According to this, currently 20 dead and 30 injured.

Quote:
At least 20 people were killed and 30 injured in a Texas church shooting Sunday morning, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The alleged shooter is dead, and it appears there is no longer an active threat at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, about 40 miles southeast of San Antonio, police told ABC News.
A witness reported seeing a man walk into the church around 11:30 a.m. and begin shooting.
The FBI and ATF are heading to the scene, and at least six people from the church were taken to Connally Memorial Center in nearby Floresville for treatment.
By Sunday afternoon, police had formed a perimeter around the white clapboard church and flooded its grounds with emergency and police vehicles, according to KSAT.

A small group of people were seen clustered together outside the church, an unassuming building with a red door. They were holding hands as tears overtook an attempt to pray, a KSAT reporter said.

Trump tweeted on the shooting from Japan where he is visiting on his Asia tour.
May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2017
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement, "The thoughts and prayers of all Texans are with the people of Sutherland Springs as tragic reports come out of First Baptist Church."
"Please join Angela and me as we pray for those impacted by this horrific shooting,” Paxton said.

Wasn't the last major shooting the Las Vegas one? I know there was the truck attack, was there any other attacks I was missing?

I don't know race is a factor, but I meant "hate crime" in the sense of that its a place of worship having been shot up, it could be antireligious violence.

M surprised that this could happen in Texas of all places. I'd think the open carry people would've stopped it before it went too far. Guess many people wouldn't of thought to bring a gun to church thou

Are you really able to see countless studies from reputable sources ( wiki....lol) and have the stubborness to stick with your patently and anecdotally wrong opinion.

Being as how blatantly obvious it was that the recent Las Vegas massacre was performed(by multiple shooters ov course) for the primary interest ov allowing gun control measures to take hold, i'm surprised that people are'nt questioning this shooting more instead ov denouncing guns. Oh wait, this is the shroomery, the place where many self-pronounced freedom loving individuals come to expose themselves as hypocrites.
What kind ov fucked up age do we live in where in the face ov increased mass shootings, regardless ov the motives behind them, people want to give up their gun rights? It just proves that people are beginning to put more faith in a manipulated system as opposed to individuality. Are we that guilty ov mankind that the guilt extends to ourselves?
Save the 2nd!

I live in a country that had some horrible mass shootings. The government of the time tightened gun control laws quite severely.
No mass shootings since. A massive drop in gun crime.
Look outside of the states for once. There are better ways.

Have you guys ever heard about what mass killings in China are like where it's a death sentence to own a gun? It's pretty much people running around with big knives gutting people. Are we going to ban knives too? What about cars? Also, what's going to stop a savy machinist from just making his own gun in his garage?

Quiet the contrary. More guns means less shootings. No one wants to do anything dumb cause the other person might have a gun. People don't normally shoot for no good reason

Yeah, it's such simple logic thinking that way. I think even if you take the guns away, mass killings like that will still occur because people will get guns if they want them bad enough, or they will use other objects that can kill. It's kind of like the suicide rate among transgender people. It doesn't matter how many laws you pass to promote acceptance and deter discrimination, the suicide rate will still be at around 40%, because there is an underlying problem that is being ignored.

Has it been pointed out yet that a civilian armed with a long gun is the one that stopped the church shooter?
Shot the gunman on the scene causing him to drop his rifle then chased him down and kept a gun on him while he bled out on the side of the road.

Now that is badass. If that other guy didn't have a gun, more people would have died. I'm telling you guys, all you need is a lathe and some steel.. you can make all kinds of guns. Are we going to ban tools and metal?

No mass shootings since. A massive drop in gun crime.
Look outside of the states for once. There are better ways.
your country's murder rate is barely lower than ours. you guys got spooked, gave up your guns, and got no significant benefit. your homicide rate was low already. what is it at now? 1.4 per 100k or some such? big deal.

The church gunman was not a legal gun owner. Court marshaled for domestic violence. Spent 12 months in the brig.

