence to occur easily.
anti-gun legislation spits in the face of logic and individual rights
i really need to stop trying to automerge
[QUOTE=Leon;48223966]because restrictive gun laws dont work[/QUOTE]
idk can't say we have many spree shootings over here or many shootings in general really. The last big one I can think of was that guy who rolled around with a sawn-off shotgun years ago that gave us an incredible picture of a overly psyched up taser cop.
And no, the guns won't come from Mexico if you lock that shit down. Guns go to Mexico, drugs come back.

Dump your argument out the window, shitting on the constitution doesn't help.

Why?
Your constitution is malleable. Written like this as it was created in a time where the founding fathers could have never seen what today would be like. It was designed to change, you have the amendment system for a reason and have used it several times as is.
Why does this malleable piece of paper hold any real power? It's entirely possible to have things like freedom of speech and the right to silence without referring back to the constitution.
