6. And THIS Ladies and Gentlemen is where more "good guys with guns" gets you.

Wasn't an actual active shooter, but someone with a gun using it.

As our gun laws continue to get more lax, and more people are carrying, it won't prevent mass shootings, but increase the numbers of incidental shootings.

7. Do you think sooner or later Walmart will stop selling guns?

Oh, nevermind.

8. Where's your proof they bought the gun there?

9. I didn't say he did bought the gun there

Read my post again. Two Walmarts shot up in a couple of days. Maybe they'll figure out guns are bad?
