Massive shooting in Colorado. Perp possibly used an AR

So far FOX is sticking to the "Semi-automatic rifle" and not going in the direction of "assault weapon" as some other networks have.
At one point today Drudge was reporting 15 killed, and it may indeed get to that point, but I surely hope not. As FOX is reporting, this took place less than 10 miles from Columbine High School. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for the community and the parents/loved one's both of these tragedies as I am sure this one is affecting the families of the prior event.

In the wounded list, they are including those seeking medical attn. from the tear gas, and those who trampled each other trying to flee.

Posted about this on Facebook a couple hours ago, stating basically that for every 1 memorial post I've read, I've seen at least 1 anti 2A piece either on fb or in the media at large. And stating that we must stay ever vigilant, as the 2A folks, to make sure that we are carrying when possible, and pressing for more freedom when it comes to the exercising of our "rights". The first response read that we need to take some "time to mourn", and that I sounded like a politician. I responded that now is the only time we have to do what we can...and that we mustn't rest with regards to this because it only gives the antis time to spin spin spin. Piers Morgan (it was on at work) was posing the question "Should these weapons be allowed in modern America?". I had to go outside so I didn't put my fist through the tv.

Also, it began with a disclaimer stating that I wasn't making light, and that my prayers went out to those effected. It has nothing to do with being empathetic which I most certainly am. I was merely stating that it is imperative that we continue to fight the fight.

It would have turned out much differently were it 200 people, with but 10 of them Carrying the Mindset, Skills and Hardware to defend themselves.
Yes, the CS complicates things, but you can function in that environment. I have.
