Mass shooting leaves at least 18 dead, dozens injured in El Paso, police sa

And what restrictions do you propose?

Why were seatbelts introduced? Why was legislation introduced enforcing they be worn?

People can't be trusted to do the right thing most of the time which is why there needs to be preventative measures in place and legislation to enforce those that violate it.

Clearly something needs to happen about the ease of access to firearms.

With great power comes great responsibility. People have flaunted that responsibility for far too long.

When kids can't play nicely they lose their toys.

And thee is a dumb response, it's not about gun violence. It's about mental disorders that are not getting treated

It looks like he was a white supremacist. A lot of the driving force behind mental disorders such as his are being fuelled by Republicans, especially Trump.

Someone in office actively sowing dissent and dividing a country with inadequate gun laws, easy access to entirely unnecessary levels of firepower and a history of mass shootings, it's bound to happen time and time again.

This is no different to Islamic terrorism. Propaganda circulates, a disassociated and vulnerable person latches on to it as a form of identity, belief or purpose in a life usually lacking one or all of those things, and then attacks like this happen.

At this point Trump and his ilk are no different to radical clerics stirring the pot.

I believe his problem was exasperated by liberals and their ilk by sowing seeds that life can be thrown away by supporting abortions so society gets what it sows by liberalism

and that kind of reply is also part of the problem. you are essentially seeking to shift the blame from the actual shooter to the people he was targeting. you disgust me. the shooter made the choices to attack those people. they didn't ask to be killed. your kind of thinking is essentially what leads to these monsters going and killing people. reap what you sow indeed.

Actually if you look I was parroting the poster I was responding to and showing the silliness of his reply. Don't judge without knowing

You didn't quote any other posts. How would anyone know you responding to a specific poster/post.

He wrote in the About section of the LinkedIn page, “I’m not really motivated to do anything more than what’s necessary to get by. Working in general sucks, but I guess a career in Software Development suits me well. I spend about 8 hours every day on the computer so that counts as technology experience I guess. Pretty much gonna see what technology careers present themselves; go with the wind.”

From the manifesto: "Even though new migrants do the dirty work, their kids typically don’t. They want to live the American Dream which is why they get college degrees and fill higher-paying skilled positions."

To quote The Big Lebowski:

Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

The bums will always lose!

You didn't quote anyone, and I don't see that you were "parroting" the immediately preceding poster.

But, okay, if want to say your post was an example of Poe's Law, okay.

 

[charsan]

I have no idea what poe's law is. You were right I did not quote, I responded, guess you don't make mistakes

Instead of getting defensive you could have admitted you didn't quote and therefore the misunderstanding the intent of your post. We don't know what post you are responding to without a quote.

Let call what it is: right-wing terrorism!

 

[JIMINZ]

You're kidding, right?
So yes, the medium is part of the problem.

Your right of course, but people do not die of a gunshot wound inflicted by a claw hammer, the medium would in every case have to be a gun.

Sadly, this tragic and sad event coordinates with the evidence that white supremacy is on the rise under Donald Trump: US neo-Nazi groups on the rise under President Donald Trump: report.

Which is why most civilized countries don’t allow citizens to wander around carrying handguns.

But were talking about Mass Murders. You sound confused.

Maybe you should concentrate on things closer to home, like the next strike in France, never seen such a discontent with everything in all my life except in France, OH and maybe California.

 

[JIMINZ]

You literally just advanced an argument that murder via gun don’t matter because more people die of illness or accident.

No,.... More PEOPLE are Murdered in Abortion than Shootings.
But no one is closing the Abortion Clinics.
Why Not?
Because the Democrats want them open.

 

[JIMINZ]

And on the day when that person carrying the gun gets super angry and loses their temper, a murder is considerably more likely to ensue than if they grabbed a knife or a stick.

I can kill you with my bare hands, I don't need no stick.

Would it be Racist if I said I can't stand Greens?

 

[essentialsaltes]

We have this same conversation after every gun massacre.

 

[mala]

Would it be Racist if I said I can't stand Greens?

why are you trying so hard to deflect and defend this murderer?

 

[JIMINZ]

I don’t care about your opinions regarding abortion, and bringing it up in a discussion about murder rates is meaningless to me.

You don't care about Mass Abortions as much as Mass Shootings.

Someone goes into a Wallmart and Murders 21 Innocent People.
Whats the difference, someone doesn't like the way their life is headed, so they go and Murder their innocent unborn Child, your cool with that.....OK

America is a free country.

Yup, your right, America is FREE and you better smile when you say that pardner.

OH and it's going to Stay Free as well.
