That incident, like the Mollie Tibbetts murder, is a clear case of Toxic Masculinity. [sarcasm]

But anytime a firearm is used in the commision of a crime, it is the NRA's fault, and it is okay to politicize the incident in push a political agenda to ban firearms.

A full size 4x4 truck would have been cheaper and cause more damage, but I guess when you are that angry you will use what you have.

We are fortunate that this did not occur over a video game where there are guns in the game.

This is more a reflection of gaming communities and their poor behavior, than anything to do with guns. This could have occurred with knives. In the past there have been fist fights and stuff at video game tournaments, just doesn't make big enough news unless people die.

Oh, and just so no one has to wonder, it was a "gun free zone". Sure it was. At least for the victims (aka "sitting ducks" or "fish in a barrel").

From Joe Huffman's blog at http://blog.joehuffman.org/2018/08/26/no-surprise-2/

No surprise

Posted on August 26, 2018 by Joe

The site of the mass shooting in Jacksonville today has this in it’s rules of conduct:

a. The commission of any act defined by Federal, State or local ordinances as a criminal act is prohibited. These include, but are not limited to: graffiti, property damage, defacing, damaging or destroying any real or personal property, etc.

b. Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property

c. Using or possessing fireworks is prohibited

A mass shooting in a “gun free zone”. This comes as no surprise. It is to be expected. Most people will be hard pressed to name a mass shooting that doesn’t occur in a “gun free zone”.

Of course this won’t stop the anti-gun people from demanding the entire country be turned into a gun free zone.

Well, that “safe zone” didn’t stop the shooter from breaking laws... shocking.

MA has strict gun laws also.  So how did he get his legally owned gun and cross state lines?  I think for pistols they have a 10lbs trigger requirement.

Jacksonville shooting “suspecf” underwent psychiatric treatment... another shocker

ETA - He was hospitalized as a teen for psychiatric treatment and prescribed anti-psychotics.

“Jacksonville gaming tournament shooter had been hospitalized for mental illness, documents show”

As expected, no fake news coverage anymore.  The shooting disappeared from my news feeds on AOL, Yahoo, CNN.
