Another shooting.

[Wolf Hunting]

Three people have been killed and five others injured in a mass shooting in Kansas City, Missouri.

Witnesses say it all started with a fight at the bar earlier in the evening, which ended with the bar throwing one of the suspects out. Police say he and another man came back at around 1:30 a.m. armed with handguns.
Witnesses told police the men came in through the back door of the bar and began shooting. When officers arrived, four men inside the bar were dead. Their names have not been released, but they range in age from their 20s to 50s. Five others outside the bar were hurt, and they were taken to a local hospital.

How the hell are people allowed to board a plane with a gun in this day and age

Russia has being accused of trying to destabilise Moldova for a while, doesn’t help matters having an enclave on your border that is only recognised as a country by Russia, uses roubles, speaks Russian.
26 hours I sat at the Ukraine/transnistra border post while the transnistrans decided whether they’d let me cycle through there to moldova.

3D printed maybe? Although I don't know how you'd get the ammo through.

He may not have boarded with a gun, could have got off the plane, gone to the interview room, then surprised the security guard who’s armed?

That's mental!

Transnistra is fascinatingly weird.

I know, I’ve spent a couple of days there and cycled through it.
I had to sit at the border post compound, they took my passport away from me, so I couldn’t go back into Ukraine, had to unpack all my panniers, lay everything out on the floor while armed guards stood around pointing AKs at me, let me repack after 5 hours of it being spread out, they finally let me go about 3am

It just sounds like they were fucking with you for the sake of it!

You're one of those guys that things just happen to aren't you!

Yea obviously, they’re border guards with guns, I’m a foreigner on a bike, they can do what they like

Stuffs gonna happen to you, if you cycle across/through 13 countries on a bike ride, nothing happens if you sit on the settee

I just chilled out, got a brew on the go, topped up my tan, no point getting stressy, although I did get stressy when I was robbed at gunpoint in Ukraine! But there’s always one person who spoils it for everyone else isn’t there? Worst thing was I could see it was going to happen, brain was going ‘ dudes up to something, back off, ignore him, oh oh he’s got a gun, what’s he doing? Fuck hes going to shoot you, oh wait it’s fine, he’s just robbing you, it’s good’ as you do

Was in this situation (more than a decade ago now, jeez), and I think the quickness with which it happened stopped me really panicking hard. It was more like "welp, if this is how it ends, no getting out of it now". Ended up being mad that I only had $5 on me but in hindsight the guy was never in it to hurt me, just scare me.

Being greeted with multiple Kalash's for multiple hours, though? Boy would I be scarred.

A heavily armed gunman opened fire in Southwest Philly on Monday night, killed 4 injured 2 (a 2 year old and a 13 year old kid).
They have the fucker in custody.
One of the men being fired at picked up a 2nd gun that the 1st guy brought with him and started firing back in the direction of the gunman.
Bad luck for him that 2 cops were walking nearby and ran to the scene and arrested him. Around 50 shots were fired.
