tjm Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Didn't all the mass shootings in the USA take place in gun free areas where the shooter felt safe from retaliation? Has there ever been a mass shooting anywhere in a room/building where most of the occupants were armed?

I guess maybe the range or a gun store. And at any rate, soft targets make the most sense for anyone looking to get their name in the record books.
ColdWaterFshr Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Just think how safe the world would be if every man woman and child had their own personal AR15. Terrierman 1
MOPanfisher Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 I don't disagree at all, but basically every military issued firearm has been a very popular weapon in the civillian world. Essentially every mprovement in weaponry makes them more efficient, easier to handle, hold more better ammo. Even shotguns are very availabLe in "assault versions". And I am not one who feels shotguns are necessarily more deadly just different. As for the surge, it was made "popular" for lack of a better word. Names faces kill counts etc. Gets splashed all over the news, but it is news and should be reported, however I wish they wouldn't give out names and photos just to deny the SOBSs he fame they seek. Honestly I guess I am not wired to understand what drives these goofballs, and I have no desire to understand them, they are crazy and or evil and if they are in the act they should go down like a chicken killing dog. I know many have mental issues and arw on or off various psychoactive drugs and that is terrible, however there are a lot of people dealing with those issues and.don't go out and shoot people. Once they cross that line, I have zero sympathies for their plight, makes me sound not very Christian but so be it, never claimed to be a good one. Terrierman 1

I'm not sure now, with all the PC, sensitivity and fluidity, but a few years ago it could have been in beer joint or dance hall in this area. A lot of years ago it could have been most schools in fall. You are right soft targets attract predators.

Its hard not to be judgemental when you realize right from wrong. The Old Testament was very loose at allowing a person to pass judgement. Ten Commandments.

One of the USMC sayings went something along the lines of it's not up to us to judge, it's our job to arrange the meeting. snagged in outlet 3, MOPanfisher, Walleyedmike and 1 other 3 1
jdmidwest Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 On a lighter note, I am glad they are opening up here next week, I need a haircut. The back of my hair is curling up, have not seen that since High School when the Beatles were in style. I was due for a cut 7 weeks ago.

Last crew cut I had was when I was about 10. I made it thru cancer with all my hair except losing the ones on my tongue, and a few patches on chin and back of neck. But, I need a grooming.