As we know military court is different than civilian, due to this, the shooter was able to purchase guns since he was not a felon.

Yes, but we also know that The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 also places a lifetime ban on possessing a firearm and/or ammunition for those persons who:
have been discharged from the Armed Forced under dishonorable conditions.
So again, he was not a legal gun owner.

Only you could say that. Literally only you could look at the facts, which are the only thing that STOPPED the shooting was legal gun owner and say "Too bad having a gun didn't do anything in this case".

Yeah these types of murders tend to be a drop in the bucket next to regular murders (let alone traffic "accidents" or whatever), doesn't make a lot of sense to frame big policy decisions around them. As with terrorism, the hype when it does happen is totally disproportionate to the risk.
That could change though I guess. A terrorist attack in which, say, 100-1000 well-armed shooters are spread out all over a major city could result in a huge death toll. My hunch is that people willing to die for the cause are in shorter supply than has been suggested though.

We are in the school of hard knocks. God deeply cares about the tragedies unfolding, if anything, through us, but we're supposed to learn here and this is how we learn. Either we create a paradise or we dig our own grave and let the next species take over.

Free will dictates that for one to have the free will to murder, another has to be murdered against their will.
The structure of society and I dare say our own thought processes are to blame. The animal dna in you see’s others as.. others. On the individual level as well as international level, religious level, political level, legal shit level.
Until people retrain their thoughts, further separation will occur and more sick shit will happen, because it’s a sickness.

It’s like this... on an animal level, eyes pointing forward is a real good physical trait, for predators. Binocular vision etc. But there seem to be a downfall when that animal has a really complex brain and lives in a massively over blown social population. It’s like this tunnel vision sort of thing. All that aim in those eyes, all those factors in that society, and so much brain it’s hard to keep track of (and considering the subconscious, it’s impossible to keep track of).
Add those up and you have a receipe for disaster. It’s almost like you have a really good predator that’s half blacked out. Shit’s going to happen. Look at people’s bodies....consider the range of physical health comparable to mental health..... see what I’m saying?
Also consider that some people are just ‘bad’. Not a whole lot of serial killers use guns. Look at their minds..
Guns are not the problem.

He had body armor and just murdered 26 people (attempted to kill a lot more than that) you really think he was just gonna give up and stop? I have never once said it would prevent shootings. I think it's kind of idiotic to think it will, these people already know there's a good chance they'll die and they do it anyways, so more armed people isn't really going to prevent much of anything. The point is having the ability to stop them and prevent further killings when they start shooting.

you're right about this time. The only thing that stopped the bad guy was the fact that he had already finished spraying down the inside of the church. The good guy with a gun did help keep the bad guy from getting away though. What about that random pick-up driver though?

We have a genius right here folks.

Ive actually been secretly in favor of strict gun control anyway. Jt will make the black market better. All the guns ive owned were black market, bought off of some really shady people, probably stolen from some old white dudes car's glove box.
The re-industrial revolution is coming. At home manufacturing is going to be a thing soon. There will be people really into that kind of stuff operating underground gunsmithing businesses.
Gun regulations are going to be the best shot in the foot the government ever did.

Hello fully automatic ghost guns!
It really can't get any easier then it is now. My old boss had 30+ automatic weapons basically all sourced illegally.
Not sure how people building their own and selling them would be worse on any level.
We live in a place were cold medicine purchases are more scrutinized then gun purchases...

guns are expensive. the machines necessary to make infinite numbers of your own aren't that much more than one high-quality rifle. buy a decent 3-d printer and one of those purpose built CNCs for making AR receivers and you could probably crank out 30/day

What about felons. They can't just go buy one. All my friends rely on the black market.
What about not wanting to be registered to the gun. I would rather own one stolen with filed off numbers than walk into Cabela's

You can be pro gun or anti gun, but I think its safe to say that just about anyone in that church if they did have a gun would attempt taking him out.

