If those police officers who confronted Poplawski had been allowed to carry guns none of this would have happened.

AP:

Police Chief Nate Harper said the motive for the shooting isn't clear, but friends said the gunman recently had been upset about losing his job and feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns.

Richard Poplawski, 23, met officers at the doorway and shot two of them in the head immediately, Harper said. An officer who tried to help the two also was killed.

[...]

Poplawski had feared "the Obama gun ban that's on the way" and "didn't like our rights being infringed upon," said Edward Perkovic, his best friend.

[...]

Another longtime friend, Aaron Vire, said Poplawski feared that President Barack Obama was going to take away his rights, though he said he "wasn't violently against Obama."

Vire, 23, said Poplawski once had an Internet talk show but that it wasn't successful. He said Poplawski owned an AK-47 rifle and several powerful handguns, including a .357 Magnum.

[...]

Poplawski had been laid off from his job at a glass factory earlier this year, said another friend, Joe DiMarco. DiMarco said he didn't know the name of the company, but knew his friend had been upset about it.

Queen winks at President Obama in elevator!

Queen tells dirty joke about clootie dumplings and old man from Nantucket. President Obama laughs and says "good one shorty!" and slaps Queen on ass. Queen responds: "watch it buster, you can call me Liz... just don't call me late for tea". Everyone all around has a jolly good belly-yuck. Michelle Obama arm wrestles Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh in best of 3 bout defeating him 2-0 and wins I-Pod and British Antarctic Territory for America! (We are number 1! We are number 1!)

Righto then. Stay tuned for more breaking outrage.
