The shooting was the latest episode of gun violence to strike the country. It sent hundreds of shoppers fleeing in panic.
If guns keep US safe, I do not want to be this safe, but what do I know, it not the regular people with guns, it's the nutty people, that kill, ye, and the gun sales person can tell the different.
More guns on the street, more guns that will be misused, so the gun crazes can have fun, with their guns? High cost to pay for fun!

It doesn't seem as if our love affair with killing machines will ever end.
It's easier to get or buy a killing machine than it is to buy a six pack or a pack of smokes.
We are not a rational or sane people. There aren't any Red Coates hiding in the shrubs to shoot us anymore.
There are unstable, angry, weak, and dangerous people everywhere. Many of them carrying a loaded killing machine, waiting for the right moment to blast away innocent bystanders.
How many dead people will it take before we acknowledge we are not sane enough or wise enough to allow everybody to have a killing machine?
I'm surprised we haven't decided it's okay for children to play with matches.
Yeah, I know we have the right to bear arms. We also had the right to own people until it dawned on us that wasn't a very good idea. When will it dawn on us that not everyone is sane or stable enough to have a killing machine?

Not sane  in some states you walk down the street packing but not in a suit coat (if you're not born a male) |

Seven more dead in Texas this morning. Folks at a bus stop in front of a homeless/migrant shelter. Driver intentionally ran into them at high speed with his SUV. Seven dead and many more sent to hospitals.
No place in the U.S. is safe from the hate spread... and still being spread... by MAGA politicians and media outlets.

Too many lunatics out there. Can't buy a gun? A vehicle will do.
The first step to recovery (sanity) is to admit/acknowledge you have a serious problem.
We Americans have a deadly and serious problem. Why? I don't know and I don't care. Land of the free? Really? Free enough to gun down innocent strangers or run them over? Not free enough to take a walk on a nice day with friends or family.
God, guns, guts, and glory? I don't think so. There's no guts or glory or gods involved when killing strangers. Just maniacs!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Thanks, it's a big company, so I did not know him, but it not a good feeling.
He died so people could have fun with their guns, I do not think the people who knew him will think that it is a good trade-off.
The new GOP talking-point is mental health kills people, not guns?
But the GOP does even want background checks, many killer fit in with the GOP well, so how are the brainwashed, people who are already, using the GOP talking points, like the points are the Truth, going to fix all the mental ill, before they get a gun, they are so happily selling them? The brainwashed, believe because they like guns? The GOP, Fox and bad news tell them what they want to hear, and make money doing it.

The man who police believe killed at least eight people at a mall in Allen, Texas on Saturday afternoon wore a tactical vest with a “RWDS” patch on it, sources told The Washington Post on Sunday. The acronym, which stands for “Right Wing Death Squad,” is a popular insignia among white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and paramilitarists. No motive in the shooting has formally been established by police, but the presence of the patch—among other factors—has reportedly contributed to authorities approaching the mass shooting as a possible hate crime or domestic terrorism incident.
One of DeSantis friends?
