Garlic festival shooting: Three dead in Gilroy California
Three people have been killed and 15 injured after a gunman attacked a food festival in California.
The gunman was shot dead by police shortly after he began firing, although police are investigating reports that a second suspect may still be at large.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival was about to end for the weekend on Sunday evening, when shots were fired at the site.

But.... I thought guns kept you safe?

Recorded as the 246th mass shooting in the States this year.
But no, there’s not a problem.

This was my first thought also. Either that or part of the militant onion wing.

The truth has been for the past 40 years since lobbyists hijacked the NRA that it has been since, a corporate lobby, not the safety org it started out as.

That's because you've all given up and accepted that an unacceptable thing is normal, like Trump, your whole government system was designed to limit him and he just ignores it. exposing the fact that you will accept anything.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Of all the places in the world, a Garlic festival... What's next, a watermelon festival?
Par for the course in the US. It becomes the norm, so media won't report it. A man bites a dog, but if a man bites a dog every other week, it begets a habit.

Targets of mass shooters have been
Workplaces
Restaurants
Grade schools, middle schools, high schools
Colleges
Military bases
Movie Theaters
Malls
Churches
Music concerts
Day Trading offices
Clock towers
Hotels
Motives have been
Mental illness
Work place grudge
Racism
Religious
And funny that, all of them had access to firearms.
Pretty much any place people go out in public.
You can even shoot a president, and congressmen and still not get gun safety laws passed.
The United States Of Shooting Galleries should be our nation's name.
