Another day another mass shooting this time not with
an AR-15
But a semiautomatic pistol that would not easily been seen
At a Columbia Machine plant in Smithsburg, Maryland a coworker shot 4 and then
fled
Responding sheriff’s deputies found 1 wounded and 3 dead
Fortunately the shooter was quickly found and a shootout ensued
A state trooper and the suspect both wounded before the shootout was through
Details are sketchy and not yet released but should add to the ongoing gun
control debate
The Blue House bill bans semiautomatic rifles not pistols and high capacity
magazine of more than 15 shots
Question to ponder will next a ban on semiautomatic pistols by the House soon
be sought
Almost unanimity on the issue of the need to harden schools
A trained officer, a single entrance at minimum should be the rule
In the workplace not sure if there is
the same need to harden accord
Or how many politicians would be on board
But a semi-automatic pistol at close range is just a lethal except for piercing
body armor as an AR-15
Are such handguns owned by law-abiding citizens for protection the next Blue target
to be weaned?
