Mass Shooting In San Bernardino Kills At Least 14 (cnn.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Authorities say 14 people were killed and 14 others were injured in a mass shooting in San Bernardino today. Police have mounted an intense manhunt for the gunmen who fired into a conference hall where county employees had gathered at a service center for people with disabilities. CNN reports: "The suspects were armed with long guns, Police Chief Jarrod Burguan told reporters. 'These were people that came prepared. ... They were armed with long guns, not hand guns,' he told reporters. Most of the victims were 'centrally located in one area of the facility,' Burguan said. Police didn't exchange gunfire with the shooters, he added."

    And now Obama will go up to his podium and act sad and say things like "we must do something," "guns are bad," etc., etc. But nothing will be done (as usual) because everyone refuses to address the real problem here - the mental health status of the individual pulling the trigger. The cat's out of the bag people. People are gonna get guns if they want them bad enough regardless of what feel good regulations we pass. The real issue at hand is helping the mentally ill so they don't get to the point where they want to pull the trigger.

    Sure ignorant leftist AC. Pay no attention to the fact that in many of the recent mass shootings that shooters went out of their way to go to facilities where guns were explicitly banned, bypassing similar venues where people might have legally been carrying concealed weapons for protection.

    Imagine that.

    Shooters willing to break a law GO TO A GUN FREE ZONE TO MASSACRE PEOPLE.

    Like Paris.

    As if someone willing to commit mass murder CARES ABOUT BREAKING GUN LAWS.

    Geez.

    Less guns means less gun violence.
