Tie this together with the FEDEX shooting — the building featured a prominent placard showing that firearms were not permitted on the premises, something the shooter either inadvertently overlooked or, to the more cynical, used to his advantage — and what you have is yet further evidence that the anti-gun crusade, much like the left’s environmental crusade, is meant to garner power and has nothing much to do with safety at all.
