I notice right off the 4 deaths being pushed, gotta push those numbers up. Even FOX is calling it a mass shooting.
It's turning into a once a week thing these days.
Calling any shooting a mass shooting is kind of along the lines of naming storms. All in the name of politicizing an event.
Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.
Mass shooting is like all the other terms that people use to get an emotional response. It's way overused and it means nearly nothing.
Gotta love how all those security checkpoints and metal detectors kept people safe. Heaven forbid a citizen is able to carry a defensive weapon into a festival. I will credit LE for a rapid response, but unfortunately, as we all know, the response was already too late for some. Oh yeah, the "if you defensively shoot more than X (3, 7, 15???) yards away, then you are.going to prison..." crowd can pound sand.

The Gilroy police chief just reported the the firearm used was a "SKS, an AK-47 type assault weapon, purchased legally in Nevada...".
Prayers up for the victims and families.
