How do you know the gun was "purchased." Memories of "other" shooters come to mind. The world, albeit the USA, is in dire straights now because of one particular person and his regime's hate for our country. You got 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count.

AR stands for ArmaLite Rifle. The common misperception is AR means Assault Rifle. Which is false. Furthermore, an assault rifle is a fully automatic weapon which only military and law enforcement can legally poses. So is CBS saying IT had a fully automatic style weapon?

That's not a church. That's a STADIUM with a stage!

He came to carry our weaknesses, our sickness, our pain, so that we can walk in total freedom, peace, power and purpose” (according to Osteen). So why wasn't this poor woman suffering from mental illness healed of her mental illness if she went to that so called 'church?' As for the rest, this is yet ANOTHER case where people knew she was sick and didn't help her properly. And of COURSE, despite her history of mental illness, she was allowed to have a gun.

WHY CANT YOU HAVE A BIG CHURCH, WE HAVE BIG FOOTBALL STADIUM, WHATS WRONG WITH A BIG CHURCH, THE BIGGER THE CHURCH, THE MORE SOULS TO BRING IN!!!
