The shooter was also armed with an AK and has a Manifesto and guess what? He was a Nazi.

Nazis are pretty stupid if they think that will pave their path to power.

And a lot of people use AR-15s. No way that's a coincidence either.

Well the AR-15 is one of the most popular guns in America.

It's Texas. And Walmart also allows legal concealed carry in the state. There will have been guns around.

well the Walmart I worked at only sells ammo and not the guns plus how well do you think you'll be received if you whip out your pistol in the middle of an mass shooting other shoppers and the police will think your the shooter or a second gunman.

Not necessarily- concealed carry is more common in rural areas.

They just want to incite fear and hate. They want a legacy, and a lasting impact, and, as they can't achieve it through legitimate channels, they will lash out in any way they see fit.

Now you're cooking with fire.

And are you ready to retract your statement that the shooter likely selected a Texas Walmart because it is a place with no guns?

Also if you were trying to select a place with no weapons, why Texas?

I happen to be from Texas and been inside many of its Walmart's and most of them sell only hand guns, shot guns and a few bolt action rifle's locked away with only 1 or 2 employees who have the key to the gun case. and no I'm not gonna retract.

I suggest you have your seconds contact each other and find an appropriate venue to work this out. I recommend trout at ten paces. Fresh, not the frozen kind.

He probably wore ear defenders so he wouldn't hear the screams of his victims. Cowardly little fucking wanker.

He went into a Walmart and gunned down defenseless people. Of course he's a coward.

Damn.

Hopefully, those injured have a speedy and safe recovery and that everyone involved in this is apprehended without further innocent bloodshed.

The WASR family of AKM's in the US are incredibly common and relatively cheap. Hell, I own two and paid <300 each for them when I bought them brand new.

*Edit*

Anyone know anything about police response time on this one?

A thread about a mass shooting in a Texas Walmart isn't the appropriate venue to talk about why the mass shooter chose to murder people in a Texas Walmart?

Sure, but your conversation with ISA was devolving into "Issue a retraction," "I will not," "You're wrong," "Am not." Both of you made your points.

Live news of the event:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVlOHFu ... e=youtu.be

At one point a guy called in, claimed shooter said "gamers rise up", said they were warned they were in danger of getting raped by African migrants. ends by calling the reporter a dumbfuck.

Fucking trolls.
