Quoted: Four cops shot in Detroit precinct, gunman killed According to Sgt. Todd Eby, the gunman walked in at about 4:20 p.m. with a pistol grip shotgun New item for the ban list? Probably, it won't matter that, with a simple hacksaw, a harmless fudd shotgun can be converted in minutes to a pistol-gripped shotgun. It's sad, but my first thought when seeing this thread title was: "I hope it's not 'high-capacity' magazines." |

The wild west is 10 miles from my front porch.... ...Sunday's shooting capped off a bloody weekend that saw at least 10 people shot since Friday night - four at the precinct, three outside a strip club, and three murder victims found ina housein the 14000 block ofFaircrest.

http://www.detnews.com/article/20110123/METRO/101230331/Four-Detroit-police-officers-shot-inside-precinct Let's see. Gunman walks into a place where people are armed. His shooting spree is cut short by return fire. But, had this been anywhere else, we'd be informed that we have to disarm to victimize ourselves to keep this from happening. Yet, this is proof positive that being armed will stop these idiots in their tracks. I suggest that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Disarm the police so they won't be the victims of these horrible shooting sprees. |

Pistol grip shotgun ban.
Nobody needs one. Cop killer! Could be fitted with high capacity clips or God forbid magazines!!! |

Detroit is about as bad as you can get in the United States of America.
It's a war zone. |

New item for the ban list? maybe thats what the BATFE will be announcing on monday. |

At this point the best possible outcome would be that the shooter used a Saiga 12 since the ATFE is stopping their importation anyway.

Sort of puts the utility of a PGS in perspective that he managed to only wound four officers while succeeding to get himself killed. Just heard that one of the officers is in critical condition.
DAMN!! It is a world gone mad! |

New item for the ban list? I bet some news reporter will say the phrase "Assault shotgun" before this is over. About 15 years ago there was a high profile shooting in the news in which the assailant used a Walther PPK .380 pistol. On the CBS Evening News, Dan Rather referred to it as "an Attack Pistol." I'm not kidding. This was after the AWB had been passed, and I think CBS was hoping for a ban on "attack pistols" next. |

DAMN!! It is a world gone mad! Curtail anti-depressant use severely, shooters in these type of incidents usually have a long history with them. Both of the Columbine shooters had been prescribed heavy doses of SSRIs. SSRI drugs factor into several other cases like this too. It is well known that these drugs can cause psychotic episodes in a small (but significant) percentage of users. |

You'd think a Police Station in Detroit would have better security, like hescos and concertina wire. I pray for a speedy recovery for the victims.

Coincidentally, I watching Robocop as we speak.
Lets get some ED 209's rolling into Detroit! Delta City would be awesome. |

And another shooting at a Washington Wal Mart, 2 SO deputies injured. Port Orchard area.
|

How the fuck? Cleveland Police Dept is like a fortress. How do you just walk in, and shoot a Commander?
Put this with the cops shot in Cleveland, Boston, and Miami last week, and the Giffords incident....

This sucks. Expect copycats. This is not going to help police citizen interaction.
RIP cops trying to serve and protect |

This sucks. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, though. For all the "Detroit is a war zone" stuff, there are relatively few cop casualties. The violence is seemingly largely criminal-on-criminal, or at least criminal-on-innocent.

New item for the ban list? I bet some news reporter will say the phrase "Assault shotgun" before this is over. So, will it end up being a cut-down-and-not-registered old Model 12 or something, or a new Mossberg "JIC"? Anything under 30" OAL in MI is a pistol and needs to be registered, but a lot of JICs are purchased anyway. Of course, it's easy to put a $5 pistol grip on a 18" shotgun. |

Lucky there were armed people in the police station,otherwise there would have been a lot more dead people.

DAMN!! It is a world gone mad! Curtail anti-depressant use severely, shooters in these type of incidents usually have a long history with them. Ummm.... no. People are on anti-depressants because they already have a mood disorder of some type. And if you want us to go back to the tricyclics, my answer is a hearty "F*ck you." An overdose of an SSRI is one of the more benign overdoses you can have... you can practically fill up your stomach all the way to the top of your esophagus with Zoloft pills and be fine. Try that with tricyclics, and you're as dead as last week's roses. It always struck me, back when prescribing in the tricyclic era, that you'd have a depressed/suicidal patient in your office, and send them to the pharmacy to get a bottle full of medicine that could easily kill them if they took the whole thing. Seemed kind of perverse to me. ETA: sorry for the threadjack. Hope the officers recover. |

Hope my cousin is ok, he works on the Detroit PD for experience. He said he could write a book that boggle one's mind. Like having to keep shotguns in the trunk and unloaded.

tag for details of shooter.
has the lamestream media tried calling this guy a tea party supporter yet ? $100 bucks says he had previous run ins with the law, is a democrat and on medications. |

Detroit is one IED blast away from being Mexico. and thus should be fenced the fuck off so the fuckstains can all just slaughter each other! we also need to take this same approach with a few other cities, DC, Baltimore, Oakland, LA, Charlotte, and a few others. |

Want to hear something really messed up, I live about 20minutes from downtown Detroit. I was at work all day with the game on and just got home, I never heard a news broadcast about this.
Just now is the first time I have heard anything about this. You'd think it would make the news, Guess its normal EDIT: And I hear about it from a person in Brasil |
