Special needs student scores touchdown in amazing display of sportsmanship

Suspect is dead. Should we just skip the condolences and get straight to finger pointing?

Just another day in paradise. Sad to say, I just move on. Seems like I can't even care anymore.

The condolences are empty and useless if we are unwilling to take an honest look at our gun proliferation culture and take action to change things for the better.

Default Welcome to the USA... another mass shooting.

I guess insanity really is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. What’s this now? A thousand or so mass shootings since Newtown? Sad.

Local news outlets report that several people have been shot at a Baptist Church in South Texas.
Television stations KSAT and KENS report that there are multiple victims and that there is a large police presence at the church in Sutherland Springs, which is 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of San Antonio
.

Default Texas Mass Shooting

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...ooting-n817751

Multiple people were reported killed after a gunman opened fire in a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday, an official said.


Is it too soon to discuss gun control yet?

I thought states like Texas with super lax gun control meant all those people doing open carry would stop these shootings from happening?

If permitting handgun license holders to conceal carry or open carry on church premises is a cause of concern to your church, Texas Penal Code Sections 30.006 and 30.007 provide clear rules for notifying handgun license holders that your church is a gun-free zone or concealed carry only.
So much for gun free zones working...

Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers...

Isn’t that how it goes?


Oh yeah, it’s too soon to talk about common sense gun laws. He is mentally disturbed.
