Mass shooting occurring right now in Jacksonville, Florida

[Koharu]

Jesus, I was supposed to be working today and I work two blocks away.

Jacksonville news is saying 11 in the hospital, 4 dead and one suspect dead.

Glad to hear that you're okay. Hope that your friends and family are, as well.

Prayers for everyone affected, and dear God, I pray we can pass some real gun legislation in this country.

For whatever it's worth "crisis actor" conspiracy theories are already spreading across the internet.

Man, already? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but hope springs eternal.

Have there been any additional reports of injuries or fatalities? I really hope all the injured folks make it through. That Livestream from the tournament was absolutely heartbreaking.

#StopUsingPeoplesSufferingToPushAPoliticalAgenda

To be fair, when the agenda is restricting guns specifically *because* people are dying, is it not relevant to bring up incidences of people dying to justify why your agenda should become public policy? At the very least, it's relevant, even if the exact timing is not favorable.

Exactly this. And in many cases of various sorts, it is the suffering or death of a loved one that motivates someone to push for change. Hence laws from both parties being named after individuals. This shooting shouldn't have happened. Their death is the very reason I want more restrictions on who can purchase a gun and where.
