Unpopular opinion from someone who hasn't daily-carried a fully-automatic rifle since leaving the job that required it: if you have a gun, expect to be shot (at). I'm sorry about people being injured and a person's name being sullied in the process, but I stand by my comment. Untrained randos don't need to stomp around porting ARs. That's it; unleash the downvotes.

Surprisingly, I agree with you. I think jackbooting around with an AR, lefty or not, is generally stupid.

Note to self: aim and fire your weapon after being shot.
DAMN. Yeah that story slipped past me. Thanks for the post.
The witnesses to the event were frightened for their lives and said he raised his gun. Even if he wasn't intending to do a mass shooting, which I am still unconvinced of, his actions were dangerously stupid and he absolutely should be held responsible for creating a situation in which another person felt they needed to use lethal force.
