BREAKING: 9 Shot On Illinois University Campus...Shooter Still On The Loose

I see that it happened within a block of the campus bar and in an alley. I may be wrong, but my first guess would be that some idiots got into a drunken argument, decided to go out and have a fight in the alley, and one or more pulled a gun when they got there.

I agree...The mass shooting stamp is misleading, still relevant though .

We need more guns. Bigger. Bigger capacity. Bigger laws allowing everyone to pack whatever they can carry. It has worked so well so far. Look at the ME, such a happy, healthy, secure people with all those guns. I am not being sarcastic. I am giving up and into the violent nature we have become.

I don't know, but in Kansas, they were given the chance to concealed carry on campuses in 2013. I must be missing all the mass shooting stories taking place on the campuses in the state ... KU, KSU, Emporia, Ft. Hays, Wichita State (a good one because the neighborhood around it BAD) ...

Yes, they're two different stories.

They've also now saying that the number injured in this incident is 5 rather than 9.

So, what defense stance should women in a beauty shop take against gunmen? I mean, how do you have the trigger in one hand, and trying to do hair in another? Should we just stop going anywhere, would one weapon per person be enough? What about bombs and drones, and oh my. Should I buy some for my defense arsenal?

Jesus, can we give the fuc**in anti gun stuff a rest? 9 kids just got shot and that's all you have?

You know, as long as we're at it..... The gun free zones are working really well, don't ya think? Those signs really stop those bad guys, huh?

a reply to: MOMof3

Considering that I have seen people open carrying around where I live and I have yet to go into any place of business where the workers are working with one hand while carrying with their fingers on the trigger with other (bad gun etiquette btw), I think your ridiculous hyperbole is ridiculous.

But here's your answer ... there are wonderful places like Chicago with very, very tight restrictions on who can and can't own guns where you will, I am sure, be perfectly safe from random people owning them.

Does anyone else find it odd that we now have 3 seemingly random mass shootings across the US in the past few days leading up to the first Presidential debate tomorrow?

My heart definitely goes out to the victims and I hate to go political, but I smell something fishy here. Especially when you have a candidate harping on gun control. No better way to gain vote then through fear.

Flame me all you want, this crap IMO has false flags written ALL over it.

Yeah because real life is a movie with a nice consecutive clean story line so anytime you have overlapping events it's a Mulder scenario.

If there were never mass shootings and all of the sudden you had these 3 maybe the false flag approach works..the truth is though you basically have mass shootings every weekend in Chicago along with multiple mass shootings over the year..

Well, If you don't join in on "every american owing a gun", we are willing targets don't you think. Americans are dying all over the place.

No I don't think that at all.

And Americans aren't dying all over the place. Sadly, most Americans are dying in certain neighborhoods, and if you live in a city long enough, you learn very well which ones those are. Odds are very good that if you avoid those places, you aren't in danger of "dying all over the place."

Strangely, if you remove several of our largest cities from our gun stats, suddenly our deaths to gun rates drop to match plenty of other first world countries.

And how has those strict gun laws worked out? Every gang banger in Chicago has a gun, but up until 3 years ago, it was illegal for residents to carry. You can not imagine the time, money and hoops I jumped through, to get a concealed carry permit in this state.
When will people get it through their heads..Criminals don't obey the law. Seriously, how does that not make sense to you? You can make all the laws you want, make the punishment as harsh as you want and criminals will Still Have Guns. They have chosen a life style where the rules don't apply to them, so why the HELL do anti gun people think making it illegal-er to own a gun or shoot someone, will make one damn bit of difference to them? Crazy people do crazy things and words on a piece of paper is not going to stop them.

This is true and I might add that almost all of those big cities with high incidence of shootings are run by Democrats. Chicago, Baltimore, Philly, Cleveland. etc.

normally the gun debaters wait until the aftermath or all facts are out.... pg 1 became a gun debate not the state of the traumatized or a bit of concern.

anything on the perp? i dont have twitter

I agree. How big should I build my defense arsenal and should I start covering my body? I'm off on this subject. I am sick with all this dying. My brother is in dying right now from a violent act. See ya later.
