Just in time for the beginning of the NRA's annual meeting man opens fire in crowded Texas airport and dies from a, possibly self inflicted, bullet wound.

A man was shot and killed Thursday in a pre-screening area at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, authorities said. 

Houston Police Department spokesman Kese Smith told reporters that the man had just come through the doors in Terminal B when he fired at least one shot into the ceiling. 

A Homeland Security Investigations agent was working in an office near the scene, came out and told the man to drop his weapon. The agent fired once at the suspect, who appeared to try to shoot himself at the same time. 

An autopsy will determine whose bullet killed the man, who has not been identified, police said. 

CNN affiliate KHOU reported the man walked into the terminal with a military-style, semiautomatic rifle and fired two shots into the ceiling.

"Fired two shots into the ceiling."  Isn't that how they say hello in Texas?

This is going to be a really hard one for the Right Wing to take on, because they undoubtedly have a knew jerk desire to claim that the Homeland Security officer was suppressing this gentleman's 2nd Amendment rights, but then HE clearly exercised his by shooting the man to death.

I think in Texas they call this a Constitutionally backed disagreement. "No harm, no foul folks. Just two patriots discussing gun control using their 2nd Amendment rights to explain their point of view."

I am sure that this will be discussed at the NRA meeting and after much conversation (five whole seconds) they will decide that this is a clear indication that there needs to be MORE guns at our international airports.
