Thats unfortunate and upsetting i send my condolences to those effected that person should of had a mental screening and some got some help sense he was probably fired for acting crazy anyway he shouldve gotten one before getting a gun anyway but pray for them and hope this is a lesson on what not to do or what to do differently next time all of that shouldve been avoided but im sure the would if they could.

OMG! When,Where, did this happened. We can all thank the Republicans, president, & 2nd amendment to this continuous slaughter of human lives everyday! The right to bare arms doesn't mean you have the right to pick up a gun & gradually walk into a public place & slaughter innocent people!I remember in the American history books this privilage was granted during war time when it was necessary to protect your home & land. Not during peace time. It's not right to have some moronic butt head have the right to walk anywhere armed & shot innocent people on a daily bases!

He shot the manager and his brother.  I saw a little about this.  Maybe if we taught kids that failure is part of life and there are consequences for your actions things like this would not be so common.  This is the result of you don't spank your child for anything ever and everybody gets a trophy.

NO we can thank the DA democrats and their stupidity for this.  The ignorance of your thinking is too much.  You cannot blame law abiding gun owning citizens for the actions of people who are not going to obey the law no matter what.

And the right to bear arms if not just during war times. 

By your same thinking you need to have your rights to drive, have a DL, and own a car stripped from you.  People drive drunk and high all the time and kill innocent people.  It has to stop.  The only answer is to take everyone's right to drive away.  You can walk or take a cab if you want to go somewhere.  (rolling eyes here)

It's not going to stop.  Things are only going to get worse.  We live in a country where people are allowed to do whatever they want, kids on up to adults.  So when something happens like you get fired they do not know how to handle it.

It is funny you don't want to blame the idiot who done this but ALL gun owners.  Did you all miss where he was fired for pulling a knife on a customer?  I guess we need to ban knives while we are at it as well!

And no he doesn't have mental illness.  He is an evil piece of trash who should have been locked up a long time ago.  But we can't do that cause it might hurt his feelings.  If there was real punishment and kids were taught how to act this would not keep happening.

Right on right on countrygirl12! I had not heard of this story.  Sadly it's not the first nor will it be the last shooting. I don't know the facts of the story - or the individual for that matter.  But, I couldn't agree with you more in regard to your "we might hurt his feelings" statement.  The world today enables the woe is me'ers and then things like this happen.  It has nothing to do with gun laws. I grew up in a household with guns.  May of them weren't locked up.  Dad was hunter and Mom grew up during war times in Germany.  I knew the guns were there... I was taught not to touch them.  When I was old enough I was taught how to handle them.  And when I broke rules I was disciplined appropriately...  My parents had 5 children.  We never grabbed a gun and went shooting people when things didn't go our way.

https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/press/releases/2014/April/some-437000-people-murdered-worldwide-in-2012-according-to-new-unodc-study.html

Go look at stats for 2012 murders worldwide.The Walmart situation gets exposed but is nothing new to what was to be expected from this generation told long ago.

If we or our loved ones arent affected it gets shrugged off till it gets national attention again.....then many say this has got to stop.Almost 500,000 murders in 2012.

Its a wicked world.Come to grips with it.Man doesnt have the power to fix it.Of course many have hope he will but deep down inside they know the truth and when u tell them of a hope how it will get cured most dont care to hear it.

You are still blaming the wrong person and I don't have anything in a twist. For someone who isn't angry you sure are expressing a lot of it.  You did not blame obamer when there were shootings when he was president so I am not sure why you want to blame Trump for the shootings today.  I also am not trying to silence anything but you are trying to take rights away from people so what's the difference.  I done the same thing.  I expressed my opinion.  You cannot take away the rights of the people to own guns because some idiot uses his right to have a gun to do something bad.  No different than a drunk driving a car and killing someone.  Or the ones who drive a car in to a crowd of people with the intentions of killing people.

Exactly.  With me NO guns were locked up.  They did not have to be.  I was taught not to touch them and we didn't.  None of us.  Ever.  Except when we, at a young age were taught how to shoot.

He did not hurt any customers.  He was after a specific person.  The manager who fired him.  He should have been in jail for pulling a knife on a customer.  So now we need to ban knives as well.

Online shopping might be good but you still have to go out in public so Idk.  You cannot bar yourself in your home and never go outside.  Although sometimes I feel that is a good way to go.

Funny that this seems to happening in this country more and more.  You have to ask yourself why this is! Are we just a more violent culture?  Why it that?  Should we monitor guns more closely as there seems to be too many that can't handle the responsibility? Are we unable to handle anger because of our self-entitlement?  It raises my questions.  It's too bad we don't have answers but we need to find some.

