If or whenever they come to their senses these assault style rifles with 30 round mags need to be the first thing banned
He was using an AK 47, if it was an Uzi, it would've been worse. You're right about the cops being close by.

"Authorities on Monday were searching for answers to why a 19-year-old opened fire on a popular food festival less than a mile from his parents' home in California, killing two children and another young man, but believe many more people would have died if officers patrolling the event had not stopped the gunman so quickly. The killer is Santino William Legan and the three victims are 6-year-old Stephen Romero, a 13-year-old girl, and recent college graduate Trevor Irby, who was in his 20s, authorities and family said."

I miss him. Didn't agree with everything but he was hard not to like and it really tore me up when he was talking about sandy hook

I have no idea why you'd believe that. But he is pretty much a run of the mill white supremacist....

I didn't know the Dilbert Cartoonist was such a piece of crap.

When a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California, on Sunday evening, killing at least three people, including a 6-year-old boy, and wounding 12 others, Dilbert creator Scott Adams apparently saw a juicy marketing opportunity for his blockchain app.

https://gizmodo.com/dilbert-creator-...g-t-1836781947

seems he has a lot of horrible beliefs and opinions as well.

Yeah, as much as I loved Dilbert, and Adams' books even more so, turns out he's a complete piece of s***. A hilariously funny piece of s***, but a piece of s*** none the less.

I'm in the middle of watching the Showtime documentary series Active Shooter on Crave and I'm stunned by how many of the shootings covered in the series I either barely recall or don't remember at all, including the San Bernardino and DC Naval Yard shootings.

That's probably not a good thing.

I read on Twitter 18 adults and 4 children killed. Really hope that’s false info.

According to a Texas congresswomen the amount of deaths is "shocking" but can't give a number yet.

The shooter identified as Patrick Crusius of Dallas. Just turned 21

As you can see with the earmuffs the idiot was prepared

Lots of thoughts and prayers from the White House today.

At this point it rings so hollow you’d think they’d come up with something different, but I guess not.

Hmm. White dude. They never kill people in the US. This is unusual. Are you sure it wasn't a Muslim terrorist?

From twitter:

El Paso shooter has a manifesto. Of course.
...the “attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

All that was missing the "make america great again" Trump special hat

There’s actually zero hope for meaningful change in the US. Will just be a fact of life forever. Sandy Hook changed nothing, therefore there’s seems no possibility any event would spur change.
