The response is predictable. Calls for mass gun confiscation from non-violent citizens, while not taking them from violent criminals. Blaming it on Trump.

Reporter tweeted FBI confirmed no shooting. Nothing on scanner indicates active incident. Fake news and irresponsible to put this out.

A big knife?
A pointed stick?
A handful of lingonberries?

I’ll post my tinfoil hat theory from another thread:

It’s awfully interesting that these ‘white supremacist’ shootings seemingly designed to start ‘helter skelter’ begin around the time china starts suffering financially from the tariffs/trade war.

If the US were involved in a civil war...who would be there to stop china from essentially colonizing the rest of the planet. And functioning as leftist invited ‘peacekeepers’ in CONUS to quell any remaining righties and/or Christians?

“This anti-American rag has been a scourge for decades.”

Too true but it has color! What a POS DNC rag.

You know, now that I think about it - this is likely the work of antifa jerks on Twitter.
They’ve been making noise about calling “Active shooter” on legal carriers and “Terrorist activity” on people wearing MAGA hats.

Well, could’ve had a man with no arms show up. So, take what you can get.

“Going to be a daily thing until Trump is deposed.

This is Antifa leftist totalitarian fascists.

Bet on it.

Leftists in Deep State are working hard.”

I didn’t want to verbalize this because it might be getting into tin-foil territory, but doesn’t it seem a little too coincidental that there are 3 mass shootings in a little over a week after the mueller testimony turned out to be a bust?

Hoax or a nervous Nellie were the first two things I thought of given the venue.

Go to any open carry state, generally, people are respectful and the sidearm is just part of one’s daily attire. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I’m not aware of any open carry state that has had a mass shooting at a public event. Excluding public schools for the obvious reasons.
