2 dead, 7 injured in Miami, 2 on the loose.

Likely gang related, but you know will be added in the agenda. These two creatures currently on the loose in Miami. I have my doubts these were full auto weapons used, but that's what's being reported:

"Two gunmen sprayed a Liberty City apartment complex with dozens of rounds of gunfire from automatic weapons early Tuesday morning, killing two people and seriously injuring seven others, in one of the worst mass shootings in Miami in decades.

Kevin Richardson, 30, was killed, his family said. The other victim, according to media reports, was Nakiel Jackson, 26. A 17-year-old girl is in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and the names of the other victims at the same hospital were still unknown late into the morning.

Though details remained sketchy, police believe two men pulled up to an apartment complex at Northwest 12th Avenue, between 65th and 66th Streets at 2:30 a.m., got out of a dark SUV with two high-powered weapons, fired into a crowd of dozens milling about outside, then fled.

The gunmen have not been found. The gunfire came from an AK-47 and an AR-15 assault rifle. Police also believe the intended target wasn't at the scene.

"The motive at this point is still unknown. We're still investigating," said Miami police spokeswoman Frederica Burden."

I don't understand how this makes national news. I mean, in my little burgh of Durham, NC this is a relatively common occurance.

It fits the agenda of "assault" rifles and "random" shootings. Not random, but that wont matter.

You'd have to be on drugs to label these two scum as "law abiding gun owners." This is just a prime example of how criminals DONT follow laws.

sounds like ten minutes ago in Chicago or Detroit.

A full auto AR15 and an AK47? Wanna bet it was a couple High Points? I can't wait to hear the coroner's and ballistics' reports.

This definitely sounds like a gang shooting. Either an initiation or an intimidation play.

Wont be used as proof law abiding gun owners being the issue, but why there needs to be more laws banning evil "assault" rifles and such.

Gun show loophole, straw sales, etc. Then there's also the flat out lies: Anyone can legally buy a fully automatic rifle for about $100 at any given gun shop and not even have to show so much as a library card for ID, gun shops are always supplying the black market with the "good stuff" they keep in the back room.

Damn it I need to find one of those stores...

Exactly.

These guys clearly had no problems with murder, felony assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, etc. All of which are against the law.

But somehow a ban on a scary black shoulder thing that goes up all scary or a mag cap limit is supposed to stop or curtail or inhibit guys like this.

Makes me all warm and fuzzy at the level of ignorance displayed in our world.....

We all know being able to keep and bear arms is the cause of the criminal gun violence.
