Why weep? These shootings are easy to prevent- MOAR GUNS. MOAR GUNS is the answer. MOAR GUNS is always the answer. Instead of two shooters, we could have fifty, as everyone draws their own piece and engages in a firefight.
Hey, who doesn't like Westerns? Imagine how fun it would be, every day would be like starring in a classic Western film.
Gun laws have prevented every shooting that I'm aware of...
Did they prevent this one?

It turns out there was a (legally armed) civilian inside the Walmart. He was the third victim, as he pulled out his firearm to try and intervene.
That's another part of the problem. Many gun owners thinks they're Rambo, or Dirty Harry. You can have a gun, but when you are quietly out living your life, and some criminal is gunning people down, how effective are you going to be with it? It's one thing to shoot at a target or an animal. It's another thing to take out someone who is in a berserk state of mind, and is shooting back at you.
