After a while, these daily shootings will take their toll on what people choose to do. The terrorists (NRA) win.

I am going to write a letter to the management of our local mall to inform them our family will no longer be shopping in their "gun danger zone".
Pressure on capitalism will bring down the NRA.

But I am sure antigunsters would hope that there was an impact so that they can leverage their agenda.

Besides most local shops are in the strip malls. The corporate malls all have the same stores owned by the same people hawking the same crap at higher prices.

The last time I went into a mall 3 Christmases ago we went to a movie. But now with all these shootings and all the guns, it just makes more public places unsafe.

I'll also be extra careful on election days. If someone has anything higher then a D rating by the nra I'm not voting for them. F ratings are preferred.

so I seriously doubt that would ever happen, and if it did it would probably be after I was dead from old age so I wouldn't be able to vote anyway.

It was packed. I have never met anyone afraid to go into a mall.
