I doubt she was just "motioning to pass" While there are crazy people out there, it usually takes a little more to rile up someone to the point to shoot someone. I still hope the driver makes it. I'm sure there is a little more to this story. I see people everyday driving recklessly and not give a crap about anyone else, but there are some crazies out there that will change that quick. There is a time and place to have fun in fast cars. Drive safe, be courteous, live longer.

This occurred about a mile from my office -- on the outskirts of Atlanta. While it's not the greatest part of the city, there's no excuse. I can't fathom the thought of potentially killing somebody & going to jail over something as ridicules as "road rage". As far as I know, they have not located the individual who fired the gun.

Today's roads are filled with self-centered a**holes. Their life philosophy is "it's all about me" and that manifests itself in spades when they get behind the wheel. 
Prayers for a speedy recovery for our fellow Corvette sister and a special prayer that karma pays the perp a visit real soon.

This story is absolutely ridiculous. Too many people in this country have guns that have zero responsibility and don't deserve to have them.
Really? You're suggesting BMW drivers are the type to randomly shoot someone asking them to go around? Please.

I agree. Something has changed in this country. A college kid gets punched in the face and he shoots 4 other kids and people shooting at other drivers for no reason. Makes no sense.

I got the humor in that. I believe he was referring to the fact that whenever there is a crime/incident, it's either a "blue sedan" or "bmw owner" Just the stigma we get. lol

Another POS behind the wheel of a vehicle - this time in a Mustang. Hope the lady makes a quick recovery and the shooter gets caught soon.

There should be reasonable gun control right? Maybe a new requirement that all gun owners should pass a government control board that judges who can or cannot have them?
Our Government is broken, prisoners being dumped onto the streets, illegals given a free "No jail card" , more drugs, bigger cartels, race baiters told to run rampant free will and steal.... and you want to bitch about guns?

Of course it won't happen, but things will only get worse. More and more idiots with guns. There is no solution.

I agree with that statement....mainly criminals have no responsibility.

That argument is false....everyone of them is a criminal after the fact. What you lament and thrash your teeth over is why isn't there a way to read people's minds before they decide to commit crime. Just removing one tool doesn't and never will prevent them from using another. In the mean time your thinking just makes more unarmed victims.

My thinking? I have been a gun owner since 1969. Long before all the nut jobs started owning guns. I am not against gun ownership for responsible adults.
