Wouldn't it be even more ironic if the gunman got his ammo and supplies from that same Walmart?

Be safe out there with all the gun nuts wandering around. LOL.

Honestly, given the few extremist gunners here and more elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised at that "solution" being promoted.

I guess the school grounds was too hectic with all the activity so they bussed the children to the Walmart which has more space.

want to refuse that ship and try to swim instead.

Walmart provided a well known location for a save haven to reunite families. What they sell or do not sell is immaterial

and get them back together with their parents. Does Walmart sell anything besides guns? Did they march the children to the gun section for educational purposes.

Be thankful for the children's safety.

not even BB or airsofts much less actual firearms. I'd bet most will go homes with firearms...

The parking lot is a designated area for picking up the kids.
