It's NFL/CTE related, it seems.

M4 assault rifle being reported

He strutted confidently down the street with the gun in full view. And people just acted like there was nothing to see there. What’s wrong with New Yorkers?

Culture not just in NYC is to: mind your own business. Maybe that should change, just maybe.

I would have thought it was a costume. It was not too far off from the theater district.

The actual assault style long rifle? Maybe if one didn't know what a rifle looked like??

Pray tell, what is an “assault style” rifle? A rifle is a rifle. What makes one “assault style?” Be specific.

An assault rifle or assault style rifle or whatever - a rifle, any rifle, period - is only good for slaughtering mass numbers of people as quickly as possible, with a hail of indiscriminate bullets. They don’t even need to be aimed carefully because they can put out up to 900 bullets per minute. In the 3-5 minutes duration of the average mass shooting, that means possibly 2,700-4,500 bullets could be fired.


They are killing machines. Only the police should have them.

Whew. My AR-15 doesn't have select fire so it's not an assault rifle.

The killer was 27 years old and had played youth football at least through high school. Not sure whether he played beyond that. He has experienced significant mental health issues since at least 2022. He claimed he had CTE, which cannot be definitively diagnosed in a living person. He was angry because he believes the NFL downplays the risks of CTE in the name of profits. He went to NFL headquarters to commit high profile murders, seeking attention. He took the wrong elevator, couldn’t reach the right floor(s), and ended up shooting 5 people who had no connection to the NFL except being in the same building as NFL HQ. Four of those people are dead. He then took his own life. He had a note asking that his brain be studied (because he believed he had CTE).

If it turns out that he was just an ordinary mentally ill guy who didn’t have CTE, then he will have accomplished nothing except shooting 5 random people, killing 4, traumatizing numerous others, and committing suicide. His actions will have no meaningful impact on the discussion of CTE or related NFL policies. He will be dismissed as just another nut with a gun.

This is a terrible tragedy regardless of whether he actually had CTE, but my God, if he didn’t even have it…

Note states CTE. I guess that’s why he shot himself in the chest. How’s that possible with a long gun? No mention of a second gun.

Off duty police officer killed outside street entrance. He was working a security side gig because his wife is pregnant with 3rd child

One Blackstone employee killed.

Authorities have not released the names of the two others killed.

NFL employee shot but stable.

One in critical condition.

Maybe they thought he was ICE.

Yep.

Good advice. Alas. Falls on deaf Americans.

The psychiatrist who gave him the drug supply needs to explain how violent behavior is a huge risk of these meds.

Public safety is at risk here. Every mass murderer is using prescribed drugs.

What do you think “he had mental health problems” means?

New York has no law restricting the open carrying of long guns in public.

https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/open-carry-in-new-york/

You can’t carry a long gun and ammunition (even if the gun is unloaded), but you can carry a long gun openly.

It’s a no gun zone in that area. Maybe if he was white, he wouldn’t have privilege to go unreported.

Dude, there are literally. hundreds of millions of guns in the country. If you think licensing is the main hurdle, you're nuts.

Was saying mind altering prescription drugs are definitely part of the problem.

Show me a mass killer not on drugs.

Do you think they’ll examine his brain?

Did he play in college but not get recruited?

I haven’t seen anything yet about college, or how he afforded that black BMW.

Why does it matter how he afforded the car? You can have/afford a bmw and not play in the NFL

Check your comprehension.
Question is: was he employed, or not?

It said he drove from NV to NY but didn't say in what kind of a car. or did it? He could have "borrowed" the car when he got to NY?

The car was registered in his name.

Ok so he had a BMW, many do. Why why kill others?

Because he is a coward and wanted attention. Killing just himself would not have gotten the attention he sought.
He’s a worthless human being and it benefits society for him to be gone. It’s just tragic that he took innocent souls with him. May he rot in hell.

They are killing machines. Only the police should have them.

So what mass numbers of people are the police supposed to be killing as quickly and indiscriminately as possible? Is this what police are supposed to be doing? Killing indiscriminately?


I seriously don’t understand maga “logic” like this. Then again I’m generally anti-police as it is. Can you explain why police would be expected to kill mass number of people?