Just stop with this ridiculous fantasy you people have. The problem isn't that you don't have enough guns, it that you have too many. And I'm using you because people like you are the problem and it's about time we stop being politically correct about it.
If this stupid good guy theory didn't work in a church in Texas, where you are allow to carry, it's a failure. If you say it's a success because it could have been worse you have a perverted idea of success. Its a delusion.

Seriously, what is the moral obligation of someone that has the means to stop a shooting? Is a good guy with a gun responsible for letting people die if he can't aim straight or is too scared to try?

Yes. Just like you can't walk past a person in cardiac arrest if you have CPR training. Aim not so much but trying yes. Aim would be negligence of competency with a firearm.

Really? Having exactly one fewer gun would have completely prevented this shooting.

Maybe they weren't in a position to pull their weapon, maybe they had to retrieve it from somewhere first, we don't know. At the very least if they had let him escape after the shooting, police lives would be on the line. There's also the very real possibility they could've confronted him in public and he could've taken hostages or people could've got killed in the crossfire. The simple fact is someone like that has no regard for life and needs to be stopped sooner rather than later.
I don't know what image you have built up in your head of gun owners, but most of us are not stupid. I'm not going to go reaching for a gun when someone has one pointed right in my face. Not unless I believe he is about to shoot and it's my last opportunity to defend myself. I would try and wait until I had the advantage, like with his back turned to me.

The gun that ended it was a rifle so chances are the guy didn't bring it in the church with him and needed to retrieve it.
Now If everyone in the church besides the children had a mandatory sidearm the shooter would have stayed home.
Not to many people try mass shootings at places full of armed people. I would say most mass shootings are specifically chosen because they're fish in a barrel circumstances.

We have so many opportunities in this country for this good guy theory to work and the best example we now have of a good guy firing back is a shooting where 26 people died. That's pathetic.

Why don't we try mandatory sidearms.
Everyone owns knives no knife fights regularly

Not to many people try mass shootings at places full of armed people. I would say most mass shootings are specifically chosen because they're fish in a barrel circumstances.
Mandatory fire arm? So much for freedom. I assume you are being facetious. Mandate gun possession so the gun nuts right to own a weapon of mass destruction isnt threatened. Good lord, what is wrong with people. (Just in case you aren't being facetious)
We live in a country with more guns than people. If the good guy theory hasn't worked at this point, it never will.

The point is having the ability to stop them and prevent further killings when they start shooting.
Just stop with this ridiculous fantasy you people have. The problem isn't that you don't have enough guns, it that you have too many. And I'm using you because people like you are the problem and it's about time we stop being politically correct about it.
If this stupid good guy theory didn't work in a church in Texas, where you are allow to carry, it's a failure. If you say it's a success because it could have been worse you have a perverted idea of success. Its a delusion.
"The problem isn't that you don't have enough guns, it that you have too many"
How would having less guns avoided this shooting?
Really? Having exactly one fewer gun would have completely prevented this shooting.
Really, destroying my gun on Saturday would have prevented this shooting on Sunday?

Again I don't know what image you have built up in your head. You keep trying to apply your imagination to me and real life. That's not going to work. Your ideas of how the real world works are stupid. Having a gun doesn't make you a superhero. There's no point in even arguing/debating this shit with you because of the ridiculousness you have built up in your head. Like every person who is carrying a gun is supposed to come swooping in with the cape and everything, maybe even a little cape for the gun. Then they're somehow supposed to shoot and stop this guy from ever getting the shot off, after arriving on the scene having heard the first shot. Because to you, that's the only thing that would justify civilians carrying guns.

Who's to say gun ownership for self defense hasn't worked? It does work, just because there are instances were it doesn't work doesn't mean it's not an effective form of self defense.

