Too many guns out there in the hands of people with too little self control. Is it really necessary to fire the weapon? What did firing the weapon accomplish? NOTHING! Just leave your guns at home, locked up out of reach of children, other irresponsible people, and thieves.

You can’t reason with violent, opportunistic criminals with stolen/illegal guns who shoot at each other while engaging in other illegal activities. They need to go to prison.

Unfortunately there’s a black market for just about every kind of gun. A felon can get one in less than a day coming straight out of prison. This is reality.

  Why a felon? Plenty of folks out there that have never been arrested with illegally obtained guns.

Too many guns out there period and there is no turning back that flood gate apparently so expect more and more shootings for the rest of our lives.

I could not agree with you more. Due to the proliferation of extremists, I can’t see us ever moving to a period of responsible gun ownership. Owning a weapon based on fear is too ingrained in our society.

Yuck. This happened nearby. Maybe other residents nearby would like to start a neighborhood watch? We need to aggressively go after gang/drug activity, clean up any gang graffiti asap, encourage all the neighbors to keep cameras going on our streets so we have documentation/tracking of surveillance. Enough is enough.

Sorry, comment time is over.
