Mass Shooting Thread: Waiting on the next one.

i've been telling myself i don't need to strap up...never had to thus far even living in houston
i might need to re-think

i cant tell u what to do or how to run your household.... but as for me and mine? that thang is on me. people are crazy and its getting worse by the day. ducking and hiding doesnt work too well when the only person with a gun is bent on killing everyone he sees. its an ugly, ugly... truth.
 
Damn near gotta be a hermit to make it thru life unscathed here in the U.S. :{ :{ :{

My gut tells me to get the **** outta here for my kid’s sake, but not sure where to go or how to make it happen.
 
The only thing that's changed over the past two decades is that we used to spend 2 months talking about a mass shooting. Then it became 2 weeks. Now it'll be 2 days.

:{

RIP to the victims. Maybe someday we can do more than send thoughts and prayers.
 
They had a dad on CNN saying he was tracking his 22 year old's phone and it was located in the bar not moving :smh:

Father was also saying he was about to be a big brother with a baby girl on the way.

Bouncer at the door got shot. So there goes the "arm the problem" argument. Armed guards at schools. They'll be the first target on some sneak attack sh*t.
 
-Shooter had mental health issues
-a good person who just made poor choices
-if everyone in the club had guns this would have never happened.
-it’s just the world we live in. Nothing could have been done.
-debate over semantics of the weapon
-thoughts and prayers
-wait 2 weeks
-repeat
If he's middle eastern, remove everything but the last 4.

yup. common sense tactics will thwart all of that crap people talk about how to curb the issue. if theres one armed guard protecting a building you want to take over, hit the guard first. problem solved.

its a complex problem because the only thing a shooter cant account for is a person shooting back. but im not for arming all people. i dont think everyone needs a gun because most people imo cant handle it. mentally and emotionally unstable people with a gun on their hip is the most dangerous person you can be around. theres no easy clearcut way to solve this problem.

but starting at the root is a good first step. access to the guns needs to be made 3 times as difficult. register the weapons. any negative marks against the psyche that are documented (ever been baker acted or hospitalized for a mental condition or episode) needs to be disqualified. its UGLY... but necessary. because for every single person who dies at the hands of someone who was mentally unfit, it couldve been prevented.

The solution is complex but the start is simple: declare this a public health emergency, initiate studies into how to curb it, hire professionals, and fund the research.

Amen to that. The only time I don’t carry mines on me is when I’m at church or on vacation. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. If you stay ready you ain’t got to get ready.
 
The nextdoor neighbor said this dude is ex military going through PTSD and living with his mom. Said he rarely left the house and never spoke to anyone when he did go out.
 
new guy saying reports of a middle eastern man with a long beard

Let's see.... the shooter's name is David Ian Long....

How with DC and Md gun laws pretty much opposing what you can do in VA?
 
So he used his military training to attack his own people? Nice country.

So many are coming back messed up but they keep that on the low. My mom has a friend who's son came back from Afghanistan with PTSD. Dude would wake up in the middle of the night screaming and ducking for cover under the bed saying he heard explosions, think his young wife leaving him too.