151,600 people die each day on average, and for some reason the measly 20-30 people who die in occasional attacks are worth talking about for weeks after as millions upon millions of others die in the background without anyone caring
like really people whats the point of caring extra special amounts for some random texan christians? they were prolly mostly a-holes anyway

Of course it works. You ignore the other side of the equation where it doesn't work. Where owning a gun makes things worse. Where you end up getting in a gun fight and dying when all the attacker wanted was your wallet. When your kid shoots himself in the head. When you have an argument with your wife and you shoot her in a moment of rate.
Gun owners are more likely to be murdrred than non-gun owners. The sense of security from a gun is delusional.

So if a cop is off duty but present at a mass shooting he would not be able to be a hero. Only guns that show up 5-15 minutes later are effective.
Or cops are magic.

6,000 people die in the US every day, not 151,000. Most of those are people dying because they are old. They are unpreventable and not significant to this topic. Of that number, maybe 1.000 deaths are premature from disease, accident, suicide, etc. 100 die from gun shot every day, so that is 10% of preventable deaths are caused by a firearm.
firearms are the NUMBER ONE cause of death for people under the age of 24. You think that is insignificant? The deaths of dozens of young people are far more significant than the thousands of old people who die because their time is up. Everyone dies eventually. It's the preventable deaths that need to be addressed.

Today on Day 310 of 2017, there have been 307 mass shootings in the US
Will the number of mass shootings overcome the number of days before the year is out?
Meanwhile in Japan, the number of people shot in Japan this year is 2. People. At all.

This was Saturday.
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/11/05/les-robbery-retired-nypd-officer/Quote:
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A retired NYPD officer said he had his gun stolen when he tried to intervene during an attempted robbery on the Lower East Side this weekend.
Police were called around 5 a.m. Saturday to 130 Eldridge St. for a report of an attempted robbery. At the scene, they found the retired officer on the ground with cuts to his face and complaining about pain to his body, police said.
Police learned the retired officer was at the Eldridge Street address when he heard about a possible robbery outside. He identified himself as an officer and got into a fight with one of the suspects, police said.
The retired officer was punched in the face and body during the struggle, police said. The retired officer’s gun fell out of its holster, and the suspect picked it up and took it, police said.
Good guy eh? . . .

Why should I give up a right that I have if I'm not going to use that right to step on other people's rights? I have the right to drive a car, but I could also drive through a crowd of people. Should we ban cars because people can use them as deadly weapons? This is a serious question. Why does your logic apply to one tool but not others?

Why wouldn't we be able to get rid of those guns. Congress could outlaw pretty much every gun but handguns, single shot rifles and shot guns. There is no right to own a semiautomatic weapon and they are banned in states like New York.

You weren't there man, you don't know what it's like to duck behind shit while someone is rapidly firing a gun in a building. That would be very disorienting. Your ears would be ringing, then you have to grab your gun and make sure you can take a shot without being shot yourself.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few stories where shootings were prevented by someone who had a firearm. But that doesn't get much publicity because a massacre didn't happen.

My drugs are banned.

Come on qman, there is a difference between a mass shooting and a suicide.
It is your right to take your life and I'm all for physician assisted suicide as a basic human right, but to kill another is quite another matter.

The government could ban porn and take the internet down and make filming pornography illegal.
There's still enough to go around for days. And people would still produce it. And it would be worth more.
So again if Congress bans guns big fucking deal lol.

they wont ban any of the sort.
too much money in these industries. also, if they did ban guns the military contracts would skyrocket because they wont have the other people to offset the income.
it may be nice for some to think that guns will go away.. its just not realistic. the US is too far gone for it to work.
and i can verify the above statement. look at this thread right here or ANY of the shooting threads. even in this micro climate, there is no middle ground when it comes to firearms.. everybody thinks they have the perfect answer, when it all reality, they dont.

Will the number of mass shootings overcome the number of days before the year is out?
Meanwhile in Japan, the number of people shot in Japan this year is 2. People. At all.
Does it really matter to you how people suicide themselves? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_Japan
Come on qman, there is a difference between a mass shooting and a suicide.
It is your right to take your life and I'm all for physician assisted suicide as a basic human right, but to kill another is quite another matter.
My point is that most of the gun deaths in the US are from suicide, if guns were more available in Japan, what do you think would be the case? A very high rate of gun deaths.

