doesn't count 3 or more shot as a mass shooting.

That said, more guns = more mass shootings

I'm so sick of crazy gunnut statistics. Actually it's a republican problem too. And his poster doesn't account for all the guns that have been sold on fear that Obama was going to take their guns.

"Jason McLemore reportedly had an unholstered 9-mm. handgun by his side when he was shot."

It sounds like he pulled a gun to threaten, and found out why that is very bad idea.

There were probably a lot of shots fired, and it sounds like he was returning fire at the same time, and maybe dodging when he finally got shot.

Don't ever threaten. Find another way out, or shoot to kill.

Way too easy to shoot a neighbor these days. It's like we have lost something in our brain that used to stop us.

We should instead think of these people as potential health hazards. Everyone a lunatic waiting to emerge at any moment. That's what I think when I see people walking around with their guns. Anyone who has TO SHOW their weapon in my mind demonstrates they are one step closer to the cliff and ready to make the jump to crazy land.

Sorry they were killed, but they have been profiting from gunz and hatred. The murdering customers are just your typical gun toting yahoos. Yet we coddle these blights on society.

We've been told that an armed society is a polite society. Well, I'm not exactly Miss Manners, but I do think shooting, let alone killing, is the extremely rude.

Besides, haven't we been assured that guns make us safe?

It will save you the drive, the disappointment, the anger, the arguments, the firearm brandishing, the fatal gunshot wounds.

The cynic in me notes that this is 2 dead gun owners, 2 gun owners heading to prison who will now never be legally entitled to possess a gun, with no non-gun owners killed.
