According to the UK Daily News ...... he lost his round and was a "sore loser".
Witnesses have said the shooter was a player who had just lost in the tournament. One witness told CNN he saw the gunman shoot multiple people before killing himself.
An obvious case of the shooter standing his ground according to Florida law.
Yeah, Im sure ALL of the guns stores in the country perform background checks on every gun they sell to new customers...ok..
You think street knuckleheads are the only ones not following the laws?
If they don't if they sell a firearm without a background check then they are running the risk of loosing their license, of being brought up on gun running changes and face Federal Jail time. It is required for a Licensed Gun Store to run a background check. If they don't the store owner/personal are breaking both Federal/State gun laws.
Uhh they do. As someone who came very close to opening a gun store and getting an SOT to manufacture machine guns... yes... you do perform a background check on EVERY sale... Otherwise, should such an event occur and that weapon gets traced back to you it's a long time in the steel bar hotel... and HEFTY fines...
At all the flea market gun sales too? Theres no way all the gun sellers are doing all the background checks that they should be doing. Thats the only way this kid could have gotten a gun unless he got it from a friend, or parent.
Thats why a new system is needed for only government verified arms sellers so we know every one of them are scanning and tracing each sale. We dont need a million flea market and mom and pop gun shops in the country now.
Getting the government to crack down on the black market
Enacting the same laws nationwide with stricter registration, mandatory national database like cars, no grandfather clauses, EVERYone has to register their weapons
Closing down all gun shops that dont do background checks on sales, or registrations
Disposal/destruction or exporting of any guns confiscated by ATF, including those redistributed to crime areas from law enforcement
Red flag/baker laws enforced for the nut jobs
Eliminate gun and ammunition purchases online, in person only
End legal immunity for gun manufacturers
If the sellers are too strict for criminals to get the guns, and everything is traceable, the crime doesnt happen. Law enforcement is trying to track the criminals with the guns, but theyre behind the ball, by then its too late. Stop the black market sales, the criminals cant get the guns.
All of this just to start help stop the illegal flow of guns across state lines to criminals, reduces the gun crime, yet the law abiding owners can keep theirs. Whats so bad about that?
There are plenty of sensible things we could do. Likely easily if we got enough political will to follow through as a nation.

I understand that, but who here is verifying that all of the gun shops are following this law? It all needs to be registered and tracked.
Stand your ground does not allow you to murder in cold blood because your feeble liberal parents and/or liberal school teachers never taught you how to cope with losing...
I'm offering nothing other than people should arm themselves better, in order to possibly prevent the next one of these. You're not taking away my gun.
Diff between prevention and reaction.
No shortage of armed police and civilians in Dallas, in 2016, when a sniper ambushed Dallas Police officers. 5 officers were killed. 7 officers and 2 civilians injured.
People ran for their lives including those doing the open carry thing. It was impossible for people to distinguish between the sniper and those fleeing with their rifles flung over theIf shoulders.
