    After living in San Antonio for several years (9), you got kind of used to the sad fact that people are murdered everyday. Sometimes for their shoes for crying out loud!

        Several people have been shot near the Empire State Building in New York City, the authorities have said. Local news media are reporting that the gunshots were heard before 09:00 (13:00 GMT). The Associated Press news agency said the shooter was dead.

        The Torygraph have it as 3, I've seen 4-6 mentioned on Twatter[^].

                Gun possession in New York City is highly restricted. Just goes to reinforce the notion that prohibition doesn't work.

                  Not as restricted as it is in Chicago, the murder capital of the U.S. Hell, the murder capital of the first world.

                          so enforce it better, anytime a disgruntaled ex employee can just turn up and shoot someone then sorry but you have a problem, unless the reports are wrong this was just a peed off counter jocky not a member of the local mafia yet they seem to have easy access to a gun, not a problem with restriction being too high but too low or badly enforced

                            It's the coddled kids becoming adults in age only. They don't know how to act when any adversity comes around, so they overreact and grab a gun because someone disrespected them. A real man brushes himself off, learns from his experience, and moves on with his life. Vince Lombardi said it best: "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up."

                              Totally right. New York and Chicago have shootings and tighter gun control than the rest of the US. This doesn't automatically mean that gun control doesn't work - anybody from outside with access to firearms can tool up and drive right in.

                                    Crime is prevented by law abiding citizens brandishing/using guns FAR more than they are used to perpetuate crimes. Especially where concealed carry is allowed by law.

                                        Several people have been shot near the Empire State Building in New York City, the authorities have said. Local news media are reporting that the gunshots were heard before 09:00 (13:00 GMT). The Associated Press news agency said the shooter was dead.

                                        Three U.S. marines were shot in Mexico today, and the gunfire came from what was described as a Mexican Federal Police vehicle.

                                          But remember its not the fact they have guns are that is only civilised, if they didnt have guns then he would have used a big stick

                                          I read an article today that claimed a woman killed someone with a pot of coffee. Great. Now we're going to have to get background checks to buy a coffee pot, and ammo for it will be even more expensive. Of course, the liberals will push for pots to only be capable of holding two cups of coffee (we don't want any high-capacity pots being available to criminals, and they won't want anyone carrying around a loaded pot of coffee.
