Mass shooting at KC Chiefs victory parade

[Anonymous]

Saw a headline that said a police officer commented it wasn’t a planned attack.

My guess is someone stepped on the shooter’s Jordans or otherwise disrespected him (inadvertently bumped him…in a crowd), words were exchanged, then shots were fired.

Impulse control. Sooooo many people lack impulse control. It’s literally why assaults happen.

And it’s precisely why people should not be allowed to walk around with guns.

I mean, duh.

Any chance this was radical Islamic terrorism?

Did not see an answer to this.

Was this another coordinated terrorist attack?

No. It might have been an argument that broke out into a gun fight. Although one guy had an AR type gun so it seems possible he came with a pre-planned agenda to kill a specific person or maybe he came ready for a known possibility of a gang fight. But there's no indication that it was terrorism or a planned mass murder.

Gun rights are to deter fascists and prevent control freaks from any ideas.

AR-15s don't work against drones, Bradleys, attack helicopters etc.

Also, "Gun Loving Missouri Good Guys With Guns Fail to Stop Yet Another Mass Shooting" because it's obvious that more guns and more people carrying DOES NOT deter crime or mass shootings in any way, shape or form.

And, yet, it was good guys who tackled the shooter in this instance.
Another headline.... "Criminals determined to kill are successful despite the presence of over 800 law enforcement officers."

Face it..... there are bad people in this world. They will find a way to carry out their evil ways be it with a gun, a knife, or a truck.
I guarantee that the shooters have rap sheets and probably shouldn't have been free to walk the streets.

Sounds like it was an argument between two individuals and the victims were caught in the crossfire. The same thing happens every week in DC but the shooters aren’t usually using military assault weapons.

Good guys WITHOUT guns tackled the shooter. In that crowd, there were probably plenty of "good guys with guns" with pistols in their purses or strapped to their ankles or tucked in their asscracks or wherever else yet not a single one of them stepped up. That "good guys with guns" crap about deterring crime is a total myth that's been sold by the NRA for far too long.

This is the kind of binary thinking that I saw a lot of during the COVID vaccination/mask debates. If gun control doesn't completely eliminate murders, it's not worth doing at all. If vaccinations/masks don't prevent illness, only reduce its prevalence and severity, it's not worth doing at all.

The obvious point is that a person of bad intent can kill more people faster with a gun than with a knife.

In fairness to the good guys with guns (but underscoring the ridiculousness of the "good guys with guns" argument), shooting at the bad guys probably would have caused a lot more collateral damage than tackling the bad guy.

So, if the religious fanatics in America can get enough AR-15s, they can install a theocracy here like they did in Afghanistan. Got it.

Good guys tackled one perp. Most likely a gun free zone. So law abiding good “guys” with guns obeyed the law and criminals didn’t. Commit a crime with a gun mandatory 25 years without parole plus whatever criminal sentence. That will at least send a message and keep those with impulse control issues off the street.

There’s an incident lol this every day, so that works out nicely for you if you never want to talk about gun control.

I had the same reaction. There is never a 48 hour period in the US without a shooting.

If the presence of 800 LEOs ("good guys") isn't enough to deter gun crime, then we are truly living in a lawless time. Expecting "good guys" to bail us out each and every time is simply not realistic. Reducing the number of guns and making it harder to get them is what's needed.

[Anonymous]

if good guys are carrying guns, it just makes it easier for bad guys to bring their guns and blend in. And since the bad guys are nuts and on drugs, you really can't realistically expect them to be afraid of the good guys.
