What's just boiled my pissed was the first question in the press conference.
"Do you think the shooter has mental issues?"
Had the shooter been a man of colour...
Lets see how Trump plays this one if its proven hes a racist ****.
Fox is already blaming it on video games.We all know how it will play out.
Trump will step up efforts to categorise Antifa as a terrorist organisation and a threat to American lives. White nationalist terrorist attacks will continue to be dismissed as loners with mental issues. Then they will look into how video games are to blame. Or black rappers.
You can’t have a rational debate because one side is not rational. When you bring up gun control and they say that if you ban guns you have to ban spoons because people use them to overeat which can kill you you’re never going to be able to come up with a solution.But again it boils down to why should the rest of the world care? The fix is in the hands of the US people who time and time again allow the gun lobby to rule politics and cut down any challenge to gun ownership. If the non gun owning or gun owning but in favour of controls majority cannot get their act together this will just keep happening.
Well to be fair the USA is the only country with video games.Fox is already blaming it on video games.

I’ve heard that argument more than once. Our only hope is to win a super majority in the senate and completely ban assault weapons sales while confiscating them from domestic abusers/criminals. In 50 years they’ll mostly be gone.
That’s why we have to do it slowly. If you are a domestic abuser they enter your home and cuff you then they take your guns. Let non-crazy non-violent people keep them but get them out of the hands of people likely to be murderers. It’s a start and would save some lives.The issue is that the legal proliferation of them to this point makes it nearly impossible to rein them in now because no one wants the inevitable bloodbath between those who refuse to relinquish them and law enforcement/military attempting to confiscate them. Tens of thousands of Americans would barricade themselves in their homes rather than give up their firearms. I am not joking. It really comes down to that. It's on par with slavery as a dividing point. Repeal of 2A would result in Civil War 2.
Well at least then they might see how useless their little hand guns are against a drone strike.The issue is that the legal proliferation of them to this point makes it nearly impossible to rein them in now because no one wants the inevitable bloodbath between those who refuse to relinquish them and law enforcement/military attempting to confiscate them.

Who feeds this shit into his brain ?
As people become more stupid they feel the need to brandish weapons to deal with conflict/intimidate others. I grew up in a family of hunters and there were always guns around but I never once heard my father go on and on about murder fantasies that I hear all time time now. It's always "If somebody trespassed on my property I'd shoot them" or "If somebody broke into my house they'd be dead" or some other crazy shit. I've mentioned that it would be much safer to just leave and call the police but they don't want to hear it, they want to kill somebody so bad that they're consumed by it. We're at the point where people have mistakenly killed family members because they thought somebody broke in. There was even a guy who left something valuable out in the open and hid in his garage waiting for somebody to come and take it so he could kill them. Another guy shot some black people out in the street because he deemed them a threat. I know a guy who heard somebody in his yard and grabbed his assault rifle and went up on his roof like some kind of stupid commando to try and kill them.Well at least then they might see how useless their little hand guns are against a drone strike.
For the record, I think it's entirely possible to allow weapons and have sensible gun controls that make these kinds of massacres less likely. Even some gun enthusiasts have proposed sensible measures (banning high capacity magazines, etc) but they are constantly shot down (no pun intended) by the gun manufacturers. Sorry, not gun manufacturers, that civil-minded gun enthusiasts club the NRA, which is in no way associated with gun manufacturers.
8chan and his president. Let's not get this twisted his own president keeps banging on about how dangerous these Mexicans and Hispanics are, these pathetic loners think they are some kind of Joan of Arc. In reality 20 dead won't change shit all he has done is caused people pain including his own mother, and he will be getting raped for the next 50 years.
Hear that all the time yet no one ever does it do they, you run like any sane person would.I know loads of Americans in their 60's /70's who are the nicest people you could meet until you mention gun control -then they just go on the defense .They don't really trust their Government ,many have grown up with guns,they grew up in rural isolated areas where calling 911 wouldn't be much use. They would rationalise this latest horror, that if they had been in Walmart they would have pulled out their concealed weapon & end of problem.
The NRA should be classed as a terrorist organisation.Another one in Dayton, Ohio. At least 10 dead apparently and no confirmation that it’s over.
