Yeah but others may have been injured or killed by stray bullets from others. There's really not a win-win situation there; unless all the people who carry guns are also great shots.

I heard they found the guy at his mom's house.

and
we would definitely need a better Health Care option, because apparently many people shoot themselves in the appendages.

When the person is intent on shooting as many people as he can find, the risk of stray bullets is far outweighed by the necessity of preventing even more from being killed.

I have family in Orlando so this was very concerning but thankfully everyone is ok.

This stuff is getting out of control.

Of course. After someone guns you down, you have plenty of time to get your gun and shoot back.

It was tongue-in-cheek.
Like my suggestions that ALL athletes should be required to be on Steroids so we don't worry about who is roiding or not.
Though if one person was armed in that office, the shooter would have been stopped earlier. Same goes for the Virginia Tech Massacre.

The guy was a disgruntled ex-employee, and it's scary because my company has DOZENS of those. I sit on a floor where there were once 25 people in the cubicles...now there are 2. Maybe one of those 23 will come back and open fire.

My father's company got to rent out a floor in a building in San Francisco a while back because the previous tenants had been gunned down by a disgruntled ex-client. It's scary that some people can snap like this and take out others with them.

Just a reminder folks. People are no more nuts today than they were all along. The difference is we live in an instant news society, something happens 3000 miles away and we hear about it within seconds, have two things happen in a close time frame and the next thing you know people are afraid to leave their house. Do not over react to such news, the odds of you being involved in one of these events is no greater today than it was when you were a child many years ago. You are far more likely to die in an auto accident than any random act of violence, I wonder how some would react if they broadcast every time a fatal auto accident occured in this nation, some of you might never drive or ride in a car again.
