Some won't believe it until everyone has more guns than they can physically carry at one time.

Ah. A Griffin.
It's designed to be a precision low-collateral damage weapon for irregular warfare.
Why is that a problem bringing a weapon like that back home to the US?

Now we know, someone who believes like Rump
GILROY, Calif. — The gunman who killed three people and wounded a dozen more at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California was an angry 19-year-old who had recently waded into the world of white supremacy.

Santino William Legan, who was shot dead by police Sunday before he could do more damage, posted online about an 1890 racist manifesto, “Might is Right or The Survival of the Fittest,” NBC News confirmed.

“Read Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard,” Legan posted on his Instagram page. He then used a slurs against mixed-race people and misogynistic descriptions of white Silicon Valley workers, complaining about "hordes" of them "overcrowding" towns.

Redbeard, which was a pseudonym, argued that only strength and violence determined what is morally right. The work, which is filled with misogynistic and anti-Semitic rhetoric, is a staple among neo-Nazis and white supremacists on extremist sites.

I wonder why white supremacy people so often use old Norse cultures and names in their acts.
Ragnar Redbeard (Rödskägg) for instance could be one character.
It doesn't matter if it's Scandinavia, Germany, the US and many other countries.
Even Russia has this fascinating to an old Norse culture that never was.

Speculating because Norse isn't Jesus and if they followed Jesus they could not hate.

Who can ever know what goes through the brain of someone so mentally ill.

I think they are too far gone to admit that those they hate are from their own house.

Police in Dayton, Ohio, say they’re investigating “active shooter incident” in the city’s nightlife district

August 4 at 3:36 AM

The early Sunday morning shooting comes just hours after a separate incident in El Paso where a gunman killed 20 and wounded dozens more.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.


edit]
Update fm NYT,
At least nine people were killed and 16 more were wounded in a shooting early Sunday in Dayton, Ohio, the second American mass shooting in less than 24 hours and the third in a week.

But it's all you're going to get, until somebody with integrity takes command.
Fuller story on BBC, that most can read.

Strong voices that are against laws and regulations to tighten the arms supply instead want more citizens to be armed. A position that Trump has also signed. Many want people in a mall or teachers at the school to arm themselves so that they can neutralize or shoot a shooter who comes in and shoots wildly around them. Well that doesn't work and likely it will do more harm than good.
