Unbelievable photo of gunman in Dallas courthouse shooting

Gunman shot dead after opening fire on federal courthouse in downtown Dallas | Crime | Dallas News

Photographer in the right place at the right time, and lucky he wasn't shot. This could have been some serious carnage had it not been for law enforcement on duty at the courthouse.

Well, the police did take one guy's guns away today, after all.

Looking at that picture, man, just chills ya. It's about access to arsenals like that, and it also looks like the guy just walked out of an Urban Warfare video game.

At least this time one of our exalted gun nut patriots missed everyone he aimed at, then was quickly shot dead.

Nice work, Rambo.

I'm looking at an unbelievably good example of American Exceptionalism right there, I tell ya.

Makes perfect sense that just about every adult in America can go out and buy that ship legally. Not a problem.

The guns or the video game? Or both?

Kills me a little bit that the site doesn't let you look at full-screen sized versions of those photos. You have a guy risk his life to get such incredible photos like that and you have to squint to see them. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Weird crime, too. The guy gets all dressed up with body armor and tons of ammo, as if he's in for a long fight, then indiscriminately sprays the front of the building and is dead within a minute or so? Weird.

I'm a weency bit more concerned about the guns than the video games, although I don't let my children play violent ones, because I don't think those things are good for them.

Seems super normal. Glad we can fully arm these guys.

I think the popularity of these particular guns and the fetishization of the military go hand in hand. Though completely unrelated, I always enjoyed the military trainers who go into college football programs and have them carry logs and ship, only for the team to get steamrolled in season opener by Alabama.

Everyone gets steamrolled in 'Bama's opener.
