Fox reporting more than one gunman. But only one dead, which would imply a second is captured or on the run.

I thought they had strict gun control. Not sure how this incident is possible.

It's this whenever its a shooting.

"Ban rocks/knives/etc"

It's this whenever it's not.

Probably just be safe to say some people are evil.

Agreed. I don't believe anyone is "basically good" and that most people are as moral as it benefits them to be. Banning tools used by humans to do evil things doesn't usually stop evil things from happening.

Yup. I carry, but I also don't deny countries who have banned guns statistically have less shootings than we do. Easy to see that in the numbers, but way too late to try and scale back here, we will forever be a gun country. And I'll always have one.
