. The price we paid for the National Rifle Association’s “freedom”

A purely self-serving, selective view of a body count.

The commie libs once again blame THEIR failed, ANYTHING GOES society on the NRA. It’s the people, STUPID. G-D has left the building. How do you expect them to act? Moron.

The truth is the folks doing the shooting are simply insane

And the truth is that NRA members are a lot saner than the children of rich gun hating liberals.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. It breeds the kind of violence by denying the existence of sin and extolling the virtues of selfishness. They advocate for the murder of innocents with no hint of conscience. Then they rail at the object used for these crimes rather than pointing their fingers at the perpetrators. In the liberal minds the perps are numbered among the victims.

Blaming the NRA for gun violence I’s like blaming thr AAA for drunk drivers.

I don't see any evidence that he was on any kind of medication

In the 'manifesto' that he reportedly wrote, he says... "and then I'm going to take the rest of my Xanax and Vicodin, then wash it down with alcohol'.

Maybe.... he was lying to himself. But, I take that to mean he was taking these drugs... Who knows what else he was taking?

He might have planned this for a year, but... at SOME point, he "snapped"... ie; became untethered from reality and all moral grounding. Sounds like it started happening a year ago.

On CNN this morning, they actually PLAYED some of his youtube video. Talk about a GOOD way to encourage MORE of this kind of craziness? That’s the best way.

I’m imagining the same article being written from the standpoint of the 1st amendment. It was Hollywood that created the murderer, and gave him the liberal expectation that he was entitiled to sex.

I can just hear the punk writing this article drooling as he praises Australia’s “solution” to gun massacres. It’s quite clear that property rights and due process don’t mean a thing to him.

Typical socialist. I can see him crying and whining when his stuff is “liberated” from his possession.

The left and the right needs to self-segregate from one another.

Or we need a shooting war.

We cannot co-exist.

“In Britain, knives can’t be pointy any more, they have to have rounded ends like kindergarten scissors.”

Oh, NO! PLEASE tell me you are joking! If you are serious, that island is finished!

I have two large knives for slicing fresh baked bread (oh...the aroma......!):

One which had belonged to my German grandmother, with a long pointed tip. She said it was too much like a weapon.

The other which my MIL brought from London in 1999, with the rounded tip. To hurt someone, you would have to attack with a sawing motion while holding it with both hands like a samurai sword.

Anyway, you could be right about the British. I’ll never go there because I speak neither Arabic nor Urdu.
