News coming out of Florida is grave. A shooting has occurred, but the details of what led to the shooting remain unknown at this early juncture. What we know is that one suspect is dead, but it is unknown if there was multiple shooters. Eleven people, it is being reported, have been shot. At least four people are dead, but the number of casualties may rise as more details become known.
The shooting occurred at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Florida being held at a pizza restaurant and game bar. A large number of young people had gathered to participate in and observe the gaming competition. Sixteen is the minimum age to compete in the Madden 19 football tournament. This is an ongoing tournament, which adds the possibility that this was a planned shooting that anticipated that young people would be gathered at the location. The reason for targeting young people remains unknown, and is nothing I could fathom.
One theory is that this could be the continuation of gang related violence that occurred two nights prior at an area High School Football Game where one was left dead, and two were injured when a shooter opened fire on the grounds.
"Chilling" is always the word that comes to mind when I hear that someone could be so senseless and go out and kill innocent people in such a way.
I want to emphasize the importance of how we view this incident as the facts become known. The democrats will politicize this as an excuse to call for more gun control. The reality is that the attack is the fault of the shooter, not the firearm. The left calling for the removal of firearms from the hands of law-abiding citizens due to the actions of criminal minds is mind-boggling. Even more mind-boggling is the understanding that if they eventually get their way, and eventually all guns are confiscated from Americans, that would mean that only government would have all of the guns. But, they believe the current government is a fascist regime. Why would they wish for the fascists to be the only ones with guns?
