“And what gun control law exactly would have stopped him? Are they proposing to ban sales to black homosexuals?”
Exactly. Typical Leftist bait and switch. The murderer of his daughter went through all the background checks.
So his response? We need to extend the background checks to more people!! No connection to rationality or reality.
What he will never say, and where there is a clear connection, is that the media driven frenzy for more restrictions on Second Amendment rights, is linked to these sort of shootings. If the media had not made a super villan out of Root, this guy might never have felt validated to start a “race war”.
But the message that the media is responsible, at least in part, is assiduously stomped down, by the media.
That is what this meant.
HOWEVER, if she lived in state that permitted concealed carry without permit, he never could have gotten away with so much
So true...
I think if more conceal carried, fewer morons like this might think again...maybe.
Uh no it won’t. I am sorry for the man’s pain but his daughter’s tragic death does not Trump the rest of us from owning weapons. 90 million gun owners didn’t kill anybody yesterday.
He used to work in the theater on Broadway so that far left bet is a sure one.
What do people have against paragraphs?
Exactly.
“If I understand correctly, he bought the gun illegally.”
I heard he bought it totally legally. Passed whatever legal check there was and everything.
And just what would have been found in the shooters’ background that would have stopped him from getting a gun?
I’ll take the argument even further.
Let’s just say I wave my magic wand and all guns suddenly go away.
In this day and age, it’s a piece of cake to make your own weapons. And who are going to be more motivated to do just that? Criminals.
And then what recourse would law-abiding citizens have to defend themselves? Nothing.
Just saw an interview with the husband of the woman who was shot in the back. He said he does not blame the gun but the crazed person using the gun. Good for him!
WADR, he was homosexual. Normal people are not homosexual. I don't care what the queers who took over the APA say, it is a mental illness.
Yes, until they got control of the board of the APA (American Psychiatric Association, IIRC).
Don't ever let a government use "mental illness" as a legal basis to prevent someone from buying a gun if the same government uses politically-based definitions of mental illness.
