Spineless cowards. Can't wait to see them post hollow "thoughts and prayers" tweets while they continue to bend over backwards to the NRA as people continue to die.
I hope we get to a point in the future where our grandchildren look back in history and curse us for letting so many people die.
I hope we get that far.

Nope. I can order a 1,000 rounds online and have it shipped to my house like anything else. You can also buy 80% lowers online, mill and drill them out and have youself a ghost gun as you can buy everything online and no one would ever know. I'm almost done building my AR-15 that started with an 80% lower, and am planning on buying an 80% handgun complete kit later. Although I'm mostly doing it as a hobby I will have serial numbers engraved and they will be registered but you don't technically have to register them in some states. Even i think its crazy with what you can buy and have delivered to your house. Sadly i dont think there's a lot you can do to regulate with the damn NRA around and the crazy "govmnt gunna take our gunz" people.
Doesnt Walmart literally sell guns?
If that's the case then this is literally a nightmare waiting to happen.

It's incredible that these things just happen every damn day in the US and no seems to bat an eye, thousands of people murdered each year because some guys over 200 years ago thought the average citizen needed guns to defend themselves, while the rest of the western world don't have this issue because they realised how dangerous that would be.
Failing to anything after events like Sandy Hook, Columbine,, Virginia Tech, the Orlando Nightclub shooting and Las Vegas is a grave disservice to the future citizens of the US. The United States of America is a lost cause in terms of implementing proper firearms legislation that protects it's citizens.

Yup I have said numerous times that Sandy Hook should have been the catalyst, like how in the UK we had Dunblane Massacre which resulted in bans on Handguns.
What is shocking is that if this were to happen over here I would be shocked. As its America its like "Happens every day!". Its not a great look for the USA
What I don't understand is why the US doesn't have, at the very least, nationwide laws on the topic and a nation level database of the people that have guns, and instead, each state has a different laws and regulations. It kind of defeats the purpose de of being ultra strict in one state if you can travel a couple of hours to another place with lax laws.
He didn't walk in, buy it, and then start shooting.
Also, when's the last time you've heard of an active shooter at a gun store?
Because the NRA has lobbied like crazy to stop each nationwide bill that even comes to a vote.
Another nonsensical tragedy, hopefully they find the guy before more violence happens :(

Well we do have a national gun database that could track all of this, except due to the NRA's lobbying they are only allowed to use physical records, with only a basic card catalog and no backups, so it's impossible for them to actually track anything with any decent level of efficiency/accuracy

The only reason I knew about this one is that my local news here in SC posted a live feed from the area where it happened on FB and it showed up on my feed. I instantly turned to all of the major news channels and none of them were mentioning it at the time and they never did from the time period I was watching it. I mean, we have a seemingly random shooting, three dead people and no suspect in custody and the lack of coverage for this is insane. Heck, I didn't even get any news alerts on any of it from the many apps I have on my phone.
I've given up on gun control. The only way it will possibly happen is if someone who has the ability to affect change has their family shot down by someone who purchased a gun, and even then, it probably won't happen as their mental gymnastics will defer to "mental health"
Condolences to those who've lost their lives and their families.
Whenever things like this happen I just try to keep a few things in mind: 1) comparatively to history, we're living in relatively good times, and 2) the nature of being so connected at all times magnifies these events. Not to belittle them, just to keep things in perspective.

Three people are dead, shooter is white. Does not seem work or family related. Why the fuck no one is covering this?
Hopefully he will be caught soon. Police have released the name.

Yeah, I'm surprised I'm not seeing this mentioned around much. Horrible tragedy and RIP to victims.
America has the most mass shootings of any country by a long shot. It also has some of the most lax gun laws in the world as well. While you will have those who seep through the cracks, there are clear examples of how to at least mend the problem based on other countries. However, tell that to the NRA and the rednecks who own the country.
Saw this on my Facebook feed this morning and was shocked that I had friends at the business literally next door as this happened. I'm thankful that they're alright, but this is still absolutely horrible.
We live in a country that is more interested in lobbying for people to have things that's sole and only purpose is for killing rather than worrying about fighting for people's right to get basic health care. It fucking sucks. America sucks.
Crime may have been racially motivated.
