    The guy went into a temple and shot a bunch of people. Ill pigeon hole him just fine and not feel the least bit guilty about it.

    Yes and we can count on white supremacists to give up their weapons....NOT. If you really want to protect yourself against armed crazies, buy a gun, learn how to use it.

    Those murders would have been greatly reduced if the 'victims' were allowed to carry guns.

    Yep; a law abiding white supremacist who legally bought the guns used in the massacre. If only there were tighter gun control laws in place........

    It looks like Wade Michael Page committed self-coup de' grace ...


    FBI ~ Sikh temple gunman killed himself after being wounded by police

    The gunman who killed six people and wounded four others at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before being shot by an officer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the FBI said Wednesday.


    Wade Michael Page, 40, died at the scene of Sunday’s mass shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek.

    Authorities originally said Page was fatally shot by an officer responding to the scene.
    At a press conference Wednesday, Milwaukee FBI Special Agent in Charge Teresa Carlson said investigators have since determined that Page shot himself in the head after wounding one officer and being shot in the stomach by a second officer

    "The evidence indicates that the second responding officer who shot Page in the stomach, thereby neutralizing the threat -- and by the way, I've seen the video, it is an amazing shot.
    And thank goodness.
    Subsequent to that wound, it appears that Page died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head," Carlson said.


    The video surveillance system inside the temple was not turned on Sunday so there's no recorded view of what happened inside the 16,000-square-foot building, Carlsaon said.

    Page’s ex-girlfriend, Misty Cook, 31, was arrested Sunday night after police found an illegal gun in the home she once shared with Page.

    Carlson said Wednesday neither the gun nor Cook was connected to the shooting at the temple.

    Arizona has very lax laws regarding guns, and no "victim with a gun" came to Giffiords' rescue.

    The only one person who had a gun and could have shot the killer almost ended up killing the person who had taken the gun away from the shooter. What a fine mess that would have been.
