In 6 months time we can discuss if enough time has passed.

Of course, if another shooting happens before then the clock starts over.

Most likely he purchased it from an individual and no background check was performed.

It’s being reported a neighbor of the church came out with his rifle and engaged the shooter, which caused him to drop his weapon and flee.

The wild, Wild West.

can't compete with an automatic weapon.

Too bad people gotta have their AR-15s. They have the constitutional right to have the ability to mow down hundreds of people at distance in a short period of time. Too bad people decide to exercise that right seemingly weekly now.

There is apparently no way to fix this. You can't take away people's guns.
