5. Let me guess: This was a law abiding, gun totting citizen exercising his inalienable rights

while stomping all of those who were shot.

6. You know NC use to be such a lovely state. Now its gone to the dogs.

11. Not NC. It can happen anywhere, anytime.

There is no pattern to random shootings.

7. More guns...

more violence.

Period.

8. Expect LOTS more of this in NC: thanks to the Repub controlled Legislature

which has been passing bill after bill after bill expanding the places
one can carry concealed weapons, including:

bars, locked cars (right ) on any public school campus, parades, funerals

12. I have to go get a gun

to protect myself from all the gun nuts... seriously, I'm not afraid of criminals it is the crazies that worry me....

(just kidding about buying a gun, I'd shoot myself in the foot, ala Barney)

13. Hubby had two guns--a shotgun for hunting and a replica muzzle loading rifle for

Revolutionary War reenactment stuff he has done with his relatives.

Both were stolen out of our garage last year. He didn't have them locked up--
and an a/c guy who had come to do maintenance asked me if 'those were guns?'.
I told hubby he needed to lock them up...some weeks later he asks me what I did with them.

Duh. The a/c guy probably stole them.

9. Yikes!

I spent a summer working at the hospital in Greenville and used to shop at that Wal-Mart occasionally. Interesting that in any town in NC the police chief would be named Hassan Aden.

10. I've been to that Wal-Mart hundreds of times in my life.

Honestly, given the way things are now, I'm not even surprised that these things are now happening in my hometown. But I guess that's what happens when there's seemingly a major shooting somewhere every week. I guess it's just Greenville's turn.

But no, we certainly don't have a gun problem...

14. Mass shootings have become so common

They don't even attract much coverage any more. What a horrible state of affairs for our nation.
