I think it belongs here because this is what we get with easy access to guns and the resulting proliferation.dudeman said:At least no one was injured or killed. This could have been much worse. As such, maybe this belongs in the Idiot Thread instead of here.

Agreed. What he did was part of gun culture. Sometimes gun incidents end like this. Other times, someone gets shot.Go Beavers said:

Nice well thought out intelligent post. (Insert sarcasm)Shyner said:Guns are bad.
Animals = humans
Don't kill anything
If shooting a gun gets you off
You don't deserve to have one
Some of u don't understand because of your instillment.
Honestly i see no reason to shoot metal at a target. You have to sacrifice luxuries to ensure
Protection for women and children.
Guns kill , gun owners kill. You don't need toys.

Yes, and I'm really surprised this didn't receive in Canada (i.e. enough for it to have been mentioned in the regular news broadcasts that I see). Usually a horrifying mass shooting like this in the US gets at least some coverage up here.cincybearcat said:

Isn't Texas an open carry state?

How ironic that you are condemning the police and calling it a "murder" without due process. Where in the article does it even mention the race of the asshole? Why do you not condemn the person that shot 8 people? You are being ridiculous...CM189191 said:

I know. I'm just saying I'm surprised this one wasn't covered, since they usually are.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
