Guy drove through the streets shooting .

Internet is already taking our guns.

The Dem candidates are loving this even though they claim to be devastated.

Actually there were 2 mass shootings in the past 24 hours. Odessa, and Alabama.

https://www.citizenfreepress.com/br...labama-football-shooting-raw-video-of-attack/

I predict the media won't talk about Alabama. Because it's a 17 year old black boy, and nobody was killed. That boy was arrested. Of course we'll never hear if he was on Ritalin.

In Odessa, the police dealt with it properly The shooter has been killed by police. 3 police wounded, several more citizens and several dead. 30 year old? Stole a USPS van. The story is insane. And I'll ask the same question: was that guy ever on mind-altering drugs?

I pay little attention to these things,,,I can't do anything about it,just talk and what good does that do,,,,until it hits close to home I will carry on like nothing is going on,,,,

in the end the left will win and ban most if not all my toys,,all I can really do is hope I don't live to see it

Apparently the state police had pulled him over for failing to signal a left turn. He pulled a rifle & fired at them through his back window.

I guess we'll have to wait to see if he was baiting the police. One of the two officers in the squad car were injured. From there he took off and started randomly shooting people. 5 dead. 7 in critical condition. 20 or 21 injured.

I'm guessing that he didn't plan this. If he wanted to take out the cops, he would have tried to finish them there. I'll make some other predictions. 1: liberal who hated Trump. He was either high on something or spent years on Ritalin or other mind-altering drugs, or possibly had mental problems. Or possibly he was a drug runner, or some sort of criminal lifestyle. But something triggered him to make these horrific choices (TDS?).

An observation. Shooting while driving can be a very effective way of maximizing damage. Think about it, most people won't hear the gunfire. The gunman is mobile & able to get to the most people quickly. Police are literally chasing a moving target. Police need to be much more careful with what's behind the gunman (other vehicles, pedestrians...).

I'm watching the Sunday morning shows. I'm still (not) surprised that they have not even whispered about the high school shooting where 10 were shot. They are talking more about cow farts.

The Alabama one was at the end of a football game in Mobile .

 

[TexasFreedom]

Updates are trickling out. The guy did use an AR-15. He also had a felony past, so he should not have been able to own that gun. We'll see how he got it...

But here would be the perfect cherry on top. What if that gun came from Obama's "Fast & Furious " program? It didn't, I'm not starting a rumor. But just imagine if it did. One of those weapons has already killed a border patrol agent a few years ago. Imagine if this were also tied to Obama.

I'm sure the screams for more laws will continue. But how will 8 rather than 5 laws (making up numbers) being broken matter? It was illegal for him to have that gun. It was illegal for him to shoot police. It was illegal for him to leave the original traffic stop. It was illegal for him to shoot people as he drove. If you can't use a phone when driving, I'm pretty sure you can't fire weapons while driving. The only legal thing in that entire event was when the police legally killed the wack-job. Thank you Mr. Officer.

I read in more than one place, he had a BETO bumper sticker.

 

[Psalm7]

He had just been fired from a truck driving job before being pulled over in the traffic stop .

 

[TexasFreedom]

I wonder (sarcasm) if the news will talk about this guy. He was a registered democrat. Like Robin said, he had a BETO sticker on his car. He tried to buy a gun & was refused due to a criminal history (they're still trying to figure out how he got the one he used). He obviously was emotionally unstable. He had called 911 and the FBI in the minutes before the shooting started. His place was 'barely livable'. And he was a member of Antifa.

Isn't every last bit of that your typical leftie? When will we declare Antifa a terrorist organization?

Wal-Mart to stop selling ammo for semi-automatics.

Do they not understand that most of their customers are middle to lower class citizens who love their guns and Bibles? I rarely go there, but I certainly will put them on the bottom of my list.

It's always been said that if the Left can't take our guns, they will make it impossible to get the ammo for them.

Did we learn nothing from the dark days of obumer? Remember the ammo shortages of those terrible years? If you haven't stocked up by now, better get in line.

 

[tmttactical]

You have been warned --- Start stocking up and learn to reload, as those will be the last components available when the gun / ammo controls start kicking in.

 

[user 7704]

The sales clerk said he can't keep 22LR or another caliber , I can't remember.

One guy had just come in and bought the last case of a caliber I had never heard.

He said it wasn't as bad as Obama, but it's a steady flow of people stocking up. I bought a larger amount than I usually do. I don't think my husband was thrilled with his gift. He told me he wanted one so I bought it.

I took 3 shots and hit dead center every time. Beginners luck.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I started stocking up on ammo and reloading components since just before the Republicans gave us obuma. I thought we were somewhat safe with Trump. This teachs us to never let our guard down. The Left is always looking for ways to exploit any diaster, and the weak minded Repubs will always roll over for them.
Remember to join the NRA.

At this point its a private company issue not political parties . This will not be good for a company that is based in small towns and predominantly rural States .

Exactly, as I previously stated, their main customers are middle to low income hunters and Bible lovers.

I can see their stocks taking a huge dip this quarter.

 

[Mountain trapper]

I have no reason to ever step foot in Walmart again. The nearest Walmart is over 100 miles away anyway.

 

[Psalm7]

I guess The Sportsman's Guide and a couple other online stores will start getting My ammo orders now . Most of the Gun Shops and Tactical Shops price their ammo a bit to high . Bad call by WM .

 

[tmttactical]

It was a bad call as it was not needed. They could have just kept quite and continued on. I usually shop at Wally World once a month. That is no over. I will find a different supplier. Anybody know who else is a low priced super market chain?

That’s the problem, there really isn’t anyone else. Many of these small towns,Walmart is the only store.

Seriously? Walmart is over 100 miles from my house. And in that distance there's 3 towns and at least a half dozen other grocery stores to choose from. I never did go to Walmart very often, now I'll never go there.

Seriously.. it is at least down in the south. The mentality is, if you can’t get it Walmart, you can’t get it. Walmart is the life line of small towns. I do believe it is a part of their marketing strategy.
I live near Dallas, so there’s many retail options. My brother lives in a rural town and they make their Walmart trip weekly. In the larger towns, Walmart places a store about 7 miles from one another. They have it in their marketing strategy that 7 miles is about the max distance people are willing to travel to shop for common items found at Walmart.

I haven't spent much time in the south so I'll take your word for it. In my area I'm about 20 miles from town (500 pop) and there's one store in the county, population 2,500. The nearest Walmart to the south of me is around 100 miles. The next nearest Walmart is to the north about 150 miles. I'm not sure what you consider a small town but the two Walmarts here are in towns of around 8,000. Most towns here are 300-1500 population and all these towns have grocery stores. Fortunately we have a low enough population density to keep Walmart out of most areas in my State.

I travel several times on vacation to Northern California, Oregon, and Washington state. I only saw one Walmart in Washington. There were far more local businesses. I really admired that when I visited. Down here, it is one big box store after another. Many shopping centers have the same stores clustered together. It’s monotonous and boring. The town I live in has 3 Walmart stores.

 

[TexasFreedom]

Just follow the money. How often do you see someone buying ammo at Walmart? Go, look. Be around the aisle for 5 minutes & count the number of people walking off with ammo. Go down any other aisle and watch it for 5 minutes.

The market is changing. Walmart has done really well for a long time, but online sales are really hurting them. So they need to figure out ways to change to adapt. Remove stuff that doesn't sell well and is less profitable and get other better selling stuff. It also reduces their liability, and that's a huge cost. So this is a business decision. We may not like it, but every choice will have supporters and retractors.

 

[DrHenley]

They are following in the footsteps of Sears and KMart.

Now it's Kroger. We do shop there.
