Yes...this story was brought to my attention by Missourian...thanks. So I am posting it to point out again that criminals get guns easily, and that gun control keeps guns out of the hands of normal gun owners...the people who don't use guns to commit crimes......
Gun control does nothing to stop actual criminals..
And another example here......European criminals prefer fully automatic weapons....
Disguised attackers kill 1, injure 2 at Dublin hotel - CNN.com
(CNN)Gunmen, including two disguised as police and another one as a woman, burst into a Dublin hotel on Friday and opened fire during a weigh-in for a boxing match, killing one person, Irish police said.
In a statement, police said authorities were investigating a shooting that occurred at about 2:30 p.m. "at the Regency Hotel, Swords Road, Dublin 9." Authorities said they believe shots were fired inside and outside the weigh-in room, but investigations are continuing.
The BBC showed video, taken by a spectator, of a boxer and others scrambling for safety.
Organizers of Saturday's "Clash of the Clans" at the National Stadium subsequently canceled the boxing event.
The shooting was not an act of terrorism, a police representative told CNN. Investigators are looking into whether it is gang-related.
When emergency workers arrived, they found three injured men. One of the men, described as being in his 30s, was pronounced dead.
Two of the attackers wore helmets and SWAT-style uniforms, police said. They had automatic weapons.
Two others had handguns. One was disguised as a woman with an auburn wig. The second was described as stocky and wearing a beige cap.