You can't really go door-to-door to confiscate firearms because first off people will cache them off their property so they are armed to the teeth again the moment the fed is round the corner and secondly, more importantly, I think thousands or tens of thousands of gun owhers would take a stand and you'd have a very severe nationwide civil unrest on your hands.

Gun deaths are not created equal. Suicides are sort of acceptable, homicides are not.

Shroomslip said: He had body armor and just murdered 26 people (attempted to kill a lot more than that) you really think he was just gonna give up and stop? I have never once said it would prevent shootings. I think it's kind of idiotic to think it will, these people already know there's a good chance they'll die and they do it anyways, so more armed people isn't really going to prevent much of anything. The point is having the ability to stop them and prevent further killings when they start shooting.
Just stop with this ridiculous fantasy you people have. The problem isn't that you don't have enough guns, it that you have too many. And I'm using you because people like you are the problem and it's about time we stop being politically correct about it.
If this stupid good guy theory didn't work in a church in Texas, where you are allow to carry, it's a failure. If you say it's a success because it could have been worse you have a perverted idea of success. Its a delusion.
It's a delusion to think that getting rid of guns would prevent things like this. Have you ever shot a gun koods? Did you grow up with guns? Why should I give up a right that I have if I'm not going to use that right to step on other people's rights? I have the right to drive a car, but I could also drive through a crowd of people. Should we ban cars because people can use them as deadly weapons? This is a serious question. Why does your logic apply to one tool but not others?
I have a marksmanship certificate from the NRA, so yes I have shot a gun before.

Gun owners always say they are law abiding. If the law says they must surrender their guns, they will abide by the law. If they don't, Throw them in jail like any other criminal.

i'm more afraid of people that think they need guns for protection outside in public then people who don't
people + guns = more deaths it doesn't matter if theyre GOOD or not they're outside with guns for christsakes even a by stander is a victem if they start firing you know how many gun point robberies there are in states where there are no guns, next to none in states with guns they're a part of daily life

Japan is also pretty much ethnically pure too. Are you saying that if we have a country of only white people, the shootings will stop? Lol I'm sorry, just pushing buttons at this point.

That logic can be applied to literally everything. By definition, outlaws break the law, but you guys somehow think that is some brilliant insight,
If you outlaw murder, only outlaws will murder. so we shouldn't outlaw murder?

if u wanna argue semantics or ur broken logic the overwhelming majority of gun owners arent murderers or even irresponsible gun owners dont let a bad apple spoil the bunch because ur scared of guns koods. if u outlaw guns u make alot of well meaning law abiding people criminals and go against the constitution. smae thing could be said with drugs or what have u.

Buying a gun causes no victim. Buying a prostitute does. See the difference?
So you want to ban actions that are victimless. Sounds like tyranny

Buying a hitman Vs Buying a gun.
If they knew you were buying a gun to do murder they're not going to let you. Same thing with truck rentals.

You're wrong on both counts.
Buying a gun can result in a victim if that gun is used to commit a crime or accidentally shoots your daughter in her head.
Buying a prostitute can victimize the prostitute.
There are plenty of guns that don't ever victimize anyone and plenty of prostitutes that are not victims.
The world is not black and white, so stop acting like it is.

Public policy is about doing things that improve societal outcomes. Guns have a negative effect in society. Owning a gun has worse outcomes for gun owners and society as a whole. Our laws should reflect that.

Unlike chiefmstrdiesel, who thinks gun ownership is evil, I think it is stupid.
There are some people who need guns. Most gun owners don't. They are pussies who have very poor risk assessment skills.

Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying because you talk like a 13 year old girl texting her BFF.
If guns merely throw stones, then let's ban guns and give everyone a bag of stones.

In 1982 the city of Kennesaw Georgia passed a law making gun ownership mandatory for head of households.
Nelson, Georgia Nucla, Colorado Gun Barrel City, Texas
and Virgin, Utah all have similar laws.

