It is tragic and horrible that 20 people in El Paso will never celebrate another birthday, not attend their children's graduation, not complain about the cost of their daughter's wedding, not attend their grandkid's christening, not be nervous on the first day of school!  They all need our thoughts and prayers...but the deserve a lot more!  This shooting occured in Texas!  I think there will be 100% agreement on this forum that Texas is not a state where especially restrictive gun laws are on the books.  If there is anyplace in the nation where one can safely assume that there will to be a lot of armed patrons in a Walmart, it is El Paso, TX!  So, dammit, what happened to all those ''Good guys with guns'' that so many on this forum insist will make us safer?

El Paso then less than 20 hours later comes Dayton.  A shooter kills 9 and wounds 26 in 30 seconds before he is, thankfully, killed by police!  How many would if have been if he had as much time as El Paso?
