How did Fox News describe the shooter?

Criminals circumvent the law to get the tools they need to commit crimes. We already have 22,000 gun laws on the books which are mostly infringements on the Second Amendment because brain dead, sociopath, socialists want to overly control the law abiding populace. More laws won't stop criminals from getting guns, bombs, gasoline, knives, nor any other tools to commit crime.

Criminals and lunatics will get guns no matter what you do. Gun laws only prevent the law abiding from protecting themselves.

And with such a huge reservoir of weapons in circulation, it is easy for them to do this. So let's make sure that the reservoir keeps getting larger.

Makes sense.

Turns out he was 19, not 25-35.

The one thing a shooter does not want to hear..... Return fire.
If everyone was armed, would a deranged individual think twice?

When confronted with armed resistance whether it be police, or a private citizen these shooters typically shoot themselves, or die by suicide by cop. Bottom line it is a good guy WITH A GUN that stops them.

1- Metal detectors and security needed for a garlic festival

2- It still wasn't enough. Ultimately it's a people problem. People bent on doing harm to others will find a way to do it.
Yep, that is what life has been reduced to in the "shining city on the hill." We must have metal detectors and high security now even at small town festivals.

This was not a gun-free zone and five people were shot to death and two injured yesterday.

Update: Shooting in Lake Hallie leaves 5 dead, 2 injured

Gun free zones work well on airplanes
