Well, I was just wondering if you intended to answer the question. I mean you gave an answer but it really didn't address what he asked. If you feel that it's fine for Trump i.e. government to have control of all the guns you could have just said that.
Government, law enforcement, military, intelligence agencies...

If America is incapable where other countries are capable... You know what that makes us? Failures. Mentally sick. Not worthy of the rights we have.

See this is the problem. You don't know me but almost immediately go to insults. This is one of the reasons nothing is going to get done about this because you can't just state your honest opinion (and why) about the matter.
Sure. That's the problem. Keepin' it Simple stupid! Mmwhaa!

Rush Limbaugh TODAY went on a 15 minute rant about the terrorist threat that leftists pose. He used this shooting as an example of the lefts threat to greater society. This shooting was one of his points of data. This kind of disinformation is catastrophic to a free society. When you can lie about material reality to millions without negative consequence, the amount of damage you can do is nearly unlimited.
Please provide quotes as I'm having trouble finding this. I'm not a Rush fan btw...but this just smells weird.

Almost? See above (#442). Do you see any counter point or valid argument? Nope. Nothing but pathetic weak insults. See how I ignored that fool even it ran after me time after time and beg to lick my butthole. No means NO. LOL. How sad and pathetic. Get a clue.

If only causes of death received media coverage based on how much death they actually caused. Guns would be a drop in the bucket. But our media gets money from ratings, so stories that stir the pot sell, regardless of common sense.

Shooter had an argument with his mother-in-law and had evidently threatened her recently. She was a member of this church, but not in attendance on the day in question.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41892838

Sounds like this might have been personal, but questions remain over why he would target her in church as opposed to somewhere else, and why he went ahead and slaughtered a bunch of people after discovering she wasn't even there.

Looks like I guessed correctly. :D


Hard to find logic in insanity. He made a decision to murder a bunch of people, not sure his mentality went a whole lot beyond that in the moment, and he clearly didn't have a plan after considering he meandered to the next county over before (seemingly) killing himself.

Yup!

This actually is perhaps the only valid reason to keep current gun laws as they are. Not a great argument but at least a valid one...

Notice how Trump people are fine with blaming this attack on "left leaning" groups before we had any background into. Trump tards posting fake Facebook pages linking this guy to Antifa.

Lying is second nature to Trump scum.
Meanwhile in Twitterland....

The fact of the matter is that there are crazies on both sides of the political spectrum. This 'only one side does it' horseshit is dishonest as hell.

“Reports out of Texas are devastating. The people of Sutherland Springs need our prayers right now” - Paul Ryan

“The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they’d still be alive, you worthless sack of shit” - Wil Wheaton

For fucks sake, it is right there on his damn homepage. Please tell me you are just trolling.

You can listen to it by clicking on the link below and finding the following text. Underneath the text is a link to exactly what I claimed he said.
Terrorists do not always just come from Uzbekistan. They don't just come from Afghanistan. They don't just come from Al-Qaeda. Sometimes terrorists come straight from the Democrat Party, straight from the American left.

WW is a response to someone probably Gov Abbott who said something like the only answer to this is to pray harder. Not an unreasonable response agree or disagree.

I don't see left leaning people making up lies about groups this guy was a member of.

I can't listen...I get a logon screen instead. But you made the assertion...and asking you to back it up isn't trolling the last time I checked.

The WW quote was in direct response to the Ryan quote. And did you miss the tweet I posted blaming the shooting on Republicans?

I made the assertion and did back it up. I guess you will have to become a ditto head to find out if I was lying. I think it is pretty obvious from the text I did post that the chances of prevarication on my part are quite low Hopefully the mainstream media picks up on it and crucifies him for it. What he said is beyond the pale and outright fallacious.

Unlike Rush, I never intentionally misrepresent material reality. Every time that I got the facts wrong, I have ALWAYS admitted I was wrong when the correct information was pointed out to me.

I am glad by your implicit acceptance that this shooting was not a left wing terrorist act. That puts you head and shoulders above much of the alt-right including Rush and posters earlier in this thread.
