When the 2nd amendment is stolen from you, we all become victims. Criminals will never follow the law.

Don't blame guns. It is always the person committing the crime, not the gun.

If I had a mack 10 with a silencer and Kevlar shirt I would have helped out.

[jamesdolan]

Not help out. Is that how we are in Hawaii? A bunch of cowards. Imagine if someone in your family's life could have been saved but instead there's are bunch of good witnesses. Weak.

Shooter will be booked and held in OCCC for 6 months pre trial.

Sadly, now days it’s better to call police and tell them what’s happening so they can respond.

Especially, if you have your family with you.

Support your local police.
