The Messenger News is littered with stories like this all day everyday. It’s pretty much the news source for the worst of humanity. I get it popped up in Flipboard amongst other news. Thinking about blocking it because it’s always a major bummer.
 
Barely even makes the news anymore. Nothing to see here, just a subway car full of civilians trying to get to where they need to go being terrorized by senseless gun violence.

Also, the guy who pulled out the gun was under no imminent threat. Totally senseless stuff.

I thought i read that the guy who pulled the gun had been stabbed in the back by a lady before he pulled the gun. Of course, he had been beating another guy (the eventual shooter) senseless at the time he was stabbed, so…

Right, this is in line with what the news reported earlier this evening. Strange times, sounds like the NY subway has gotten really bad and they've had to call in the national guard to help.
 
Based on figures from the gun violence archive, incidents of mass shootings (4 or more people taking lead),

incidents are down significantly compared to this time last year.
 
Not today's shooting, but hold on to your hat, it may herald tomorrow's, as Fenix Ammuntion is encouraging ammosexuals to show up at a Gun Violence Prevention Town Hall meeting armed to the gills, offering shirts and hats to those who do.

Or actual harsh punishment for not being responsible.

I don't think any violent gun crime should be eligible to be pled down. Take them to court. Sure you will lose some, but you will also win enough with harsh punishments to scare the rest into compliance.
