I found another video which begins before the first string of shots started. Definitely more than 11 shots in that string. Unfortunately it’s a twitter video and there are no controls to slow it down in order to get an accurate count.

I’m so sorry for your friend!
Yet I agree with you about blaming “violence” on an inanimate object like a gun.
And, it has always struck me as strange that most people, including the media, NEVER claim “knife violence” when somebody hurts or kills a bunch of people by stabbing them.
Guess “common sense” ain’t that common!

That said, I’m sure a shot or two in the shooters direction would have made him pause or get distracted enough to safe a life.

What direction?

Where?

What's beyond what people would be shooting at? People?

Yes? No?

You need to go to England. They have knife violence and control of knives. Happened after they banned guns.

They traced the rifle left behind and I stand corrected.

It was an AR-15.

Legally purchased.

So now they know the perp.

What I heard was almost 30… a pause and another possible 30.. I couldn’t help but notice people just sat there. As if they were or had been shooting fireworks.

What’s the over/under he was following the lead of celebutards and protesting the repeal of Roe v Wade?

There is no one thing that anyone can do to "fix" this problem.

That is true, but one step in the right direction might be to have politicians stop making laws every time a terrorist attacks. That only motivates more terrorists to follow in their footsteps.

Apparently it has never entered the heads of the Senators and Congress members rushing to pass new gun laws after a mass shooting that they are doing what the terrorist wants them to do.

The first string did sound like about 30. We can tell for a fact that the second string was 23 shots as the other video could be slowed down and the entire string was caught on that video.

I guess people don’t react because of normalcy bias. They just can’t comprehend or believe what is happening because it’s entirely outside their experience and expectations. Being the 4th of July might have added to that.

Spot on! Our politicians are like trained seals who react to terrorism like someone threw them another fish.
