Why wasn’t this a bigger story? Looks like it didn’t fit with what is “news” they want to report

True, and very sad. Pray that you're never in a situation where you have to use deadly force. Criminals are running the asylum. They have more rights given to them over those who follow the law. Who gives them those rights? Look no further than the part time residents of the district up north.

Default We aren't quite there yet ayn!
This is from about 50 years ago and the writer of the books was certainly anti politician. But the fact of the matter is we're certainly a lot better off as a country and a world than we were 70 years ago

Guns in America. We have roughly one gun per every two households. And unfortunately I don't believe that has helped that much even though I'm sure someone will point out a story or two where they were protected by a gun. The fact of the matter is if someone comes up to you in the street and points are going at you you are going to be fast enough to whip at your gun and shoot them. I really don't know the answer as I believe certainly in freedom of guns but there's certainly is a lot to many of them out there

Florida = Guns, God and drugs. Along with Texas etc.
Any civilized country with reasonable gun laws has no where near the number of shootings that the US does.

It works many times that you do not hear about. Our liberal anti gun press will never report about these cases. Do as you wish but I'll carry.

The motive? The reason that there were so many people and fancy cars from Tampa? Trying to figure out the money behind this gathering and the reason that people would want to shoot other people????

Is this a gang related incident? Is this fueled by drug business? Or was it just a simple too much to drink and have a firearm? Or was it a someone who was mentally off?

Typical of all the media selective, agenda driven reporting.

That's because when they get arrested, they put them in jail. Not like here, where a perp gets let out and back on the street again and again. I'm sure these people were not legal gun owners.
