Does anybody wonder how 'gun-free' zones, such as schools and post-offices are supposed to prevent these kinds of tragedies when they're the targets of such horrible slaughters while there's never been a shooting spree at an NRA conventio?

What I just read at CNN.com ssays they believe there are two gunmen, and the shootings occurred at two different locations.

Guess we'll have to see how it plays out. 20 dead and as many hospitalized with wounds is a pretty good casualty count for even 2 gunmen.

I heard 21, but that might include the gunman.

I don't get why people do things like this.

Pffft, don't you know? Every American should be able to call up the police for help if they ever need it. No one needs to own or tot a firearm to ensure their safety. I mean, if any of the students or faculty were allowed to carry guns their be like 500 dead now instead of just 20.

:rolleyes:

It says they (police) think there's a second gunman and are searching for him.

No its 32. it was 22 a few hours ago though. the AP seems slow at updating it though.

http://www.foxnews.com/ Figured the headline probably clears it up.

I was watching the news during lunch. Apparently this is the deadliest shooting incident of all time in the U.S.

Strangly there is still no description of the shooter yet.

Geeezzzzzz, get rid of gun free zones!

For all you liberal idiots, that doesn't mean everyone must or will carry a gun.
It means the bad guys know 'someone' might be and I can prove it reduces crime. In this case it would have saved some lives.

I heard a guy walked into a chuch and tried this once, and a parishioner shot back and killed the guy. Otherwise that could have been the deadliest.
