Another shooting in Texas, 5 dead

More thoughts and prayers should do the trick.

 

Armed guards at every house?

 

And make Mexico pay for it

 

Well I usually hear 3 things. You pick

1. Thoughts and prayers
2. A good guy with a gun
3. Mental health

 

More to the story
Five people are dead after being shot in a Texas home by a suspect armed with an AR-15 style rifle in a horrific series of "execution style" shootings, police said.

A manhunt is currently underway for the suspect, identified by police as 39-year-old Francisco Oropeza, according to ABC station KTRK in Houston.



5 dead in Texas 'execution-style' shooting, suspect armed with AR-15 is on the loose

 

He killed an 8 year old too.

Neighbors- So tragic.

Always call cops first

Repeal 2A

Reality- gun buy backs;

want a weapon? must attend an all-day class, pass a written test, and achieve at least 95% accuracy during a shooting-range test

Ban automatic weapons

Require all GOP congressmen to go to funerals of dead children who are killed by weapons

If convicted of any crime of violence- cant be near a gun at all

 

More guns!

"It's me Gary, Stop!"

“… shooting an AR-15 outside on his front porch. That's when neighbors asked Oropeza to be quiet because they had a baby who was trying to sleep…

Oropeza was agitated by the request and began shooting inside a home with 10 people present, according to deputies…..five people are dead, including an 8-year-old.”

The republicans answer to the question is “More guns!”

 

We don’t need to repeal the 2nd Amendment, we just need to stop the abuse of it. Yes there are laws already in place, but do those laws have any teeth, or is there an unwillingness by law enforcement to charge abusers? My guess is no to both.

 

I welcome our pro-gun fellow gators to opine on this thread. I will try to summarize your argument and name it after you so that future innocent death tragedy threads can be more succinct. But please, only one trope per poster.

Be immortalized!

 

They shoulda just shot him instead of asking him to stop shooting.

 

Think about how much crime would decline next year if everybody just shot each other this year! It's brilliant. So many good guys with guns!

 

probably woke that baby up too.

Ts & Ps for shithole America

 

That's Brant Peacher (former FSU baseball player) and his fishing channel. I'm 99% sure this was another of his goofy clickbait videos. He does have some really good fishing on his channel though.

 

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll add a note to the post that Peacher is known to hoax.

A quick internet search yields no info whether it was a hoax.

"Gary Syndrome"

 

Another tightknit community erupts in violence.

 

Considering the media is calling him a Mexican National I'm curious if he legally owned the gun. I would assume Mexican National means just that, not a person of dual nationality.

 

There’s a lot of people I’d like to shoot if no one was looking. I tamp down my homicidal urges by not owning a gun which is easy because I’m not perpetually terrified.
