Even that won't be enough. One thing about mass murderers is this. They believe that violence solves everything. It is not only a coward problem. It's a sociopath problem. It's a problem of mentality, a mentality of "you disrespect me, you die", a mentality of "if I don't like you, I will kill you". That is a large part of the murders we have in the USA. Not just drugs, not just gangs, but individuals with anger problems and the inability to control their anger.

What's the difference ?
There is no difference but they're 1 in the same. Gun free zones.

I say Florida should have reversed it's stance after the Orlando shooting. Make it illegal for patrons to carry in a bar, but sober staff allowed to carry.
The intent behind no carry when drinking is... well. Let's face it. Bad things happen when people are drunk... Add guns... forget bar brawls...

One reason Dylann Roof picked a church. He wanted a soft target. If he had gone into the ghetto, he might have had his posterior handed to him.
Agreed.

Too; that a good guy was able to get to HIS gun may've saved a LOT of lives in Nashville.

Until then the outage of the week is someone kneeling
The same would happen if the killer was a white supremacist but since this is a black male who is the shooter hardly anyone is writing!

Ok. So what's the point?

Black males are the most violent demographic in America. The government doesn't provide illegal immigrant crime stats. Maybe illegals would be more violent.

And what do you propose we should do about that? I know I can't do anything about that. I don't participate in violent crime, and the vast majority Blacks that I know do not either.

That's just life inside the crazy gun culture that is America. And we seem to be okay with the carnage, so why even bother to post about these incidents? They are totally unremarkable in this country.
He Murdered one woman, others are in critical condition. He shot her in the back while she was getting into her car and then rolled her over and shot her in the face.

Just Ho-Hum to the Leftists. The others were saved by the usher who was pistol whipped, got away and went to his car to get his gun. He saved lives from the "Church Shooter Nutter". That "crazy gun culture" translated today to a person who saved a lot of lives.

Tell us ....... exactly what Flag & Statues should be banned and torn down to stop this sort of Nutter?
Dylan Roof shot up a Church Congregation and started a "ban" wave. What should we "ban" after this Nutter - or does this Nutter get a pass because he is "special" in some way?

The "carnage" when Dylan Roof shot up a church was HEADLINE National news for weeks and resulted in a variety of "bans" and "protests" ...... "so why even bother" you say?

I'm sure you mean exactly that ...... SHUT this down, we don't want to hear about this particular "carnage".
