It’s not the inanimate object, it’s the human.

When I moved to this area, I was so excited to go to Charlotte for a day of shopping, dinner, and the like. Nowadays I don't feel attracted to the city and avoid it.

Thanks for sharing @momtochloe. Many prayers to all those affected.

It's the human with access to the inanimate object.

It’s really the bullet.

No reason why anyone would need a bullet.

@QueenDanceALot it is the mix that is different. In churches ,and elementary level education you have a mix of people. They might not have had the opportunity for higher learning, and some might not had had much educational opportunity at all

Education is supposed to teach you how to think and reason. At university level all of the people attending are at least at a certain level of education. I would expect a different mindset from people who are smart enough to understand the dangers of guns. They can read statistics and how guns just perpetuate violence

The people involved in the homicide my daughter was witness to, were not outsiders, they were students

apparently local North Carolina stations aren’t carrying it.

I don't know about/who are the other affiliates in that area but WCNC which I believe is the NBC affiliate down there has been broadcasting live. I ran across their Twitter feed, that's how I found this about an hour ago.

@cherry

I appreciate your opinion but I don't believe that those without a college education are any less capable of reasoning and understanding the dangers of guns.
