    The purpose of having a gun is to kill as many people as necessary

      Not News? Think about this for a sec, have you ever thought about one of those random bullets making it’s way into someone’s home striking and killing someone or into a vehicle or someone just walking along the road? Am I right or am I wrong for saying this? This is beyond out of control. I live in the area and when I heard the gunshots I jump oit of my bed and lay on the floor.

        6 idiots would dislike this comment. Soon y’all is going to have to install bullet proof windows in your homes. Can people actually be this stupid? Let the gun shots rain down on your A.

          I agree with your comment, leave these non thinking, lack of basic common sense idiots alone. Look out for yours. Everyone seem to think this is a joke. I already see a mass shooting taking place soon on this 2x4 Island. It is happening everywhere only a matter of time before it reaches our shores. That bubble of protection is a thing of the past.

    This early in the morning these fools acting like they are on the firing range. Bullets don’t have eyes. I agree with the above comment, you in your home and you hear gunshots the best thing to do is hit the floor. I don’t even sit on my porch like I use to.
