Over 20 killed, 20 or so more injured and transferred to local hospitals.

There was a chase between the shooter and law enforcement. The shooter is dead but it has not been released how he died.

Those are basically all the facts right now.

There was another one I think about a month ago in Tennesee IIRC. Just beaking so not many details yet.

Are you a Russian? Why RT? Why link the Kremlin's propaganda outlet?

Awful news about the shooting. We need gun control.

Aren't churches a gun free zone?


Nope a church can choose whether to allow it or not. Thanks for playing.

Do you know if this specific church allowed guns or not?

In Texas? it's a shock the church does not worship guns.

I read in a comments section that the shooters name is Chris Ward, and it started over a domestic dispute. Apparently he killed his family at home, and then went to the church and started shooting.

Not sure on how factual the info is, so don't quote me.

When I hear a story like this, my first thought is "crazy person". Obviously a male (due to male aggression) and probably of European descent (there's simply more of them in the US). Pissed off about something and decided he was gonna take it out on a large crowed of people.

My assumptions usually end there.

This is depressing.

After the Vegas shooting I made a poll here asking if there would be another mass shooting with over 20 deaths in 2018. Something like 95% said yes.

Turns out there was going to be one in the following month. It just feels like a depressing inevitability at this point.

There are numerous examples of that actually happening, even on video. And it might be the case that someone with a gun stopped this shooter from killing everyone in the building.

The strongest case anyone has ever presented on here about the existence of GGWGs was Mal-Fet posting an article that showed a whopping 20 GGWGs over a 10 year period. If you have anything that shows that they're more substantial than that then I'd love to see it.

I even straight up admitted that I wasn't sure if it was true, and said not to quote me lol.

What happens? I get quoted several times.

I went against my better judgment (figured I'd get some shit for it) and shared the info in hopes of other people on here who have better access to research. I'm at work, and don't have full internet capacity.

Basically, I shared the info in order for others to be able to confirm it. I suppose I should have just said that upfront. My bad.

well first of all...licensing and permits required for every state.
set a qualification. Probably including psyche tests and safety procedures and what not.

i have a glock handed down to me by a family member who was a cop
i don't need a permit for it. It doesn't need to be registered.

Yeah and they are the minority. Most liberals are just in favor of tighter regulations. And to crack down on illegal fire arms.

I hate the NRA but more for the control they have over the republican party, their smear tactics and their efforts at keeping smart guns from being sold and developed in America. The NRA use to be about gun safety first and foremost and now that is just one part of what they do.
