In Dayton the shooter was walking down the street when he was shot. The backstop, plainly visible in the surveillance video that shows him being shot by the police, is the front door and glass windows of the bar.
And, just to be clear, the Dayton shooter was firing what is legally classified as a pistol, although most people would consider an AR-15 with a shorter barrel more akin to a rifle in a firefight than, for example, a 9mm pistol.
Hitting anyone in a moving vehicle is hard unless you are also in a moving vehicle, but since apparently the shooter in Texas was also the driver it doesn't seem that he had much of an advantage since he was shooting one handed while driving.

too many churches have acquiesced to society believing that to be a way to bring them in. if God was there in the midst, people would come . we need a visit ... we need this country to be changed, and not Obamas kind of change.

Actually quite a few instances occur when lots of bystanders get shot. And they often aren't even in "bad" neighborhoods. In July 7 people were shot in one event outside of a theater in the Chicago Zoo, located in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city.
You can see the news report here .
I'll bet you, and most other citizens outside of Chicago never heard about that mass shooting at all. At the end of the article it states that "This shooting was just one of several shootings that happened overnight across the city. Nineteen people were shot and two killed."
The only difference between a typical Saturday night in Chicago and what just happened in Texas is that the anti-gun media runs with the stories about "active shooters" when they aren't residents of cities with strict gun control laws already.

That is the goal ... these incidents will be but a walk in the park compared to the genocide that will come if we give up our guns.

I find people like you to be sanctimonious pricks. If you disagree with someone, state your reason, not start throwing your own crap like a monkey.

We’ll see if the person was on psychotropic meds.

More than likely he was dealing/selling/running psychotropic meds.
DPS pulled him over, DPS is shot, after that all of the shots appear to be for carjacking purposes, including the mail truck he carjacked.
The media will try to paint this as another anti-mexican gun nut, but it looks like a meth-head that didn’t want to go back to prison.

"Good points. What a mess though. Liberals are celebrating."
They wouldn't be celebrating, if we emphasized the causes often enough and demanded real solutions (drugs--especially club drugs and other stimulants, extramarital sex and illegitimacy). The superpredators have arrived, but too many people want to keep the orgy of the dead going.
