Who wants to bet an AR or AK gets the blame for the shot?

No bet. Edit to add: Great, he died. The shooter went in, shot him, left the building, threw the gun in the trunk, and took off. This sounds extremely staged to me, at this point. Why would you run in and kill a security guard, then take off? What's the point? |

If this turns out to be an "assault weapon" that's exactly what I think. No kidding. |

I feel sorry for the victim, first and foremost.
And there is NO WAY this will be good for us.... Larry |

Yes I too feel sorry for the victim and his family. But things like this make me madd as hell! I want to write the Gov and express my feelings. But I know that would do about as much good as pissing in the wind! But what will it take for this JERKOFF to realize that gun laws only punish the law abiding gun owner. Damnit! What good is an unarmed security guard? Sure was a good thing that he didn't have an evil gun now is it? Too bad we don't have CCW. This would stop some of this CRAP! Wake up JERKOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're going to put in metal detectors, and give the guards guns.
Get this--the metal detectors wouldn't have changed the outcome, but having armed guards would have. Imagine that! I wonder when the safety and lives of an average citizen will be as important as the life of a government employee in this state. |

I work at a state office in Springfield, we went on immmeditate lockdown. Our guards also do not have guns, heck they do not have mace or even a flashlight! They do have a radio, so I guess they could call for help to each other. It is a farce really.
My wife knew the guard personally, he had two kids in school. She is pretty upset. Jesse White at least had the class to go see his wife. Our Gov. had the decency to fly in to town, a few hours later, to hold a press conference. First time he has been here since the "budget battle" I think. You gotta wonder what this guy was thinking. At least they have caught him. |

Yeah but at a minimal, they could've at least issued body armor. The shooting is inevitable. Any one can just run up and do a random shooting without going through a metal detector. You'd think at a state capital they would have armed guards and not metal detectors. But then again, they've always felt having armed personnel around looked too menacing to the public. The County Board in DuPage is trying to do that to the courthouse. They want to remove the Deputies in the courtrooms and replace them with unarmed Bailiffs. Just my .02.
