This is getting a bit out of hand.
We are going to get hit soon. And hard.

Was it a Jihadi?
Betcha a dollar, it was a theater with “No Guns Allowed” policy.
Reports say it was a white guy.
Katie Domingue of Carencro was at the 7 p.m. showing of “Train Wreck” with her fiance’, Joshua Doggett. About 20 minutes into the movie, Domingue said, she heard a loud noise.
“We heard a loud pop we thought was a firecracker,” she said.
She saw “an older white man” standing up and shooting down, not in her direction.
“He wasn’t saying anything. I didn’t hear anybody screaming either,” Domingue said.
By hit hard I mean I think they are going to make a huge gun control push.
Ya know, I used to write off conspiracy theories as nonsense but now I’m starting to have my doubts…
when did they stop with a gun control push? Obama saw an opening and gave it his best shot, he failed legislatively and has zero chance of anything legislatively, he will continue to push for sneaky gun control, banning some people on SSI, 41p, banning certain ammo, BATFE directives changing rules, etc.
its a bad thing when this happens of course but these days I just say so are the 100 deaths per day in Auto accidents and teens texting and driving are about 11 per day even the 3 drowning and add 1 for boating accidents per day
and lets look at heart disease and cancer so why not ban all smoking and unhealthy foods etc…
OH I know lets look at medical malpractice if you want to really be freaked out by death rates !!!
We all know that Honu. You are preaching to the choir. But it isn’t about the truth. It is about the Narrative.
Please tell me an armed citizen capped this sorry piece of shit before he could take his own life or the cops got to him…
Maybe he was pi**ed that Holmes got convicted?
Frantically looks around for the Popeye/Looney Toons swearing under garbled breath sound effect…
Condolences to those affected.

2 dead, some injured, gunman punched his own ticket?
Gunman shot himself. POS. Man another shooting just adding to the pile.
This.
No mystery here. Another suicide that decides to take a few people with them before they shoot themselves.
Of course, they’ll blame guns and white people. I wonder what flag they’ll go after this time, or will they pass a ban on mail order ammo or bayonets- something that won’t actually address the problem, again.
And 30’inner city kids will die tomorrow around the country. Don’t they know that they are losing voters?
I first heard of this in a text from my newshound, gun owner father. I went outside and unleashed a string of profanity then went back in to the dealership.
I bet he is another mental case who decided he wanted to take a few people out with him when he ended his life. Tomorrow the gun control drums will start beating but no one will look for the actual root cause of the violence. Such a waste of life because one guy decided to end his life and try to get some fame from it.
Haven’t heard an ID, but CNN says he has a criminal record from years ago…
I don’t walk into a movie theater with out my M&P9 with an X300. I only go with my kids to see their movies now and I’ll be damned if I’ll walk into a literal kill box with out the ability to put serious smack down on one of these guys.
Another gun free zone:

Maybe if we didn’t put these dickheads on the news every night for 6 months to a year, nutjobs with nothing to lose wouldn’t see it as a way to get famous.
There were copycats to the Boston bombers but nobody is trying to ban pressure cookers.

“No one knows motives. Motives are very difficult to ascertain, as you know,” Taylor said. “And I think the copycat bombings are less ideologically motivated and merely people trying to get their name in the news. But the bombings themselves are increasingly driven by solipsism, a form of Muslim jihadism.”
Our ‘gun’ policy is driven by unicorn hunts. They say they are chasing these active-shooter/mass-shooters, but the majority of gun deaths are suicides and the next big group is gang/drug violence.
I really wish that the NRA would try to focus on the suicides and support laws to cut gang/crime. Show decreases that far outweigh the non-existent effect of banning mags and bayonets.
Progressive gun policy is LITERALLY crazy.

If we are going to win the gun control debate, we need to get away from logical fallacies like this. The obvious counter is while those deaths are bad, it doesn’t change the fact that guns deaths occur independently of the other deaths, and shifts the conversation away from the topic at hand.
This fallacy is known as the red herring.
Lets work on strengthening our arguments against the masses, not failing basic philosophy.
