The mother of a man who survived the Las Vegas shooting but was killed in the Thousand Oaks shooting Wednesday night told local reporters that she wanted policy change over thoughts and prayers for her son's death.

Just saw a clip of this mother, obviously she is devastated and appears distraught. HOWEVER, she said, I hope to GOD I dont get any more prayers.
Wow, guess I’m not use to college kids that have the money to go flying or even drive hours away more than likely staying in hotels to follow some music circuit. Maybe that’s why they come out of college in such debt.
What are the odds that a guy would be present at 2 incidents involving a shooter in two different cities?
That’s some pretty lousy luck.
Coincidentally, the odds of my ever being involved in a shooting of the type in 100 lifetimes is astronomically-greater than what I tongue-in-cheek labeled bad luck for him:
I don’t go to gun-free zones. Never will unless legally-compelled.
Funny thing, oddly: When you look at the math that way there is only one logical answer...
I'm sick of the constant attacking, too. I always make sure to keep throwable objects out of reach if I'm watching the news. :-)

Yes, it is. I couldn't agree with you more.
My aunt visited recently and do you know that she still wears the Mother's Necklace that I gave her shortly after she lost her son? I love her so much. It's been so hard to see her go on without him. He was a very good son to her and he, too, was military. Navy fighter pilot.
Please don't worry about being blunt. Sometimes things just come out that way, especially when we're under constant attack from Evil.

Lady you live in CA. as I do the toughest gun control laws in the nation ARE HERE what the HELL are you talking about!!! This man was a Marine veteran and his firearm was obtained LEGALLY he had mental problems which his mother TRIED to ALERT authorities to HOWEVER they decided he was OK!!! Your beef should be with the STATE authorities that deemed him OK not his gun!!!
She wants “no more guns.” That’s quite different from gun control. She’s out of her head with grief, and in general.