Millions killed in past generation world wars and countless others killed in other wars.

Worldwide murders in 2012 500,000.Increase in crime and love of greater # cooled off.

Not gonna write a book....so much more.

Why do many ask why and when they are told the truth its like they are in a trance?

When Jesus said to know the truth it sets you free from wondering why and what side of fence you wanna be on
 

When Jesus was asked the most important commandments he said the first 2.

1.To love and obey the TRUE God <Jehovah>
2.To love neighbor

All other commands are based on those 2.God has rules.Most of us know them.Gods kingdom or governement will enforce those rulz.We have freedom of choice.To choose life it is in our best interest to submit to our Creator.....but we arent forced to......but the Gods kingdom will NOT be what this world is now.The wicked one will be no more.It will be a righteous government.If you are happy to live your 80 or 90 yrs and do your OWN thing that is your decision....no one is forced to obey but enjoy your attitude let us eat drink and be merry cos tomorrow we die.

Jesus ransom death bought back the prospect of living forever.But Gods conditions must be met.They are told in his word what we must do.

Obviously if you love God you wont be a thief or a murderer to your fellow man as 1 example.Satans lie to Eve to be independent of God and she wouldnt die was a big fat lie.His time is short and he knows it thats why this world is insane now.Gods word teaches us how to win battle against him.

The gun laws need to be federal and enforced by all states so they are the same.  Many of the shooters in the last couple of years have had previous mental problems but because of some states checking and some not, some have waiting periods and some not people can go across a state line and pick up a weapon same day.  There was a ban on assault weapons that McConnel let expire, would not bring up for a vote a couple years ago so more of these shootings are with those weapons.  My family has been in the military, law enforcement and are members of the NRA but we do Not condone civilians having assault weapons.  They are made and used for one thing to kill as many people as quickly as you can.  99.9% of people who own guns do not have kids who take them to shoot up schools or shops or festivals.   Trump signed a bill a short time ago allowing people with mental history problems to own guns.  Most (not all) of the shootings in the last couple of years have been by people spouting off the white supremacy stuff who are born and raised here.  Whether you like it or not the current president  has made this kind of thinking and actions acceptable with His own actions and words.  He did not want to help Puerto Rico because of his bankruptcies there and them making his company make good on their promises, he says the things about Baltimore because his family has been land owners who have had to clean up their properties and they are still in trouble there for not taking care of their properties (They have even spent jail time over it).  He has door men who have said they were told not to let people of color in to say that the units are already rented/leased.  I have a friend who is of Spanish heritage and her family had one of the original land grants in California be told to go back to her own country...she had been here for only about 10 generations...more than many of the people in this country.   We have got to stop with saying any stupid or ugly thing to people just because they do not look and act just like we do.   One of our rights in this country is to be able to say and do (MOSTLY) what we want, but then you better also be able to take the consequences of those actions.

Really? Because you can only be shot at Walmart?  The guy shot the manager INSIDE the store.

Your instructor is an idiot.  Bad things happen every where.  Not just at Walmart.

And when within 30 minutes of carrying out these acts you have instant world wide fame it just encourages the next person to do it again.  And now, there is no punishment.  They just say "mental illness" and they get a slap on the wrist and they go on with their lives.

It is not just the news.  I agree that making the details so public and making the person famous it encourages the next one.  But look at the video games where the goal is to kill as many people as you can.  They sit and play these games all day every day.  Look at the movies and tv shows people watch.  That is all it is.  Kill kill kill.

As for revenge usually the person(s) shot have nothing to do with the thing the person is mad about.  And it is pretty sad when your revenge is to end a life because you got fired for pulling a knife on a customer because you are an idiot who doesn't want to be at work to start with.  This country is in some real trouble.  And no taking the only means of defense from the good people is not the answer.

A person's right to own a gun is NOT more important than a person's right to life.  To not have some common sense measures on gun ownership is ridiculous and allows human life to remain secondary to having a gun.  Moscow Mitch is part of the problem when he doesn't bring bills to the Senate floor, Republican politicians who receive large donations from the NRA are another part of the problem, and a president who denounces anyone or anything that doesn't praise or agree with him is still another part of the problem.  No policy on far right terrorists that are "home-grown" is a sorry state of affairs.  They ought to know better.  It would be nice to see some guts on this matter!

Here is a picture of my AK-47 I have owned since 1999....it has never gotten up on its own and killed someone, nor have I taken it out in a rampage and killed someone.

Don't blame the gun, blame the idiots out there...people run people over in cars...stab them...poison them.

A gun is merely a tool that gets misused...

