My 7 year old son and kids from his school were literally there on a summer school field trip on the day it happened. Their bus had just gotten back when it happened! I would've been out of my mind if my kid was there in lockdown and me hearing about it and knowing nothing!

The situation is not about the guns it's about the people using them it's like we would do anything or say anything or blame anything to alleviate the fact that we're the ones responsible see that gun can't shoot itself

The EXIT door is right there ? Why is NOBODY LEAVING

[fantastictoad]

Amazing how calm and especially how quiet everyone is being! Usually in emergency situations you see everyone running, screaming, talking louder than the people next to them, kids going nuts. This group of people did it right. Staying quiet and calm to get through the situation.

That's why you conceal and carry my boy

[michaelangelo]

Talk about “ Fish in a barrel” look at that picture and see how helpless the situation would be. NOW see the same picture and one armed citizen in the sea of unarmed helpless folks and you should be able to understand the concept of carrying a firearm.

[RileeNelson]

This why is stopped going to the mall years ago I’ll continue to do my shopping online

[chiefestrada]

OH HELL NO!!! THATS WHY WE GO NOWHERE IN PUBLIC WITHOUT A FEW IN THE CLIP

[seanwhitebuffalo]

Too many warnings recently at MOA, FF coming soon. Watch...

[stargirl]

Why can't we just live in a safe world 😢

[nikkbee]

This is NOT a safe location talk about a room of sitting ducks gosh so sad they thought they were safe.

[douglashurd]

People are less safe with the gang rivalry crap going indoors there on occasion.

[vegascarpentr]

FUUUCCCKK THAT !! This is why I carry in the mall right here, not just to protect my family but yours also. I hope I'm not the only one with the
Guts to do the right thing and smoke that pile of shit
