BREAKING: Multiple victims after mass shooting at Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia - WAVY

We STILLLLLLLLLL Need more guns to combat this! Keep funding the NRA and all those politicians we're NOT quite there yet.

It's almost Thanskgiving in America. Put the gun down for a few more days. Also these kinda topics to post are just so beyond tragic.

Where was the good guy with a gun?

And yet nothing will change for the better

Apparently a manager shot and killed a bunch of employees.

Shooter is dead

He/she should have never, ever been allowed to get his hands on a gun.

Don't they sell them right there?

What do you think Walmart is gonna say tomorrow morning?

"We cannot comment on the incident at this time but our thoughts and prayers are with all that have lost their lives tonight"

What a slap in the fuckin face after all these years. It's become a PR press release that gets copy and pasted.

Wonder if it was one of the guns sold by Walmart.

Yes, he likely had full access with keys if he was the manager.

This is an interesting read.....

Yeah according to a video posted by an employee on Facebook/Twitter. Apparently walked into the break room and did it. Take it with a grain of salt until full details are released. Not going to post the video because not sure if there is anything in it that would get me modded.

Dear God help us all. America is broken.

A survivor said it was the manager who shot the employees.

America is so rotten at it's core.

CNN is JUST reporting it now as breaking news.

Where have you and God been? It's been that way for quite some time. Just now you can't work at Walmart without shittin your pants in fear over what could happen at any moment?

I remember when it used to be a big thing for firefighters and police officers to make a damn point to tell their loved ones they love em before every shift.... now it's damn near any job.

And guns will still be as easy as ever to get a hold of

...RIP to any of those who might have been killed (except for the shooter)

a reminder that guns are the problem

You think Chesapeake is more special than .....

*lists every other shooting in this country*?

Nooo sir it's time for thoughts and prayers. Maybe we got it backwards. What if we thought and prayered BEFORE every shooting. We'd never get anything done with the sheer amount.

I fully expect the thoughting and prayering group to somehow make this about race. It will happen.

Jesus

Not even 72 hours

Expect more of these around Black Friday

Those are usually just 'regular' shootings.

Multiple reports on Twitter state that there are up to 10 killed in the shooting.

Ffs

This is the worst country in the history of the world.

Nope, we still don't need proper gun control at all. It's not like it works anywhere else.

Just saw this...

Can't wait for the Right to try and blame Walmart for this happening

Don't forget that every time there's a mass shooting, gun sales in that area will go up because their local conservative politicians WILL push a "the libs will ban guns so get some asap" argument. Every damn time. And it works.

In a country with 400 million guns. That of which about half of the population own. Guess which political half has the majority of them, and have ingrained into their culture, "from my cold dead hands," and have embraced the meme of "I lost them all in a boating accident!" Plus, the response of "take/ban all guns away" just cements in their minds to stockpile even more. It happens after every high profile shooting, ammo shelves go bare, as do the gun racks. I should know, I've been in these places every single time after and saw it for myself. I remember one time a dude came into a gun store with one of those hand truck/dolly things and bought 10,000 rounds of ammo.

Whether we "need" more guns or not is irrelevant. But we do need them in responsible hands, and put checks in place to monitor/punish those who aren't. The genie is out of the bottle, and with 3D printing becoming more advanced and available we'll be facing a whole new set of issues down the road. The nightclub shooter earlier was a clear example; dude had enough red flags to see him from orbit, yet it took a coordinated effort from people in the club to finally end his murder spree. And this sack of shit tonight had to kill himself(according to some sources I saw) for it finally end.

Cosmetic feature bans, magazine restrictions, "assault weapon" taxes, outright bans don't mean shit to anyone besides those that don't know any better and are conditioned to just hate "scary black gun," or know full well they don't do jack shit, but knows their voting base thinks those do, and double down on them for support.

We absolutely need change. Current parties aren't going to allow actual discussion, so it's up to us right now to not become the next set of victims. Hate it, bemoan it, but don't deny it. There are hateful people out there counting on you to make defending yourself legally one sided, and to give them no challenge.

We need a constitutional amendment which isn't going to happen unless the GOP is completely stamped out. So if you want to ban guns, your immediate goal should be to make it so that Democrats control a majority in all state legislatures.

If we have that we can literally just blanket ban guns.
