Here is the progress.

1. "Thoughts and prayers".

2. "Now is not the time".

3. "Out of my cold dead hands".

4. "We are the real victims".

Looks like the shooter is dead - shot by armed guard who wasn't a pussy like the FL guy.

Gunman is now dead. Two others injured. Glad it's over, but it's frustrating that these people die before they can go before a judge.

Does sound like in this instance, it could have been much worse. Thankfully, it was able to be stopped quickly.

Whatever way these vermin are removed from the planet works for me.

If they got the death penalty I'd likely be dead by the time they went through the appeals process.

How many armed gunmen have you taken down?

"Never again" never seems to mean "never again."

So? Everyone is glad it was not worse. Not the point.

It STILL amounts to an ease of access problem. 


5 armed POLICE officers were murdered in this event.

Easy to say what you would do when you are not in the moment yourself. That guy was by himself at first. The killer out armed him. And he had said that he thought the shooting was going on outside too. He wasn't sure where it was happening. Sound bounces off of everything and acoustics can give you a false perception of the actual direction it is coming from.

There was a former military guy at the Oregon college shooting with a legal carry permit, and he didn't go in either. 

Even outside mass shootings, like 9/11, people called the firemen brave for going up. I'd agree but there were experts after the fact that said they should have not done that knowing the heat and melting of the pillars.

Point is, you were not there. I am sure that responder wanted to do more, but I think you are jumping to conclusions as to why he didn't go in.

With firearms, what America IS NOT DOING, is making it about prevention. I am sick and tired of the worshipers saying "Don't blame us, just keep them out of the wrong hands," then when we agree they shout "NO".

Arming more people IS NOT the solution.

Never, again.....?  



@ That shit from Alpha...above....people get shot regardless of whether or not they're "pussies".  No one in their right mind wants to get shot.   Saying that somebody was a pussy because they didn't properly wade into gunfire is something that only a person who's never tried to wade themselves into gunfire can say.  

-and who's the "pussy" now, ya fuckin pussy?

I think that's the funniest thing. It's such a trivial reaction to such an awful event. "Sad reacting" and move on.
