I'm OK with them using the shooting in Annapolis as they were targeted specifically because of their profession, and your gun laws make it possible for anyone with a grudge and a few bucks to go blasty-shooty on anyone else they have a problem with. The two guys killed by a falling tree while covering a storm though? C'mon.
True on the first point, but you know this is going to be presented as though they were attacked out of a political agenda and not a personal grudge.
I'm getting intimately acquainted with NY gun laws as I start the process of getting strapped. It's going to take half a year.
