One person was reportedly killed and five others wounded in a shooting spree Wednesday in Mesa, Arizona.

I’m almost certain that God, Jesus and “constitutional rights” will somehow work themselves into the local coverage before the day is over.

This kind of tragedy happens much more frequently in the United States than anywhere else.

But as we all know, it has nothing to do with lax gun ownership rules or a gun culture that sees firearms as a solution to perceived injustices. Just ask the NRA. They are completely unbiased.

Mesa is filled with Mormons… OTH they are strange but not usually violent.

snark off
I hope everyone, except the shooter, gets to walk away eventually.

Cause everybody needs a good gun or two or three or more.

Perish the thought! This has nothing to do with guns. It might have been video games, or some music that he heard one time. I’m sure Fox will tell us soon enough what caused it.

Hey NRA where’s the “good guy”?

How do we know the shooter isn’t the “good guy?” By their standards, he may well be.

“bald, white male in his 40s with a tattoo on his neck” Evangelical. Charismatic I bet.

This is just more proof that having everyone carrying guns does nothing to protect people. At least 1 in 3 folks in Mesa have CCW licenses. Where were these heros?

Reminds me of Chris Kyle and his friend. Both of them were armed, along with EVERYONE else at the shooting range. Yet they’re still dead.

Spent the weekend in the Phoenix area. I saw 3 folks wandering about with handguns strapped to their sides. Open Carry was a bit startling to those of us from more civilized regions. The open carriers were all white men in their forties with tattoos. I report, you decide.

Wait, you mean good guys with guns didn’t step up and shoot the bad guys?

I have family in Phoenix. The first time I went to visit, I rented a car. My rels. told me, in the event that I got pulled over for anything, be sure to place both hands on the steering wheel because due to the open carry law, the cops approach vehicles with their guns drawn.

Of course AZ legislature, because nothing says “god gave us gun rights” like randomly shooting and killing people on the streets of MESA!!

Lying dead on the street.
