How is this off topic? Shootings are a controversial subject!! Don't Oregonians love their guns? Why didn't any of them stop this guy?

Latest report: two dead AND the shooter.
I'm not sure how much more permissive Oregon's gun laws need to be.

Gun laws in Oregon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note: the shopping mall is not in the city of Portland.

If everyone at the mall, even teens, were carrying a fully automatic rifle this would not have happened.

Ok, in which delusional world do you live that makes this seem true to you?

I'm walking in a mall. I hear gunshots. I look to the guy next to me, I see him drawing a weapon. More gunshots. I have no idea who is shooting, all I know is that shots are being fired, and people have guns.

I draw my weapon. Two people run by shooting at each other. I don't know who started shooting at who, all I know is that now I'm going to need to use my weapon. The guy aims at me, and I react to that, shooting him dead. I then get hell out of there.

Turns out he didn't start it. Doesn't matter, he's dead.

That's the world you want?
