SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas — Local news outlets report that several people have been shot at a Baptist Church in South Texas.
Television stations KSAT and KENS report that there are multiple victims and that there is a large police presence at the church in Sutherland Springs, which is 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of San Antonio.
KSAT reports that two Airlife helicopters are also at the scene.
Source in TX tells me as many as 10-15 dead in church shooting in Sutherland Springs, near San Antonio; suspect is down

To obscure of a location to be a terrorist attack, I reckon. Probably a local gone bonkers.
If the bonkers claims to be on any sort of mission, it's still terrorism, right?
Depends on what you mean by "mission". If he hears voices in his head that tell him to kill people then its not terrorism. If he was on a misison to kill everyone in the church because the pastor was sleeping with his wife, its not terrorism.
Been a couple of weeks since America’s last mass shooting, was getting worried.
Another failure of 'good guys with guns'.
Funny how that's not really a thing in these mass shootings, huh?
I dunno...does anyone know if church carry is legal in TX? That would be a starting point.
And then if that particular church allowed it.
Is it too early to talk about controlling guns or too late?
It certainly has me wondering how many of these it will take before some people starting seeing the light.

The country decided that twenty children being murdered at Sandy Hook was acceptable. In order for real gun control discussion (and possibly even legislation) to take place, it's going to take something many magnitudes worse. This? This is nothing. This is a mildly annoying morning in rush hour traffic for these guys.

Thank goodness you no longer have to worry. :roll: At least 27 are dead.
Shooter walked in wearing combat gear. Bodies are still being removed, and the death count is expected to climb.

No one ever, under any circumstances, found that "acceptable." You cant have an honest dialog when you start with lies.
But that wasnt your intent, was it?
Well fine, I think most of us want to vent when were hear of these tragedies.
Nothing is 100%. Alarm signs on houses and security cameras in stores aren't 100% effective but do lower the amount of theft. Likewise, while reasonable gun control laws won't stop these acts, they can reduce these acts. Nearly 1,000 Americans have died in gun deaths since the Las Vegas event. All other western nations have stronger gun laws and lower gun violence.here's the main problem with the gun control debate.
GOPs think gun control won't stop gun violence, but rather impede law abiding citizens from defending themselves. and I haven't seen anyone from the left refute that point competently.

If you're not willing to seriously discuss possible gun-control measures in response to the murder of twenty children, then it means you were able to stomach their deaths. Ergo, it's acceptable.
