Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

another shooting at a festival in the states ;-(

Post by phuketrichard »

I dont believe in more gun control, but really, something needs to be done

Driver found dead after authorities converged on van linked to deadly Monterey Park shooting, reports say: Live updates
MONTEREY PARK, Calif. – The man suspected of killing 10 people in a shooting barrage amid Lunar New Year festivities in Southern California appears to have been found dead, according to reports.

Police in tactical gear converged on a white van Sunday in a Torrance parking lot, about 22 miles southwest of where the Saturday night attack took place in a Monterey Park dance studio, after an hours-long manhunt for the gunman. Police had established a link between the suspect, whose photos were released earlier in the day, and a white van.

The thing that needs to be done is obviously gun control…

Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.

RIP to the victims.

I pray that the USA sees sense one day.

Well, there's a clue.

Stop giving guns to people, or, at least, don't let people have guns.
People with no guns can't kill other people.


But in the meantime, thought and prayers will have to do.

its a moot point, guns in America will never, repeat, never be outlawed, so time to move on from that and figure out something else

Lets try and Outlaw alcohol as well>>>

*Every year, more than 15,000 people are killed as a result of drunk driving.
*Every day, an average of 30 individuals die in drunk driving incidents.
*Someone is killed in a drunk driving accident every 50 minutes.
*In the U.S., 25% of traffic-related deaths are caused by driving under the influence (DUI).
*There were 1 million DUI convictions in the United States among driving-related offenses.
*Every two minutes, someone is hurt in a drunk driving accident.

Dam just saw the shooter was 72 years old::: what drove him at that age to go out an murder innocent people

Data is for 2020. All deaths by motor vehicle and all deaths by firearms are about the same.
Poisoning and drugs are both double firearms deaths.

Sorry but your post makes no sense. On one hand you say you don’t believe in more gun control, even though many states have little or no gun control laws at all, then on the other hand you say something needs to be done.

What should be done? Just more thoughts and prayers? More RIP’s? That seems to be helping the situation.
