Making national news. This one could be ugly.

"Mass casualty situation" is not a phrase you ever want to hear.

So in one week we've had 7 cop kills involving guns on both sides, a school shooting and now this shooting.
Is this the new normal that we'll just eventually become numb to?
You would think that when schools started teaching active shooter drills alongside tornado drills that would have shocked some sense into us.
F#$k the NRA and f#$k any other kind of gun lobby
Enough is enough.
Guns need to be registered and individuals need to pass a licensing test to get one.

And that still pales in comparison to a summer weekend in Chicago....
The usual response. I’ll mark you down as not being a part of the solution.
This is America, this is Us.
don't waste your time thinking something will change b/c of this...remember Sandy Hook? nothing happened after 20+ kids got their HEAD FVCKING BLOWN OFF.

It’s too soon to talk about gun reform. Too soon. Always too soon.
Blah, blah, blah. The only effective way to stop this is to turn the lawyers loose on the problem and do to these guns what they did to cigarettes and other dangerous and unsafe products. All the laws about background checks and registrations won’t stop nut jobs. Imposing a financial risk on the industry that produces and sells these dangerous products will stem the tide.
The American way is to sue sue bastards who make tons of money producing and selling these guns. If the politicians had begun explaining to the public the problems with the immunity laws after Sandyhook, we might have immunity repealed by now. But noooooo..........we need background checks!
To go down that road, I think you're gonna have to repeal the Second Amendment. Good luck with that, considering the Heller decision created the precedent for individuals right to possess a firearm.
But now that the Biden has flip-flopped and is now open to packing the Supreme Court, so who knows.......
The second amendment doesn’t have anything to do with product liability law.
Nope just have to pull back immunity on manufacturers and retailers and let the personal injury lawyers and insurance industry fix it. Nothing to do with constitution
Biden has asked for it:

Biden wants to end gun-maker liability protections. That could sink the industry, advocates say.
“He wants to drive us out of business,” said Mark Oliva, a director at a firearm industry trade group.

PLCAA - repeal it. Good for biden. That’s all it would takeBiden has asked for it:

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with the 2nd amendment. One should be able to buy and own a gun. But most guns out there need outlawed, there needs to be a massive buyback program, criminal penalties must be massive for those who break gun laws, taxes need to be astronomical, etc...common sense laws to start driving gun statistics down. This has been a 100 year spiral...it’ll probably take 100 years to fix. There is no fast fix, but good god we need to get going down that road!!!
Mental health is at its worst levels since the Depression. Everyone feels at risk to become a sacrificed pawn or a victim of an uncontrollable airborne death. To be socially-acceptable, you have to acknowledge helplessness and dependence on The Man.
Personal finances are shaky.
Media focuses on the worst-possible angles when they don’t engage in out-right politicized lying
Employment laws have made individual achievement meaningless and most unions are run by idiots and bullies at local and regional levels.
Social media has made the personal insult a badge of honor.
Religion is derided
So the weak minded get angry and shoot people to lash out
And we call it a “gun problem”
Until mental health professionals and background checkers combine to keep guns out of the hands of the weak-minded, it shall continue
In the bleak midwinter ...

I know he did. 10 years too late and not very forceful. The national conversation still centers on background checks and registration.Biden has asked for it:

Oh, sure. Decades of endless litigation. That's a great solution.
They won’t be able to get insurance. Remington is already in bankruptcy. And it may take five years. But it’ll get done. There would be a wave of suits. This is cheap litigation.
I cannot imagine having to be a gun manufacturer defense lawyer rolling into Saint Louis court to face a jury with all of the shootings here. Would be like powerball for the Plaintiff

It’s gun because any Tom, Dick, or Harry can stroll writhin 5 minutes of their house and walk out with an AR. That’s messed up!
Don't pretend this is a new phenomenon.... it's been going on for 20+ years now.
Why don't other countries have these ongoing occurrences?

Anybody want to bet it was not a semi-auto long gun with such a high fatality rate?
BREAKING: 'Multiple victims' after shooting at FedEx facility
Indianapolis police officers confirmed in the early hours of Friday morning that eight people had been killed in a 'mass casualty event' at a FedEx warehouse near Indianapolis airport.
One eyewitnesses reported seeing a 'man with a sub-machine gun or automatic rifle' firing in the open before people started fleeing. Two more eyewitnesses reported seeing a man getting a gun from the trunk of his car. One worker told local media they saw a body on the floor, while another said they heard 10 shots before alerting law enforcement.
I didn’t “pretend” anything
What happened 20 years ago was based on different factors
I addressed today
It’s not ever just one thing.
But your ultimate goal is the same, which is to deprive ordinary Americans of the right to own firearms.
So, to me, it certainly is a 2nd amendment issue.
Wait, Columbine and VA Tech weren't people with mental health issues and easy access to guns?
Just after The Rapture. Or until mental health becomes the focus instead of selling the fear of guns.
People who do this are either angry and react inappropriately, or they are mentally deranged from the jump.
But you can’t fix this by trying to take away guns from honest, regular folks.
