After murder-attempted suicide in mall, THIS is what 'a well regulated militia' means, you gun nuts

The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, Calif., was locked down Saturday after a shooting inside a store that police are investigating as a murder-attempted suicide; one woman died and a man, apparently the gunman, was gravely injured.

We’re going to spare everyone all the hot takes about a “mass shooting” at a mall — that’s not what this was, at all. However, this take was so scorching hot, we just had to use it:

Where were all the “responsible gun owners” who “have their guns for protection” when someone was shot dead in Thousand Oaks hours ago??? If u want the right to own a gun that comes with the responsibility of protecting ppl. Thats what a “well regulated militia” means u gun nuts

“A well-regulated militia” means that your right to own a gun comes with the responsibility to protect the unarmed — people, like yourself, inside a gun-free zone in particular. Do we have that correct?

It's a no gun zone. Law abiding citizen would not be there with guns.

You mean that you want law abiding citizens to carry their legally owned firearms inside of this gun-free zone? You people really need to make up your minds…
