Yesterday it's a shooting rampage in Texas.
Today it's a shooting rampage in Orlando, Florida.
Just breaking news:
"Reports are coming in that 8 people were shot in a downtown high-rise in Orlando, Florida. The local news reports: All eight victims are trauma patients, the Fire Department said."
"Officers were dispatched to the Gateway Center office building just before noon on Friday after reports of a shooting."
"MSNBC reports that there are at least two people dead and no suspect in custody. The shootings took place on multiple floors of the office building. AP reports that the building is on lock down and surrounded."
"Police have surrounded a Florida high-rise after gun shots were reportedly fired."
To repeat: the answer to too many guns, killings and murders is not more guns.

What is too many guns? Name a number please? And if you can be intellectually honest, ask this question; Could gun control lead to increased violence? It's a hard question to ask and even harder to answer. Our culture abdicates it's safety to others too often and then blames everyone but the perpetrator. People need to take responsibility for their own lives and safety.
too many guns is when people end up going on rampages, killing even a few people but particularly when they kill a large number of people, period.
too many guns is when the NRA wants to also introduce guns to national parks and churches, as has recently been proposed.
There's a couple of examples.
and even though no one is talking about instituting gun control, all it would mean is registering guns better so that criminals can't buy them easily and quickly on black markets.
