The victims were five women and five men, and include various

head; all of the injuries have been reported at not life-threatening at
this time, and all victims have been treated and released. The ages of
the victims range from 16 years old to 29 years old.
“We called in
the GBI Crime Scene Unit to assist us in processing the crime scene
while our investigators responded to area hospitals to interview the
persons shot. The initial incident occurred within the confines of the
building which was occupied according to information received by a very
large crowd,” Smith said. “Our investigators determined through witness
statements that an altercation occurred involving several subjects over
illegal gambling that was taking place in the back portion of the
building.”
The suspected gambling reportedly caused a fight where
weapons were drawn and shots fired. Many of the victims fled the scene
before law enforcement arrived.

"According to the sheriff this is not the first time trouble has happened at this bar and he wants it shut down."
So a bar than condones illegal activities and minors in the bar during the wee hours of the morning and seems to have a history doing this stuff, and the fault lies on a law regarding carry permit holders. I'd be very surprised if even one person there had an actual carry permit.
"VERY surprised?" I wouldn't, especially given the ease with which those permits can be had.
Delete"Two possible shooters, however at this time all we have is street names," said Sheriff Smith."

Don't know of many permit holders with street names, though things might be run differently in Georgia.
Even if they were all thugs with criminal records, the fault is still, at least partially yours. Those guns all came from you lawful gun owners who cannot seem to keep possession of your precious guns.

DeleteWrong again, I'm afraid, Mikeb. Even if we accept this bizarre notion of yours that the person whose gun was stolen (a crime victim, in other words) somehow shares responsibility for any evil later done with the gun, since SSG has never been the victim of a gun theft, he would still not be in any way responsible.
Better luck next time, Mikeb.
Just everyday life by kill crazy gun loons.