The Federal laws that are on the books are enough to stop most people who do not deserve firearms but are not enforced like they should be...my firearms WILL NOT be taken from me because of the actions of the few who misuse them.

If there had been a concealed weapons holder at any of these shootings they could of stopped the shooter...guns will always be around...be vigilant and get your CCW's

“The Showy Display of One’s Means of Life”

● To keep up with one’s neighbor in the material things of life is a popular practice. Observing this, Benjamin Franklin once said: “Of what use is this pride of appearance for which so much is risked, so much is suffered? It cannot promote health, or ease pain; it makes no increase of merit in the person, it creates envy, it hastens misfortune.” True it is. Misfortune and disaster will devour those who plunge into the snare of trying to keep up with their neighbors, just as surely as this demon-controlled world will pass out of existence at Armageddon: “Everything in the world—the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life—does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:16, 17, New World Trans.

A person's right to own a gun is NOT more important than a person's right to life.  To not have some common sense measures on gun ownership is ridiculous and allows human life to remain secondary to having a gun.  Moscow Mitch is part of the problem when he doesn't bring bills to the Senate floor, Republican politicians who receive large donations from the NRA are another part of the problem, and a president who denounces anyone or anything that doesn't praise or agree with him is still another part of the problem.  No policy on far right terrorists that are "home-grown" is a sorry state of affairs.  They ought to know better.  It would be nice to see some guts on this matter!

lol Yeah it is.  Especially when owning a gun can protect MY right to life.  You can't take the rights away from law abiding citizens who have done nothing wrong.  By your thoughts as I have said before...

YOU need to be stripped of your DL and your rights to drive.  Why?  Because too many people drive drunk and high and cause accidents and kill people.  The only solution is to take the cars away from every one.  No one can have a car.

There are already laws on buying a gun and gun ownership.  For those of you too stupid to grasp it the people who are carrying out these senseless acts are not obeying the law.  And they will not obey the law no matter what.

And then you want to just blame the president (who had nothing to do with this) and Republicans (who had nothing to do with this) says YOU are the problem.  You need to quit trying to take sides and hate and keep the country divided.  You blame every one except the ONE person who carried out the crime.

Here is a picture of my AK-47 I have owned since 1999....it has never gotten up on its own and killed someone, nor have I taken it out in a rampage and killed someone.

Don't blame the gun, blame the idiots out there...people run people over in cars...stab them...poison them.

A gun is merely a tool that gets misused...

The Federal laws that are on the books are enough to stop most people who do not deserve firearms but are not enforced like they should be...my firearms WILL NOT be taken from me because of the actions of the few who misuse them.

If there had been a concealed weapons holder at any of these shootings they could of stopped the shooter...guns will always be around...be vigilant and get your CCW's



Exactly!  People are too stupid to grasp that.  They blame everyone except the person who carried out the crime.

So much evil out there ex-employee's taking it out on the wrong people get some help find another job - parents killing their children, boyfriends/girlfriends killing each other - shootings at two festivals recently..... makes me want to just hide out in my house.  So sad that anyone has to lose their life because of someones problems or mental illness.

This is another part of the problem.  They do not have "mental illness".  They are evil.  Nothing more.  If we are going to say they have "mental illness" then we need to bring back asylums and lock these freaks up so they cannot hurt anyone.  Keep them in a straight jacked 24 hours a day.  Let them eat food out of a bowl with their face like a dog.  Treat them like the animal they are.

Some how I am thinking if this was going to be the life they would fly straight and all of a sudden not have this "mental illness" problem any longer.

You have the right to remain silent.Anything you say may be held against you.


What a bunch of rubbish.We can say anything we want....LOL!Freedom....please!!!Brainwashed at its best.

Thank a vet?For what?Blowing woman and children away in Vietnam?

Draw the sword.......you die by it.

Not if you're being arrested. You'd be stupid to open your mouth and incriminate yourself if you're innocent.  As for Vietnam, the company was ordered to do it but only one officer was put on trial and sentenced. Back then, there was a problem with villagers being the Viet Cong, women and old men included. You couldn't tell them apart from the good people. Just like today's Taliban, Al Queda, and especially ISIS. I'm not excusing what happened but you shouldn't let hate simmer. It's not good. Vietnam is not today. You're hatred is 51 years old. I would think your wounds would heal by now.

So lets see....we have freedom of speech but we can bury ourselves......hmmmmmm....thats freedom?

The company ordered them to kill............hmmmm...you mean the government?God bless America?LOL!!Put your hand over your heart and remember the injustice.Who would wanna serve such a god?

