I wonder how many hundreds of rounds were fired to hit 15. The numbers are probably astounding.

It’s still Winter. It’ll amp up in a couple of months when it’s more comfortable on the streets.

Someone needs to send this information over to the thugs running the FBI and Homeland... let them know none of the killers were white middle class Christian men...

“Firing sideways hits nothing”

Which is why they all need a 30 round mag.