Nope. Never owned a gun. Don't know anyone who owns a gun. Never seen a handgun in my entire life except for those worn by cops. Most people around here don't have guns.
When I was 12 I went to summer camp that had a rifle range. I was pretty fucking good and earned a marksmanship award. That is the totality of my experience with guns.
I lived in southeast and northeast DC in the mid 90s when there were 500 murders a year in the city. Never saw a gun. Never needed a gun. Never wanted a gun. Never was a victim of any crime except when my car was stolen in a towing scam operated by DC police officers.

Was he really reloading? Reports are that nearly everyone in the church had already been shot
I'm not going to argue that he didn't prevent more killings. My argument is that stopping someone after he's already killed 26 and shot 20 more non fatally is not a "good guy theory" success story.

Look outside of the states for once. There are better ways.
your country's murder rate is barely lower than ours. you guys got spooked, gave up your guns, and got no significant benefit. your homicide rate was low already. what is it at now? 1.4 per 100k or some such? big deal.

Not sure how 1.4 is barely lower than 4.8.
4.8 is 442% larger than 1.4
If the US had australias murder rate, there would be 12,500 fewer homicides in the US per year.
Ballsalsa really missed the mark on that one.

koods said: So what's the point?
We have so many opportunities in this country for this good guy theory to work and the best example we now have of a good guy firing back is a shooting where 26 people died. That's pathetic.
Most citizens don't carry guns. As far as the gun owners go, most keep it at home rather than carry it. Even here in Tennessee, where they in the recent past loosened gun laws and now allow anyone without a felony to carry a pistol inside their car legally (but you still need a license to carry it on you on foot or take it outside of your car in public), the majority of people don't carry guns. Almost all the shooting deaths here are criminals doing really shitty robberies. There was an insane guy who shot up a church a couple months ago here though, but some usher ran out and got his pistol from his car and held the guy at gunpoint until the cops showed up. Most people can't handle cars though, so I don't know if everyone needs a gun. Maybe everyone does, but they also just need safety training. That's what we really need though, is driver safety courses for adults. Shitty drivers are the most dangerous group in the country and take more lives than anyone, even crack dealers. Crack dealers are a cute threat compared to the sheer numbers that shitty drivers put up.

Id rather have daily mass shootings than the only armed people being law enforcement
Well then. Congratulations.

That’s what I read. Apparently there are 11 criteria that disqualify someone from buying a gun, and this guy had two of them (having served more than a year in prison, and having been convicted of a domestic violence charge). Had the USAF properly filed his discharge info (it was a bad conduct discharge), he wouldn’t have been able to buy these guns.
Feels to me like the people in charge of this kind of thing aren’t doing enough to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them.

My fear is if they dropped the ball with him, how many more out there already have their weapon? This is a serious problem and I am as gung ho second amendment as they come. Worrisome for sure.
I think it's finally time to buy that ak-47 I've been looking into.

OK, so miles traveled increased relative to fatalities. That's great about the miles traveled I guess, but aren't per-capita numbers more pertinent to actual risk?
If gun murders go up this year and ammunition consumed goes up even more, is that a net win? Murders per million rounds fired will have gone down.

Same with buying a car or an axe you stubborn mofo.
It doesn't matter who needs a gun and who doesn't. That's irrelevant. What matters is that American citizens have the right to own a gun and can if they want to. I agree with you to a degree, nobody really needs a fully automatic weapon or a bazooka. What's wrong with having a gun just in case shit hits the fan? Should we ban apocalypse prepping too because people deem it unnecessary? People can do what they want, they just can't impede on the rights of others. It's pretty simple.

speaking of per capita numbers, the U.S. homicide rate sits just under 4/100,000pop/year. What do you think would be the best case scenario were we to ban firearms outright?(in terms of per capita homicides)

I had to mow mad lawns and wash mad cars around my neighborhood so I could afford my own line and my own earthlink account.
