Just senseless. I feel bad for the Pastor and the people shot.

A lot of scared people out there on both sides looking for protection. Unfortunately a few looking for offense too.

Interesting demographic. Scared of what is the $10,000 question. Protestors that we saw take over cities and towns, the left wanting to take guns away, the right wing nuts, or just sick of the gov. effing with us non-stop.

Likely the latter.

Yes to all of the above. COVID really kicked off the buying and hoarding, then it snowballed. People scared of getting shot while going for a jog while black. Scared of ANTIFA. Scared of police breaking into your home unannounced. Scared of Beto saying "hell yes we want to take your AR". Scared of Trump saying "take the guns first, due process second." Scared of D's winning the election. Scared of Trumpists trying to overthrow the .gov

I bought a new 9mm braced pistol a few months ago just because it's fun to shoot. Reminds me, I need to get back out to the skeet / trap range soon, I haven't been in a while.

I wonder what the used gun market is going to look like in a year.

You ain't kidding. And the guns themselves are hard to find in a lot of models, and overpriced as well. After the Obama era run on ammo, I stocked up when it was cheap. I lucked out and got a few boxes of 9mm at around $0.30 per round back in October, but it's definitely slim pickings.

Luckily 12g target loads are still pretty easy to get around here.

"The shooting reportedly took place in the parking lot of Urban Air, a trampoline and adventure park in a strip mall in Nashville's Hermitage neighborhood. There, police say that Wilks and a friend approached a group of people, both of them wielding butcher knives. Starnes was among those people and, not realizing that Wilks was filming a prank, shot him. Starnes told detectives he was protecting himself and others from a perceived threat."

Maybe we'll enact proper YouTube and knife control to prevent this kind of complete insane stuff from happening.
