1. "Respect Life"

[Maru Kitteh]

2. Yet another reason why I'd never work L&D. Too many hormones, emotions,

family dynamics, . . . Nope.

# 1 reason? I drop things.

[Ilsa]

4. I knew a pediatric nurse practioner who worked the NICU.

After she had her own baby she accidentally dropped her on her head. I wish I could laugh, but the baby had a fractured skull.

[Maru Kitteh]

5. I can't even begin to imagine the guilt or pain. Nt

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Nurse on Reddit says both victims dead; one nurse, one PCT

And the suspect is in the OR, expected to survive.

Norse on Reddit works there, was present.

[Nevilledog]

7. Yeah... Just read that both had been killed.

[DFW]

6. I can think of a few cruel and unusual punishments the shooter deserves

As well as the ones who wrote the law that made his weapon legal, and then the ones who boted it into law.

12. Wonder if he was

Opppsed to a woman carrying a pregnancy by him to term, as mandated?

[Sky Jewels]

13. Remember, the most important thing is that the killer's 2A rights weren't infringed.

[Warpy]

16. And thank god the gun wasn't hurt.

[AllyCat]

32. .

Isn’t that the truth?

15. Murica. It's all the librul commies fault. I grow weary of stories like this. Take the fucking guns

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. You say take the guns,

explain how without widespread violence and every court in the land ruling against such a law before the ink even dries?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for gun control, but not for confiscating firearms.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. I'm with Beto. AR's gotta go. I'm not for taking hunting weapons which is all you need anyhow.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

21. I have no problem with that,

but the vast majority of firearm crime is committed with handguns, so banning the assault weapons will drop the firearm crime rate about 10%, what about the other 90%?

[Evolve Dammit]

22. take 'em. "Mr. Saturday Night Special; ain't good for nothin' but put a man 6 feet in a hole."

hunting (shotguns/rifles) oughta be enough for ... wait for it.......

hunting!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

24. And you think this would pass muster with just about any court in the land?

BTW, loved Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Just tired of it. "Before some old fool come around here. Wanta shoot either you or me..."

I think the majority of We the People want it.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

27. I'm right there with ya bro or sis,

but with this SC, I don't think it's possible, at least in my lifetime, or my children's lifetime, but maybe in my grandchildren's lifetime, which I won't be around to see.

[drray23]

28. like they did in australia

institute a buyback program where you are given money for weapons ( foe example assault weapons if they were banned ) you hand over, no questions asked, do that for a year or two or whatever time frame is deemed adequate.

After rhat period if you are found in possession of one such weapon you get prosecuted. Police would not have to go door to get the weapons , it would happen when dealing with other crimes.

Australians did it successfully and they still can have hunting guns of course.

Here is an article about the effectiveness of the approach .

[MarineCombatEngineer]

30. And what leads you to believe that the courts would uphold such a law?

Remember, Aus. doesn't have our version of the 2nd Amendment.

[AllyCat]

33. And you are not alone. Americans don't have the stomach for it

So guns and gun violence will continue to rule our lives and cause untold suffering and death.

Americans love guns more than life.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

35. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Bluethroughu]

38. The guns gotta go.

We will deal with mental health too.

[Alpeduez21]

17. Police departments across Texas

Sought to deny gun permits for 38,000 people because they were deemed too dangerous. This no permit crap by the ‘law and order’ party lets them have free reign to weapons. Fuck you GOP. GOTV!

[Kaleva]

41. That law didn't prohibit people from buying guns

It had only required people who lawfully wished to conceal carry to get a permit. My guess is that the shooter didn't care if he was legally carrying or not because his plan was to commit murder.

[Cozmo]

19. Thanks, Greg

[IronLionZion]

23. An armed society is a polite society

so the answer to these shootings is obviously more guns.

[Initech]

25. It's been 0 days without a mass shooting in the US.

Thanks gun nuts.

[Alwaysna]

29. To the suspect-worthless thoughts & useless prayers are being rushed to the scene.

[malaise]

31. Common sense would dictate that guns have no place in hospitals

Ah fucking well.

[Kaleva]

36. There are signs at local hospitals saying firearms are prohibited

[DVRacer]

34. Update

DALLAS — A suspect was shot and arrested by Methodist Hospital police after he fatally shot two hospital employees Saturday morning, hospital officials have confirmed.
