if the shooter was "neutralized"/dead then i guess somebody shot him. (although it may be the shooter himself)

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?

I can't speak for Savoir Faire but I'm 99% sure he/she was being facetious.

But, yes, your point is well taken and one I agree with.

When the shooting took place in the dark movie theater last summer, the gun advocates said that if all those people had been carrying, they could have taken out the shooter.

Like a bunch of people shooting willy nilly into the dark would have resulted in anything but more deaths.

Same thing in the aftermath of the Gabbie Gifford's shooting.

because clearly guns are the only way that people get killed in america by nuts.

He didn't drive through the mall with his car, guns are clearly the weapon of choice when it comes to killing people, get the picture.

If anyone wants to watch it from a local perspective in real time:

kgw.com | KGW News Channel 8 Live Newscast - KGW.com

A woman is reporting that she was sitting next to a man who was shot and the shooter then turned his gun on her but it jammed.

Chilling.

I guess some wuld rather see a nut kill by exploding a bomb. Basically eve3ry sad that people get killed by some nut case who proably if like so mnay has a record of mental problems or arrest record.

Now they are saying that no shots were fired by law enforcement.

The shooter must have killed himself.

You are absolutely right! If everyone had been packing a state of the art bang-bang maybe 30-40 people would have been cut down in the crossfire.
