So sick of gun violence. When will sense and reason win out over "my right to bear arms"?

OK - but what about the innocent hunters and target shooters?

They didn't do anything wrong.

What happens to them?

Does anyone know if this is being considered a possible terrorist act? I know this may offend some, but the photo of the shooter looked like a muslim.

The article describes him as Hispanic.

I assume you mean he looks Arab. Given that Muslim is a descriptor of religion and could be a person of any race.

They can continue living their lives, unlike the dead people.

They get a special license or a new hobby.

Let them hunt with bows or black powder rifles, make it a real sport with skill.

Stop with the gun talk. This is most likely a mental health problem. A misogyny problem (perhaps, since 4 women killed in the makeup area, plus two men). It's a violence problem.
We need to fix our society and how we care about people. Why are so many young men troubled these days? Why aren't they hopeful and excited about their future?

^me again. And stop with the Muslim talk.
Guns and radical Muslims (which we dint know anything about in this case...) are factors. But many societies have both, and they do alright. Im telling you, guns are easy, but someone with an idea and nothing to lose will find another way. (And yes, there are common sense gun measures that can be made too. Go right ahead congress and local authorities. Close the gun show loophole, get the fbi to follow up on background checks, give tougher penalties for straw buyers, for example.)

Has he been caught?

And why is it always a "he?"

I don't think anyone is lobbying to take away hunting rifles.
