    And some of YOU do not understand the correct way to handle a threat.
    Hint; It is not being unarmed.
    If you follow the history of the vast majority of these shootings you will find the second there is resistance from armed personnel, the shooter immediately kill himself.
    You choose to wait until LE arrives, I hope you are successful hiding for five to ten minutes. I choose otherwise.

    all depends, sometimes playing dead works too, sometimes the shooter goes after the ones moving as knows they are alive

    The biggest factor in the number killed/wounded in a mass shooting is the amount of time until an armed response it present.

    Notice he took out he armed individuals first.

    That's not supposed to happen, at least if you're a liberal. They would have preferred the perp shot 20 people instead of 3, all sacrificial lambs to their anti-gun PC.

    How many of these mass shootings happen in gun free zones where law abiding citizens don't carry because its illegal?
    Spoiler alert: Its most of them.

    Well that didn't work out. It's possible to be in a bar having a meal and not drinking. Or they could have some alcohol and not be drunk, just as when you have a drink but are under the legal level.

    These perps may be criminals, but they aren't stupid.

    Ultimately the Heller ruling did not change anything of meaning in this particular case. Certainly not with respect to firearms purchase and ownership as was being carried out prior to the decision. Nothing new happened after the ruling, that was not already happening prior to the ruling. Firearms were purchased for private use before the Heller ruling just as was done after the ruling.

    It has been read, and it does not state what it is being claimed to state.

    How does any of the above address the point that was raised? The state of California has already implemented so many firearm-related restrictions, what more can it realistically do? What is left to implement, short of a total prohibition on handgun ownership?

    States do not actually have to comply with the age mandate for alcoholic beverages. They are rewarded with increased funding for federal highway programs if they do. It is bribery rather than law.

    It appears you need to start doing what the UK is doing and start doing knife buy-backs.

    What are you going to do about your knife nut culture?

    The criminals kept their guns and didn't turn them in.

    I know. I'll draw you a picture.

    I get together with some old friends once a month to play cards. When we are going to do some drinking, I Uber it both ways. Vastly cheaper than a DUI.

    How many of the mass shooters that "ultimately" commit suicide could have been stopped before his suicide but for restrictive CCW laws and gun free zones?

    We dont get that choice.

    And law enforcement, ccw holders, medics cant ever blow over .01.

    Thats 1/8 the state maximum for dui.

    So I doubt they were drinking.
