Shooter at the Garden State Mall in Nj. Local place for me... no confirmed victims? Only reports were of a decked out shooter aiming at security cameras during the closing of the mall. No arrests yet and they're looking for the guy.

20 year old white male. Committed suicide. Made the commendable decision not to shoot anybody else! I feel weird about that last sentence.

I feel weird about the first sentence too!
gah.
It's amazing that the first reports are always 100% wrong, huh

A photographer, 27, was seriously hurt at Liberation and a motorist was forced to drive to the Champs Elysees before he was allowed to go.

= a guy driving a car was forced to drive to the Champs Elysees and let out the shooter and then he was allowed to drive on.

Is it wrong to suggest that if a mass shooting can take place on a military base, let alone the same military base, twice, where I assume the majority of people are if not trained in weapons use then at least familiar with guns, that maybe, contrary to the NRA and eager-beaver would-be citizen vigilantes, a well-trained and well-armed population may indeed have no bearing on preventing or otherwise thwarting mass shooters? Are there gun-toters right now beating their chests, suggesting that if they were there on that base, packing, that this never would have happened?

In the wake of the Navy Yard shooting, a lot of...shall we say Second Amendment zealots...pointed out that most of the people on that and other military installations are expressly forbidden to routinely carry firearms.

Firearms advocates have said that, more or less, after every previous spree shooting, so I'm not going to go to the relevant forums to seek out exact quotes.
[That touches on what I thought was the least realistic part of Spring Breakers--during the restaurant robbery, shouldn't at least one of the patrons been carrying a real gun, and responded in what he or she thought was the right way?]

The NRA has so thoroughly brainwashed its members that no amount of real world facts will change the overarching narrative, which is that Obama is coming for your guns. True, he may be waiting until the end of his second term, but he's still coming for your guns, and every mass shooting is a false flag designed to facilitate this.
