    Default 3 killed, 4 injured in California bowling center shooting....

    The worst thing that should happen to you at a bowling alley is doing something stupid and being embarrassed, not this....

    Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
    Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)

    Very sad indeed it is getting to the point where you're not
    all that safe in your own home much less going out into a
    public place just to get shot or shot at.

    Since they say it stemmed from two large groups my thinking is leaning more toward a gang type thing. I'm not thinking it was a dispute between two teams arguing over one of them lying about crossing the foul line and counting it as a strike. I'm kinda glad we had the guy chucking a ball into the scoring monitor instead of this. If that's the worst kind of person I see in there I'll count my blessings.

    I used to work in law enforcement, my step-son is a detective now, my brother-in-law has been a police officer for over 30 years, and my grandfather was a police officer a very long time ago. Nothing wrong with responsible, law abiding citizens carrying. I agree they are too easy to get.

    Very sad situation that has unfortunately become too common.

    They arrested someone for the shooting. Still very sad.

    You should only be allowed to own a gun that you keep in your home. And not a gun that has a clip that holds 50 rounds. A single shot 22 rifle or shot gun. Hand guns are too easily concealed. Only Law enforcement should be armed.

    I completely disagree and most law enforcement officers will too. I typed up a long retort but don't want to turn this into a political thing when the post was meant to acknowledge the victims here.

    I do agree 100% with the 50 round magazine comment though.

    So sad for all the people involved. The victims, their families, and the witnesses, too. All of this is traumatic for anyone involved. But still, guns don't kill people...people kill people.
