cliffs:
Went into restaurant to kill ex-girlfriend. she is still alive.
Shot guy in parking lot, he lived
Next, went into the movie theater started to fire shots.
Off-duty sheriff’s deputy working security then shot the gunman.:tup:

Why wasn’t this covered in the national media?

Because it happened on the 17th and people have short term memories?

I just heard about it today

Because a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun. The media doesn’t like to report these kinds of stories.

Yep nobody died…not interesting enough.

GUNS R BAD

mmmkay

?? I remember this on CNN, while relevent, there are so many gun deaths that one non-death can’t be a headline forever.

here’s a fun chart I just saw:

and one more…

I’m not saying ban anything… but there is room to improve.

Knew where this was going…

It doesnt fit their agenda… fox mentioned it briefly though

but the important part of the first graph is that gun deaths haven’t really risen a whole lot from the beginning of the chart. A few peaks and valleys but nothing really significant. On the other hand, vehicle deaths are sharply down from the beginning. That doesn’t mean that guns are getting worse, it means that cars are getting safer.

And the whacko’s are not.

Cars are getting a double bump in stats too because not only do they get safer each year but since 2007 total miles driven has been dropping because of the recession.

I would bet that a large portion of that is suicide by firearm.

there should be armed police officers at all restaurants and parking lots

I think this is what you meant to say so I fixed it for you.

I would feel more safe if public bathrooms all had armed guards. I mean you’re never more vulnerable than with your pants down, seated and taking a shit.

I blame syrup themed video games

Israel would be pegged to the moon if this was suicide bombing deaths and the US would have Zero. So pick your poison.
