No, they did not find the shooter thanks to smoke alarms. The alarms *did* help confirm the location, as did the actual smoke coming from the room.

It’s the NRA’s version of “But her emails....”

And of course, since there’s no other nutcases out there, there’s no reason to try to prevent future shootings.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think making suppressors more readily available is going to do a damn thing to fix terminal stupidity.

Silencers are already heavily restricted; the NRA-owned Congress is suggesting removing those restrictions under the pretense that it’s necessary to protect the poor little shooter’s hearing. They’re also intent on removing restrictions against cop-killer…

It hasn’t stopped a depressing number of nimrods from suggesting that if just someone in the crowd had had a gun, they could have returned fire and saved the day.

Give ‘em time. They’re just working up to it.

I’m guessing it depends at least in part on the cost of the item, as well as having some items pegged as frequently abused. That, and they have a gremlin that knows how easily you could live without whatever the item is, because I swear, the less I actually need something, the more likely they are to say “Just keep…

Hell, never mind skyrim. Have you never watched a cop show?

Do you suppose that the court of public opinion is handing out actual sentences now?
