......Where were the good guys with guns?

They're out there. :rolleyes:

.....A store owner has been arrested in the shooting of a 9-year-old girl police said was hit by an errant bullet at a Southern California mall when the merchant allegedly opened fire on a pair of shoplifters he was chasing.

Marqel Cockrell, 20, was being held on $1 million bail after he was arrested in Nevada and booked on suspicion of attempted murder, the Victorville Police Department announced Wednesday......

 
no firearms are allowed. in the mall So a mass shooting literally took place in a "gun free" zone
What does that mean? That everyone entering the mall goes through a metal detector, and is wanded for weapons?!?
Or does it really mean that there's a sign with a red circle on the doors, with a red line through the silhouette of a gun?
 
I haven't been to a mall in over a decade.

My life is so much better for it.

Yep, “gun free” zone signs are as effective as speed limit signs and no dumping signs are - honest people obey them.
 
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
I suppose the sensible thing to do is wait for the bodies to get cold before we can talk about gun control in a thread about a shooting. Unfortunately, there are so many shootings that there are always warm bodies, which means there wouldn't ever be an appropriate time to talk about gun contr-

Ohhhhhh. I get it now.

That's because that's all 'gun-free zone' signs were ever meant to be: legal warnings.

You've got it inverted. Gun proponents like the NRA and the Republican Party are who tries to profit from these crises. People advocating for gun control aren't trying to profit from these crises, they're trying to prevent these crises.

Boy, these gun nutters are going wild these days, frustrated, ignorant and violent bastards. Seems like a monthly shooting went to a weekly shooting to a daily shooting, to an hourly shooting in this country. I'm not anti-gun, but I am anti-gun nutter......these frequent attacks on innocent people in our society has got to stop already.

Gun nutters see them as green lights.

The chief said that three individuals who he classified as "people of interest" were detained. The unidentified individuals were seen armed.

"We don’t believe this was random," he said. "We believe the individuals who were armed knew each other."

Store owners locked down and sheltered people in place as the police swept through the shopping center, Holbrook said. They are being reunited with their friends and family members.
 
This high profile mass shooting is ~ 41 days too early.

But I guess the numbers and averages all work themselves out in the long run.

Gun control?

How about a society that is breaking down?

And you know what we need to combat a decaying society? More guns. Sure, it didn't help the poor sons of bitches in this case, but hope springs eternal!
 
Yep, “gun control” laws are very special laws - which folks seem to think that criminals will obey.
And that's why I have a proposal to completely decriminalize undocumented immigrants. The criminals are just going to break the law anyway.
