1. Stand Your ground!!

Sick of this shit, really, sick of this shit.

2. Unless all guns are banned and collected this is impossible to stop. nt

10. Go ahead and visit your neighbors and announce

that you are there to pick up and destroy their firearms.

Be sure to let us know how many were collected.

9. Sank Like A Stone

I see this thread sank like a stone on the board. Unfortunately, we are getting used to mass shootings.
On the good side, millions of us have our guns, including automatic guns. Yeehaw!!! (Bang Bang)/sarc

11. The youngest was only 3 months old.

Just horrific and sadly typical these days. Will we even pause a moment to mourn these children?

It's just another day.

22. No doubt

And fitting tune, btw.

14. Other reports on this say that there were some inside the home left alive...

Just imagine that trauma.

My thoughts go to those survivors.

My anger is directed at whoever provided this brute with a gun. He was a convicted felon, previously found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm.

15. This is just normal now

We're back in the wild west.

[Oakenshield]

17. In the old west, you usually turned in your gun when you arrived to town.

Funny how they had better sense in that regard than we do today.

16. 8 people dead from an alleged murder-suicide and here's DU's Ghoul Crew!

MOAR GUNZ HATE PLEEZE! Thank the gawds you have these tragedies to unite you.

[countryjake]

18. Yes, maybe these horrific murders can help WA get 594 passed in our state.

And I would hope that Florida investigates where Don Spirit obtained the gun he used. Accountability.

Requiring a background check on any sale or transfer of a firearm might have kept this person, a man already found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, from acquiring the weapon he used to destroy his family.

[flvegan]

21. I hope so as well.

I expect that law enforcement will do just that. And if Mr. Spirit obtained a firearm unlawfully, that law enforcement will sort out how to keep that from happening again. If he obtained it via a loophole that allowed this to happen, I hope to see that loophole closed asap.
