General Mass Shooting Thread (originally Las Vegas Strip)

I'm with you Taze. I had to give my daughter a gun education talk when I bought my first gun and she was in 5th grade. I asked if she wanted to learn more about it, thinking Eddie Eagle class. She said no she didn't. Then there was an incident about a kid finding a gun at another kid's house and firing it. I told her if that happened to immediately leave and tell an adult or call the police.

 

I fear for my granddaughter.

That's why I am all for stricter gun laws and raising the age limits and getting rid of the gifting of rifles/shotguns to anyone under 21 years of age.  And start holding people responsible for not properly securing their firearms (locked up) where kids/others can access them.  As a father of a 10 year old, this **** worries me a lot.  I cannot imagine what the parents/families of the victims are going through in losing their child.


As a gun enthusiast myself, I couldn't agree with you more. 

It boggles my mind how some on the far right feel like making some common-sense concessions is the god damn liberals coming after their guns.

My daughter expressed interest in learning to shoot.  I think she needs to be a little older, given her current maturity level.  But we eventually are going to have her trained properly by a professional trainer that was recommended by the local range.  He is one of the instructors (the best we were told) that does concealed carry classes there at the range.

What is the criteria to call something a mass shooting?

 

Mass shooting = 4 or more shot.

Fatal = at least 1 dead.

 

So there have been 20 instances where 4+ people were shot and at least one dead.  The total is 110 killed or wounded.
