“At this point in our investigation, this incident does not appear to be a murder-suicide and both deaths are being investigated as homicides,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said in a statement on social media Friday evening. [More]
I thought a suicide was a homicide…
In any case, someone’s gonna get it for a weapons policy violation.

So was this also a hate crime?
And I’m sorry, but wasn’t everyone involved a little old for dorms…?

We’re taking an ostrich approach to enforcing gun laws — with deadly results [More]
Not that these head-in-the-sand eggheads have any “answers” besides disarming you and me without due full process.
The reason I decided to give this one a link is not for the article itself, but for some of the comments, just to show the mentality this appeals to. The fanatic in point goes by “AE,” who at least put the lie to the “No one wants to take your guns” excuse:
If it weren’t for the legal gun owners in this country there wouldn’t be a gun violence problem…
Here’s what happens if you disagree:
I’ll go slow. If it weren’t for all the fearful and compensating man boys fighting for unrestricted purchase and use of firearms, there wouldn’t be any firearms in today’s society. Thus, no illegal gun problem…
There is absolutely no point in “debating” with such as these, or in establishing “common ground” dialog, as some ostensibly on “our side” are doing.

What We Do and Don’t Know about the Colorado Springs Maniac
What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]
We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?
By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.
We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.
Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.
At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.
UPDATES
The gunman who allegedly killed five people at a Colorado LGBTQ club is reportedly the grandson of a Republican California lawmaker who compared the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol to the Revolutionary War. [More]
Hoo-boy, here we go. Funny, that much they can find out.
