You never know who is a nutjob ready to pop

9. No surprising

Easy pickings for nutjobs to kill others

12. You mever know that anywhere now, at least in those states that allow any fool to get a gun sans

restrictions--any fool to open carry or even conceal carry...

[vercetti2021]

13. I carry

But I do it because I'm a transwoman in the reddest part of Texas. I do not feel safe without it.

16. I understand

4. Lock Stock and Barrel

Such a cleverly named place to die.

6. Well there's no information there

14. Murder during a robbery of 40 guns and a camera DVR

I guess the DVR had a record of who did it. (the OP article has been updated)

The shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m., the Grantville Police Department said in a statement on Facebook. Grantville is about 50 miles southwest of Atlanta.

Officers were dispatched to the range shortly after 8 p.m., where they found the owner, his wife and their grandson murdered, Grantville Police said. Approximately 40 weapons and a camera DVR were also taken from the scene, they added.

Officials did not specify how the three victims were killed.
...
Authorities are asking anyone that drove by the shooting range between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., who may have seen vehicles other than a white Ford dual-rear-wheel truck and a black Ford Expedition, to contact them.

So I guess there was no-one else there at the time, and it took a couple of hours for someone to either go there, or miss them.

If this was done because someone wants 40 weapons to use now, this is big trouble. If it was to sell the guns on the black market, the trouble is spread over time and place, and hopefully they'll get caught.

11. Rather unlikely, given that they were murdered during a robbery.

10. The owner along with his wife and grandson were killed during a robbery.

15. Look for this to happen more often, the murdering thieves also took the camera setup

They obviously knew the place. Now they have an arsenal of stolen weapons.


Hopefully they'll be caught.

18. at a gun range ?! More proof of the "Good guy with a gun ..." doesn't stop people from dying

[Dial H For Hero]

19. It was after they'd closed. At this time we don't even know if the victims were armed at the time.

Carrying a firearm on your person certainly doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be victorious over any attacker. What it does do is allow you to fight back more effectively in the event that you were attacked and have an opportunity to use it.

17. There will be a ripple effect on this one.

"Approximately 40 weapons and a camera DVR were also taken from the scene, they added."

That's 40 weapons that will probably sold illegally and used in other crimes.
