Another Walmart Shooting that won't make a lot of headlines. Why?

@fallenturtle

An interesting theory, but seems more likely that it’s not getting a lot of intention because it seems it was personal dispute as opposed to a mass shooting.

By some definitions, it is a mass shooting.

@GrandWazoo

So if the armed citizen was not there, the police would have been there shortly.

Define “shortly”?

Since we’re supposing, what would he have done if an unarmed citizen had confronted him?

Last school shooting in LA 5 in 15 seconds. What police department has a 15 second response time?

By my maths’s, the OK citizen saved at least 2 lives.

@WildRose

And yet you never come out demanding “common sense knife laws” or the banning of “assault knives”.

Careful

@westaussie

I do recall the push back from emergency health professionals were told to “stay in their lane” when they spoke out but the impact of gun shootings. Whilst it it entirely your prerogative to decide whether you would like to follow my advice or not; those who are opposing sensible gun laws reform would be far better to work with rather than against those advocating sensible gun laws reform.

Do you? Interesting.

We have sensible gun law. Had it since 1789.

It is as though you are deliberately ignoring my often repeated position that it is up to the electors of the USA to decide whether they will vote for candidates who propose sensible gun laws reform. I am sure it must be an inadvertent omission of yours rather than a deliberate attempt to misrepresent my position.

No it isn’t. We are not subjects.

@WildRose

It’s the gun they are obsessed with.

No, it’s the subjugation. The gun is an obstacle.

Let me know when you can kill multiple people at a range with a shovel.

@WildRose

Because the shooter was confronted by an armed civilian within seconds and took his own life.

He didn’t want to kill strangers. Quite evident a targeted killing.

You have no idea what he wanted, which very easily could have changed during the course of events.

Not the 2 lives of the targeted.

Which 2 others was the shooter targeting.

His targets were already dead and his life was already over.
Even if nobody confronted him, he would have shot himself by the end of the day.

It’s not going to get much news coverage because it’s not as interesting as a rampage on strangers.

Good Lord that’s stupid. After an event starts, you have no idea what’s going to happen. You only know what the result was after it’s over.

The citizen wasn’t responsible for those two lives. So you’re saying he should have shot first?

[Showpony_Cowgirl]

I’m not a “gun zealot” . Just a country girl on ALOT of land. Safety is important to us out here.
Not looking to pick a fight or be on the receiving end of one from someone who has no perception of life out in the sticks. My point was not “political”. Merely a perspective from one who needs a form of self defense.

You don’t know that.

[Auto129]

We can make an educated guess, based on other ex-wife killings. They usually don’t balloon out into rampages because the motivations of passion crimes are different from terrorism.

Yes we are.

You’re so baaa, baaa, baaad.
