...but imagine if it had been made that much more difficult for the crazed perp to get a gun in the first place.

Active Shooter Reported at Maryland Newspaper
There is an active shooter at the Capital Gazette newspaper building in Annapolis, Maryland, local police and federal officials say.
Anne Arundel County police confirmed there was a shooter in the building, at 888 Bestgate Road. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said on Twitter that the "shooting incident" was at the Capital Gazette.
Gazette staff told The Baltimore Sun — which owns the Gazette — that multiple people were shot, a story on the Sun's website says. Police did not immediately provide information on any injuries.
Officers are searching the building. They could not immediately confirm whether anyone had been arrested.

Update:
So fucking sad. America is fucked with its idiotic gun culture and the NRA should be treated as a criminal organisation.

That is just nuts. It's like people have lost all reason. Confirms my view that Twitter is somewhere to stay away from.

True. It is the proverbial on-going car-crash.
However, it *is* going on. I've never thought burying your head in the sand is wise so I choose to watch what the crazy people do'n'say.
I guess that's why I'm on Urban too
I've often taken that view, but I've begun to rethink it. The problem with crazy is that it spreads. If you spend too much time taking it in, you can get a little unbalanced yourself.
Urban is enough crazy for me.

Yiannopoulos has quickly decided to issue a sincere apology in order to start to heal the divisions.
Don't be silly, of course he hasn't.
ETA: Especially hateful is his comment likening journalists to "vermin".
Never joined twitter though I sometimes read stuff posted on here. Don't think I'm missing much. Usually reminds me of youtube comments.That is just nuts. It's like people have lost all reason. Confirms my view that Twitter is somewhere to stay away from.

The horrifying thing is that they haven't lost all reason. These are acts carried out by stupid people, inspired by clever people who have vast sums at their disposal and sophisticated means with which to do the inspiring.

See I don't want a Fuhrer. Or an untrustworthy looking 'winner' by some perverted standard. There isn't even any quality there. This, this system, and its current farting, bullheaded lack of decency is driving us down. But why? You still have to obey? These are ignorant bastards by any measure (I mean in terms of moral principles, conduct and integrity, but of course it goes beyond that). There isn't even any competence; yet shysters, grifters are fucking everything up. They are gulling people, upsetting them with faulty rhetoric.
Yes, society was fucked up, unfair, corrupt; the answer is not turn on eachother because of what some false friend said. Or to give up and just accept things will get worse, that some will have to be scapegoated. That solidarity and bravery is to be tossed aside. We've no right to countenance such a thing. Our ancestors wouldn't even give us the time of day if we did. Great strides and feats were accomplished on the back of decency, honour. There is no compromise with this movement.
Who do you trust? Autonomous people who fight for their communities and solidarity; or the fucking bitter man-babies who coin it in and stoke enmity? Who stand against every good ideal that has won out for centuries?
Be deceived and taken in by shyster nobodies. Or have some honour.

Several newspapers have identified him as the shooter.

Just one more nut job able to get hold of guns and kill people for whatever pathetic reason, but it's nothing to do with the easy availability of guns, it's mental illness, or the reporters weren't armed, or the beard means he's a Muslim .. or whatever crap excuses the gun lot can come up with.

Do they do this sort of thing in the UK ?

The US is very strange.
They go all out to defeat terrorism that has killed a very small number of their citizens, but totally avoid getting rid of a problem that kills by the tens of thousands and is within their power to sort out.
I'm guessing it's all down to cash.

Not a mass shooting, but involved guns in America. When your told my somebodies Mum in the US they have a gun and will shoot you, its probably best to believe them.
