"serial sniper"
LorKorub:
Good points made in this thread...
I grew up in Montgomery Gounty, MD, so this thing is hitting me a little closer to the heart. I used to go to that Shell Station everyday for gas and smokes, so it kind of gets you thinking. I have family and freinds in thgat area, and I am greatly concerned.
Regarding The Second Amendment: It was put in place back in the 1700s, not for Americans to be able to arm themselves in fear of a tyrant taking control of the government. That is why we have the electoral college. The 2nd Amendment was passed because back in that period pioneers were starting to move westward toward the plains to settle. It was made so those people would have a right to keep and bear arms for their own protection against Indians and vagabonds that might threaten "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
The argument of gun control is futile. Maryland law regulates the sale and possession of assault weapons (which has been determined that this is what this guy is using...an AR-15, although there are several guns that will fire that caliber ((.223)) bullet.) I now live in Los Angeles, inside a state that has the most strict gun laws in the US. ALL assault weapons are banned in California, even some old WWII and WWI carbines that you wouldn't even consider as assault weapons. Murders still roll on, and assault weapons are still used. Basically, these "gun control" laws control only the law abiding gun owners, such as myself who obey them out of fear of going to jail and getting ass-raped by some hariy lawn-ape. Criminals who get their hands on these guns, and that don't give a fuck about ANY law, let alone gun laws, are the ones causing the problems.
Hopefully, they will catch this jerkoff soon. Like all serial killers, the cops just have to wait for this guy to fuck up. That's how NYPD got the Son of Sam. A friggin parking ticket did that guy in. They got Dahmer because he forgot to re-up on some air-freshener. I know the general terrain in MoCo, MD, and from what I have gathered, this guy is using wooded areas to hide and pick out his targets. If the police would comb the wooded areas that border high-traffic places, such as Rockville, they might be able to catch this guy in the act. Hopefully they will get him soon.

i live in Prince William county Va and there was just a shooting there in 234. a truck driver was shot at. i am not sure if he was hit but they did hit the window. My HS that i was at was right along that road. I am scared shitless. They say it might have just been a hunter b/c there are hunting grounds around there but i am skeptical of that. dont hunting grounds have to be so far away or something. So right now i am hiding in my room not wanting to come out and my mom is goin make me goto skool tommorow it sucks

I just hope they'd be smart enough to wear body armor(particulary head protection) if they searched those woods. Would be pretty easy for the sniper to take several unsuspecting police officers down IF he got the jump.

Regarding the woods. I think they should ban all trees. Cut down all the trees and he'll have no place to hide which will end the killings. Regarding being afraid to go to school, get your own gun and shoot back at the sick SOB. Maybe he'll think twice about doing it again.
Seriously, I would be scared too. But it *is* a good reason to get out of school. I used to have to resort to much weaker excuses to get out of school. I think you just have to put it into perspective though. What is the rate at which the killings are going on? Maybe 1 every two days? How many people live in within the perimeter of the area where the shootings are going on?
Now figure out the odds that it will be you that gets it next. Once you figure that out, figure out the odds of a car veering off the road and running you over because of a mechanical problem or from a police chase. I think you will find the odds to be similar. So really, as scary as this shit is, the odds of you dying from something else are probably much greater and you've grown to live with those odds. Same with this.
You should be concerned, it's a natural reaction. You should also be cognizant (keep your eyes open) in case you do hear a shot you might be able to help the cops find this SOB.

Im not sure if the Second amendment has anything to do with westward expansion considering that most of that took place in the 19th century.
In a book I read once on the issue "To Keep and Bear arms" the auther (whose name I can't remember) speaks of the early settlments and how in order to deffend them, the local govt. would recruit militia from amongst the populace.
When the constitution was drafterd, this idea of individual comunities being able to defend themselves was naturaly adopted into the document.
When I said to fight of tyrany, was not necissarly a tyrant, or outside force but rather our own govt. The US govt. is based on the concept of revolution, and the peoples right to revolt. In a way, that's what we do every four years when an election comes up.
So, if ever there is a point where our govt. get's a bit to big for it's britches, the people wouldendt have to put up with it.
