shooting to be eerie like like. Not knowing the numbers. Police on saying anything. Ambulances really not
moving in and out. Most just sitting at the scene. We waited a long time to find 22 kids blown apart.

(20,255 posts)As our friend Wayne LaPierre says, "The only way ti stop a bad guy witha gun is with a good guy with a gun." A lot of Texans carry firearms at all times, licensed or not. I wonder if the shooter is responsible for all the deaths and injurues or somebody decided to be a hero and started shooting back.

(4,066 posts)As far as mass homicides with guns go, that's hitting pretty low on the old totem pole there. Pulse and Las Vegas were much better events, so to speak. This one is hardly worth mentioning. What, with such low killed/injured rates and it not being a Muslim doing the shooting.
just in case people can't tell:
Make sure you thank all those people's families for their contribution to the price of freedom.
