A shooting at a bar in a popular outdoor mall in a Miami suburb early Saturday left two dead and seven injured.

According to local law enforcement, an altercation at a martini bar at the CityPlace Doral complex broke out around 3:30 a.m. Saturday, prompting a security guard working the scene to intervene. A man involved in the altercation subsequently produced a gun and shot and killed the guard. 

"You start hearing shots. And it wasn’t one. It was one after another, after another, after another," recalled Peter Andres Jordan, who was in the bar at the time. 

Two police officers then shot and killed the alleged gunman, but not before one officer and six bystanders — five men and a woman, according to police — were wounded in the shootout.

What youre saying is you don't want the gun to go no matter the risk.

Yup. Deal with it.

We're saying Americans should rethink what they want to do with guns, not for the government to forcefully remove them.

Americans as a whole are more favored to own firearms. This little anti gun family here on social media is a minority.

Plenty of countries have the right to own guns, you just can't have 4 ARs for your shopping trip at walmart. They dont have multiple shootings per day.

An AR is a plastic semi automatic rifle. It's no different from any of my other semi automatics. This is why the majority of gun owners don't even want to discuss this stuff with you lot anymore. We're tired of the ignorance.

At least you admit it has nothing to do with gangs or the number of Americans, you just want guns.

I can rephrase that last part. America is the only country that needs plastic semi-automatics at walmart. Better?

Walmart doesn't sell ARs. This is seriously how ignorant you are on the topic. Arguing with you is like a child making up shit to get their pouting ways. Lol

Wooosh.. I'm not talking about selling ARs I'm talking about the right to own and carry them, in some places around your neck at Walmart.

Maybe I wouldn't seem so ignorant on the topic if you stopped fabricating arguments I'm not making.

Why does it matter where they're carried?
