This is going to be like waiting for a blockbuster movie to premier. I'm sure Gura will not disappoint us.
I've been listening to WCBM since noon, and they have neglected to mention it as well.At about 4:33 pm today, our beloved WJZ TV reported the story, but made NO mention of ANY names (a story without names). How convenient!
This just goes to show that our gun laws need to change, someone this dangerous should have never had access to a gun. We need more restrictive common sense laws that require anyone interested in buying a gun to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, 40 hours of classroom training, 500 rounds of live fire training and sign an affidavit that they will never use their gun against a human or puppies or kittens. They should require all guns be held at local police stations and can only sign them out during hunting season. Also keep strict records of ammunition used and must be bought from local police stations only with a $50 per booollet tax.
Just got another message from Delegate Smigiel; he's forwarding this to Alan Gura from SAF.
I don’t see how this couldn’t help the court case. He was denied a carry permit because this man was deemed to be no longer dangerous and then he turned out to be a suicidal maniac. The fact that the danger is now removed because the man is dead doesn’t take anything away from the fact that his rights were infringed upon months before this event occurred. This is just more reason on why the G&S is a terrible idea. The whole point of a carry permit is to be prepared before bad things happen, not after.
I don't think this will have any bearing on the Court case whatsoever. I'll admit that I have not been following Woollard very closely. However, this almost seems like it would create an out for the Court because the issue is now moot without any threat to Woollard anymore if the Court was going to try and lay some rules in place for what is and is not G&S.
Now, if the Court wants to decide the issue of whether Shall Issue or G&S is the law of the land, then they would still take the case and find a reason to take it.
We shall see what happens. I'd be torn about CCW if Shall Issue becomes the law of the land. I'm not even going to try to screw around with G&S and all the limitations and worries that are included with it.
