More Death In A Gun Free Zone

Another Horrific Act Of Cowardice By Deranged Shooter In Gun Free Zone

Just 8 days after the senseless killings in a gun free zone in Chattanooga we are bringing news of yet another shooting in a gun free zone. The shooter in this shooting 59-year-old John Russell Houser had his vehicle parked immediately outside of one of the exits of the theater with license plates already switched out to help him escape after the shooting. Luckily police responded quickly and he was trapped in the theater where he took his own life.

While the second victim of the shooting 33-year-old Jillian Johnson of Lafayette(pictured on the right) was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The death toll now stands at 3 including the gunman with one more victim in critical condition at this time.

 

The conditions surrounding this shooting lead one to believe that the shooter intent on doing harm to people without the fear of facing off  against an armed bystander. These recent shootings (Charleston, Chattanooga, and now Lafayette) all share this element, they were carried out by cowards that would never have the courage to stand-off against armed resistance.

We as Americans now have a difficult task at hand of insuring that we do whatever we have to do to remove these gun free zones which are no more than killing fields from our society. We will not stop these attacks with deeper, more thorough, background checks, as well all know it s much easier to go out right this minute and buy a gun off of the street at a very cheap price with no wait and no means of tracing that gun back to you. Psychos like this man and the perpetrators of the Charleston shooting and the Chattanooga shooting would not have deterred from their plans over a background check or a waiting period, these are all deranged lunatics that would have done whatever it took to carry out these attacks.

Defensive gun use and removing gun free zones from our country are in my opinion the only hope we have, these cowards will not carry out these attacks when they are likely to be stopped by a good samaritan before they can fully launch the attack. Please be vocal against gun free zones and for the American people to remain armed and prepared to counter these attacks in the future.
