A shooting at a bar in a popular outdoor mall in a Miami suburb early Saturday left two dead and seven injured.
According to local law enforcement, an altercation at a martini bar at the CityPlace Doral complex broke out around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, prompting a security guard working the scene to intervene. A man involved in the altercation subsequently produced a gun and shot and killed the guard.
“You start hearing shots. And it wasn’t one. It was one after another, after another, after another,” recalled Peter Andres Jordan, who was in the bar at the time.
Two police officers then shot and killed the alleged gunman, but not before one officer and six bystanders — five men and a woman, according to police — were wounded in the shootout.
Yeah, so I guess we should just change nothing, right?
/s in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious we are in desperate need of changing gun laws.
No we need to fix our society. No gun laws are magically going to stop the violence. Safety nets, education, removal of for profit prisons, single payer healthcare, and ending the war on drugs will curb more of the violence in our society than any gun law you can dream up.
Yes, I have to agree the problem is not just gun laws, and, in isolation, changes to gun laws would not fix the root of the problem.
Off you go then. Let us know when you’re all done fixing it and you can have your guns back, because all you’re doing here is admitting that the current gun laws are incompatible with the America we live in today.
You’re plan is to put a bandaid on a cancer patient.
Remember 5 seconds ago when you said there wasn’t a problem with legal gun owners? That’s the trouble with just collecting excuses from lobbyists and gun owners without actually thinking for yourself – you end up mashing all your apolgism together in contradictory ways. Looks like you don’t have enough of your cult friends here to bail you out either.
Anyway do you know what doctors actually do with cancer patients? They treat them over a period of months or years, incrementally attacking the cancer bit by bit until no trace of it remains.
But when the tumors turn up in your body, be sure to tell your doctor that letting the cancer spread is better than any solution that isn’t instantly and completely effective.