Only one tried?LOL!!Guess you missed that show on WABC a little over a month ago.Quite a few soldiers came forward and reported what they saw or participated in.

So we cant tell the enemy from the innocent eh?Surprised more dont get gunned down on Halloween.

If you can let go what happened 51 yrs ago i think you should question your conscience.I have NOOOOOOO problem saying i dont support what they did and for the sake of eternity i support what Jesus said RE the sword.Ill bet you wouldnt say that RE 9/11...oh thats right...that was only 18 yrs ago plus we got attacked on our soil.

There are fools here that say they have been taught the bible but have NO problem carrying a weapon.The intent is there to own one and use it.

Hypocrites.

Oh My! What has the world come too; this has to stop.

It's not going to stop.  Things are only going to get worse.  We live in a country where people are allowed to do whatever they want, kids on up to adults.  So when something happens like you get fired they do not know how to handle it.

It is funny you don't want to blame the idiot who done this but ALL gun owners.  Did you all miss where he was fired for pulling a knife on a customer?  I guess we need to ban knives while we are at it as well!

And no he doesn't have mental illness.  He is an evil piece of trash who should have been locked up a long time ago.  But we can't do that cause it might hurt his feelings.  If there was real punishment and kids were taught how to act this would not keep happening.


You are still blaming the wrong person and I don't have anything in a twist. For someone who isn't angry you sure are expressing a lot of it.  You did not blame obamer when there were shootings when he was president so I am not sure why you want to blame Trump for the shootings today.  I also am not trying to silence anything but you are trying to take rights away from people so what's the difference.  I done the same thing.  I expressed my opinion.  You cannot take away the rights of the people to own guns because some idiot uses his right to have a gun to do something bad.  No different than a drunk driving a car and killing someone.  Or the ones who drive a car in to a crowd of people with the intentions of killing people.

I'm with you (agree) on all your posts about this.   It seems every mass shooter now uses the mental illness excuse. It's crap. They know exactly what they're doing. It's sad. I blame it on lax parenting. no religious teaching, and violent movies and video games. They think what they're doing is not real, that they're playing a game. This also can point to the hate for Trump by the media, the elitist in Hollyweird, AND different House and Senate Dems who have been spouting garbage. I watch C-Span a lot and it's ridiculous how the media and Dems have brainwashed some people...like the woman this morning. She knows exactly what to do to stop shootings: (1) Abolish the 2nd Amendment; and (2) Abolish Trump. Sounds like if she had her way, she'd attack him.

The hate started during the Obama Administration. Mass shootings started as far back as 1949. I haven't found anything on it but I think the Wall Street Journal had that info.  Back then, you didn't know about many of them because there was no SOCIAL MEDIA or CABLE NEWS that spews hatred day in and day out.I would love to post a saying my parents had when I was a kid but it's a bit vulgar so I can't. LOL

Right.  There were mass shootings when obamer was president.  The dumos were not blaming him.  They still blamed the Republicans.  So all these dumocrats that are protected by ARMED guards need to no longer have that.  Why do they need to be protected by GUNS if they want to take the guns from the law abiding citizens.

And you are 100% right in that 44 is who divided this country.  We were more divided after he went into office that in the history of this country.  Sadly I do not think it will ever change.  The left is too full of hate.  And are doing everything they can to destroy this country.

The first Walmart shooting was an employee who had been fired for pulling a knife on a customer he got upset with.

The second Walmart shooting (the mass shooting) in Texas was a random crazy person.

The thing is people are so stupid this just further divides the country.  The shooter was white so everyone who is not white wants to HATE EVERY WHITE PERSON and blame every white person for the actions of one.  He does not represent the entire white population.  Just like when some black thug kills somebody.  It is HIM.  And him alone.  He doesn't represent the entire black population.

There is no answer.  Things will never get any better.  We have gone too far in the wrong direction.  And people are too full of hate.  And the racism goes in every direction. People just seem to hate everyone that is not 100% exactly like they are.

Everyday there is a shooting somewhere, Texas, Ohio etc. Something has got to be done about gun control and security.

This has nothing to do with gun control.  People who think that are part of the problem.  Legal law abiding citizens who own guns are not the problem.  The people who do stuff like this are not going to obey the law anyway.  Drugs are illegal.  But yet we have more of a drug problem than ever in history.

And it has nothing to do with the cop out "mental illness" foolishness people spout.  People are just evil.  Call it what it is.  If these people have "mental illness" to this degree then they need to be locked up in an asylum for life.  Like the old days.  Lock them away and forget them.  Then the rest of us can live in peace and safety.

If that cannot happen then you certainly do not need to strip the only real means of protection that law abiding citizens have.
