    For a state that was mostly for seniors, they sure have a lot of crime there.

    80% chance the shooter is someone who could not legally own a gun for reason of being a convicted felon. 15% chance it was some crazed incel trying to kill some gal that rejected him.

    And, most likely, when they check out his social media they will find it pro-Trump and wallpapered with MAGA references.

    Par for the course.

    Condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims.

    I have seen more Liberals doing and talking crap than pro Trump. They go nuts just seeing a Trump hat.

    And yet gun ownership greatly INCREASES the chances of a firearm tragedy in the household.

    More guns = More firearm tragedy

    How that does that apply to me? We live in an isolated area too far from law enforcement to be of value.

    The issue isn't whether gun ownership increases the chances of a firearm tragedy in our household. The issue is whether we are safer with guns than without guns.

    It's hard to improve on the maxim that: "When seconds count, the police are only minutes away."

    It's also not very reassuring to learn that, legally, the police are not required to protect you.

    Dirtbag drughead is dead. In this case a gun made the world much better.

    Had the shooter been dragged to the town square and hung from a street light for 3 days there would never be another shooting in Sebring.

    In this day of eating Tide Pods I just don't know. Hanging and rotting in the town square might be considered 3 days in the sun, a legit route to fame.

    Actually it doesn't. In fact it doesn't even deal with reality. The odds of you being injured by a fire arm in your possession are only slightly better than your chances of being attacked by giant anaconda while roaming about Fairbanks, Alaska in the dead of winter.

    Impossible - banks are gun-free zones.

    100% chance the gun-free zone did not prevent this.
