The shelf life on these is not long. This thread only has a couple of responses.

Got to make way for the next shooter news story later in the day.

The victims should have been more careful when deciding to attend community college, part of the price you pay to live in a great country where firearms are omnipresent.

Another shooting in the area...Arlington, TX (for those unfamiliar with the DFW area, it's between Dallas and Ft Worth..Cowboy Stadium is there as is Texas Rangers').

Twitter is reporting an angry customer opened fire at Zona Caliente restaurant. I'm hoping this part is wrong but another tweet said 2 died..hopefully not true.

Edit: 2 died. The person killed by the shooter..and then the shooter was killed by a customer who was armed.

And no crimes were committed in the acquisition of these guns.

That says it all right there...

At some point or another the Texas Legislature passed an NRA-backed law allowing guns on campuses and told everybody that this would make them safer, amirite?
