“A gunman who opened fire at a New Jersey mall Monday night later holed up in a back room and shot himself in the head,” CNN reports. “No one else was injured in the mall shooting . . . ‘We know that his intent was either suicide or to do something that would cause police to shoot him, which we call ‘suicide by cop,’ Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli told CNN’s New Day . . . Richard Shoop, 20, was known by local law enforcement. He had a history of drug use and abuse, Molinelli said. ‘He at least thought that he was reaching a point where there was no recourse but to take his own life.'” Details on how Shoop got his gun in gun-control-mad NJ to follow . . .
I live in NOVA and will vote for Ken shortly. One thing that gives me hope about this race is the number of candidate’s Facebook supporters. Sarvis has 10K, Terry has 51K and Ken as over 162K supporters. I think that is a good sign of voter enthusiasm and we may see a upset with Ken winning today, or I at least hope so 🙂
Hmm… drug abuse and criminal history, sounds like the perfect media proclaimed “Tea Party member”, until of course they find out he was an Obama supporter, then he was just misunderstood and needed help.
Why, oh why, are you giving this shitbag publicity by posting his likeness on TTAG?
Don’t give these defectives an ounce of publicity for their massacres!
John
To be fair I think that argument applies more to the mainstream media than a blog. No one here is going to be influenced to shoot up a public place to get their 15 minutes of fame or break a high score.
Nah, never “suicide by cop.” Just like people who commit suicide by being thrown out of a building or who stab themselves in the back while shaving.
Move along, nothing to see here.

Since these overpaid thugs will be the ones trying to take our firearms, yes, print it all. The more people who have their eyes opened to just how corrupt and thuggish the average cop is, the better. The number of good cops can be counted on one hand. If they protect their “bad” brothers, then the “good” cops are not good, they are just as corrupt as all the rest.
The gentleman above me is a prime example of why I don’t think these posts would go anywhere productive.
Imagine that, a prohibited person getting access to a gun! I thought background checks and strict laws like the kind they have in New Jersey was supposed to prevent these sort of things from happening?
This is why I’ll home school my children. Schools are nothing but murderer friendly zones…no defense for children. My home, there would be defense.
Good. I’m glad he’s dead. I was just settling in to watch Castle and The Walking Dead last night when the first email came in about this stupid sonofabitch. Twenty minutes after my “this will be the last update” update, I was asleep. Never did get to see zombie brains fly. Asshole.
Sorry Matt, TWD was not be missed!
Well, at least he took out some surveillance cameras. That should pucker up DHS and NSA.
***Sarcasm Warning***
This guy supposedly worked at a pizza place in the mall.
Makes you think twice about ordering food from these places, doesn’t it?
All the stay at homes and 3rd party “10%’ voters in VA have the chance to undo the good results of the colorado recall elections. Letting gun grabbing dems take the top slots in VA will encourage the antis at a national level. Why do you think kapo bloomberg spent so lavishly?
If a federal senator or rep can’t complete his term who appoints a successor from VA? The governor?
Nah, your occasional idiot gun owner of the day featuring morons in uniform who shoot deadly chihuahuas and leave loaded AR-15s unsecured on their motorcycles is enough.
But, as RF has stated, he should be allowed to have his guns including fully automatics even though he had a prior history with police and drug problems. As long as his 2A is protected without any sort of check…it is okay.
Wait, was the chick in the video Kirsten Weiss?
It would probably bother me more if, you know, I didn’t own guns.
In the immortal words of Francis X. Hummel in The Rock: “You call it what you want. You’re down there, we’re up here. You walked into the wrong -Goddamn-room!”
I wonder who she’s going to call when a pissed off 250lb rapist busts down her door? Surely not men with guns?
“but tomorrow it may be your town, your mall, your school, your college campus.”
Precisely why I have a gun…..thank you MDA, for making my argument for me.
But don’t you understand Mighty Mo? If we could just expand “gun-free zones” to the entire United States you would be safe wherever you went and you wouldn’t need to carry a firearm.
Of course a giant “gun-free zone” does not address situations where violent criminals have alternate weapons or an extreme physical advantage (like a 250 pound rapist attacking a 120 pound woman or an elderly person). I suppose a giant “gun-free zone” does not address the fact that criminals would never turn in their guns, either. But that is not important because, guns.
I’m so freaking tired of PPL sticking their corporate logos in their head shots, their only motivation is Money, either by forcing a viewer to see their ‘Guerilla Advertising” or Low Drag, blah blah accouterments, they hope to push a product, in this case themselves.
I know it’s called a ‘environmental headshot’ and they have been around for decades but can’t someone grow a sense of aesthetics and just turn that switch off?
I don’t care what you think, ICON makes damn good riding gear. I’ve been wearing their helmets for years. I bet my life on it every time I go out on the road.
Another mass shooting….. in another GUN FREE ZONE!!
Get a clue, Ms. Watts!!
Robert, MA has some extreme storage laws as well: https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXX/Chapter140/Section131L
Section 131L. (a) It shall be unlawful to store or keep any firearm, rifle or shotgun including, but not limited to, large capacity weapons, or machine gun in any place unless such weapon is secured in a locked container or equipped with a tamper-resistant mechanical lock or other safety device, properly engaged so as to render such weapon inoperable by any person other than the owner or other lawfully authorized user. For purposes of this section, such weapon shall not be deemed stored or kept if carried by or under the control of the owner or other lawfully authorized user.
See link for the rest of the law, which includes some severe penalties.
