Upset with the HOA apparently, the man went ape. This does not help our 2A. Individuals who do wrong, tend to cast their shadow on many others. Look for calls to pass new laws. https://www.fox5dc.com/live-blog/news/logan-circle-active-shooting-residents-told-shelter-place

I'm angry, but my anger is with the HOA more than the shooter. According to the article, this was an ongoing issue from work authorized by the HOA and they had some input to the situation.

Hi,
Yes, tragic. I'm trying not to speculate but you wonder if the shooter (a physician?) could legally own a gun, was legally carrying, or if any laws on the books could've stopped this. But, you know, laws don't stop criminals or unstable people with criminal intent. The gun-grabbers will have a field day.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

I don’t agree with any HOA and definitely would not buy any house that has a HOA, don’t like being told what you can or cannot do with your own house or property…….

I'm with you. Unfortunately, we ended up moving into a home which has a HOA because the inventory here is very small, and this was the only place we both really liked. On the bright side, the dues are very minimal which covers snow plowing the roads more than anything, and the CC&Rs are basic and common sense. Besides, no one really pays any attention to them anyway.
Mass shooting or not , the anti-gunners are already primed to enact all kinds of gun law bans. None of which will stop a single lunatic that decides to shoot up a place.
connections to local pd? no idea actually.
) They learned the hard way that I'm not to be toyed with. I'll never buy another HOA home.

Laws do nothing but provide a punishment and sentence structure.

As did we all but the week before the election, there were several shootings that made the news. Now this.

What happens when you corner a wild animal? Unfortunately a lot of people feel cornered these days. Add copious amounts of stress and sleepless nights filled with worry to the equation and those people begin to react animalistically. Sad to say but I think the covid era pushed a lot of people into a really deep hole financially and emotionally. We're now witnessing what I believe to be the breaking point for a lot of otherwise good people.
They do much more than that. They provide protection and walls for the well connected and rich, roping off life from the "little people". They contain the common people. How often do they, get fined or go to prison for what the rest of us would in a second? Law are written by the rich and powerful for the rich and powerful. See George Carlin for more details.
Sounds like a sniveling, greedy, wingnut to me before he decided to shoot people.

i dunno...if i were to have in an OA, i too would be ticked off, if i had to leave for a while, and still pay that mortgage or rent, on top of the new place to live.
i think someday i or the wife will be living with one of our 5 kids, but eventually, that could end as well.
i doubt i'll still have any weapons by then, but i could see someone going batcrap crazy too.
