Democrats have no proposals except major pain of economic reversal and political loss of their minds.

There is not a politician out there who would not be happy to see the citizenry dis-armed.

The thing about gun control is that it is never about gun control.

The solution is to throw enough Communists out of helicopters. That way they won’t be running the schools brainwashing kids and making them crazy, breaking up sound family environments, and otherwise relentlessly firebombing the institutions of society.

Of course. Gun control is always about a desire to murder the people from whom the guns are to be taken away.

Those who espouse it should be treated as aspiring mass murderers, because they well and truly are.

Wrong. The El Paso killer did not post to 8 Chan. He posted to Instagram and a third party reposted on 8 Chan. But Instagram is one of “their” websites.

President Trump said what all Americans should affirm and act on, "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy.

I believe he's done this already numerous times and all it gets him is hate, hate, hate from the media.

"There are no sure solutions to mass attacks; one man with a weapon and motivated to kill is hard to stop."

Stop right there. Absolutely false and this is the deadly mistake we are making.

One man with a gun is in fact the easiest mass murderer there ever will be to stop. The solution is to rush him from every angle at the very first opening. a lone gunman can only shoot in one direction at a time, they can only look in one direction at a time and they can only move in one direction at a time. This means he is open to attack from every other angle. One man, even with a gun is no match for a crowd of people determined to take him down. The crowd will win every time. Ever wonder why you always see "stacks" of men on a tactical assault team going into any structure, even small buildings? One of the main reasons is it's impossible for one man or even two or three men to cover all the angles of attack. If just one police officer or even a navy seal enters a building alone they will tell you they can be ambushed and taken down VERY easily so the only defense is to have a team of men that can cover all the angles of attack. As I said one man can only cover one direction at a time and is otherwise wide open to be attacked from every other angle. This even includes attack from above.

So STOP with the irrational totally false premise that lone gunman are difficult to stop, they are not. This is only what the left and the uninformed want you to believe.

We have already had this demonstrated successfully several times but you don't hear much about it. Read about this man in Tennesee who demonstrated just how easy it is to stop someone with an AR15. He saved many lives and he acted alone.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/22/us/waffle-house-shooting-hero-tennessee/index.html

If everyone takes this mindset these mass shootings will end because the crazies will know they are going to be attacked and stopped. The other factor is the crazies love the idea they will terrorize people with fear, when they realize they are NOT feared they won't even try it.

“Steven Williford used his automatic weapon to put two shots into the killer that day.”

Williford was carrying an automatic weapon?

From the article:

Resist the temptation to establish “gun free zones” which marks such areas for easy targets for mass shooters.

The Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. Let citizens who qualify carry weapons.

In a nation filled with self-absorbed, isolated children and adults, there is a need for a religious revival.

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick observed, “Everyone drops to their knees and prays after an event. Let’s start coming to God before the event so we don’t have to pray after the event. I will tell you after going to countless funerals, … I can tell you if it weren’t for their faith in God, these communities and these parents couldn’t get through. I don’t know how they do it without faith.” “

Faith and freedom are a must.

Well said, Terry Paulson and Lt Gov Patrick !
