It took just a little time for MSM to write stories about the need for more gun control from their President.

Liberals believe gun-control will make black racists & islamic terrorists become average anti-Trump mobs working for the Dem Party.

Most “gun crime” is actually “black people crime”.

Until the lying, quisling media acknowledges this fact, they’re merely traitors to my people.

Of the 27.5 million people who live in this southern U.S. state, more than 1 million people are licensed to carry a handgun.

Which one of those handgun's did the perps in Dallas use? CNN, and the media in general, is pathetic and a huge part of the problem!

We don’t even know who the shooters are yet. The media have not reported who they are, to my knowledge.

We don’t know their motives, we don’t know why they did this.

we don’t know if they are part of a larger plot against police, or other details.

It seems to me, way premature to launch right into the gun control debate over this police massacre.

We don’t know how they got these guns, or any other details.

We have the Obama administration running guns with Mexican gangs.

How responsible is this administration for these deaths?

Um, no. Over a million people are permitted to carry a concealed weapon (now they are also allowed to open-carry a handgun with that same permit), but they’ve always been allowed to open carry rifles without said permit. It’s not a handgun permit.

Florida has 1.4 million concealed weapon permit holders as of March 2015. Probably an increased number now.

Lying Ryan just said that we all need to 'heal' now.

He of course agrees with Obama that more gun control is needed.

(CNN)"A high-profile gun bill pushed by House Republicans leaders remains in limbo because a key bloc of conservatives opposes it and GOP leaders can't muster the votes to pass it.

"House Speaker Paul Ryan acknowledged that he had work to do with his own members to get consensus on his legislation, which is part of anti-terrorism package of measures he and other leaders drafted and planned to vote on this week. "

and equally amazing is that the white police officer to whom he handed the weapon didn’t automatically draw his weapon and fire on this poor guy. Because you know whitey wanted to kill the black man.

Open Carry is the law, but the guy picked a bad time to exercise his rights.

Found it interesting that the local new kept referring to “long guns” when all the tragedies before it’s been “assault rifles”

Who Is Micah Johnson? Dallas Shooting Suspect Identified As Area Resident
By Lydia Tomkiw @lydiatomkiw On 07/08/16 AT 10:24 AM

A suspect in the Dallas police shooting has been identified as Micah X. Johnson, 25, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Johnson was a resident of the Dallas area who had no ties to terror groups or a criminal history. An unnamed law enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times Johnson had relatives in Mesquite, Texas.

Five police officers were killed late Thursday by shooters during a peaceful protest over the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile earlier this week. Dallas Police Chief David Brown said negotiations with one suspect, later identified as Johnson by a law enforcement official, broke down early Friday. After gunfire broke out, a bomb robot was used to kill Johnson.

“He wanted to kill officers. And he expressed killing white people, killing white officers, he expressed anger for Black Lives Matter,” Brown said during a press conference.

Brown said police cornered Johnson in a parking garage at El Centro College in Dallas and negotiated with him for several hours. CBS News also confirmed Johnson was the suspect.

“We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device on its extension for it to detonate where the suspect was. Other options would have exposed our officers to great danger,” Brown said. “He seemed lucid during negotiations.”

Do they expect us to believe that the suspects who executed the police officers had handgun permits?

Of the 2000 shooring victims and 319 dead so far this year in Chicago, how many of the perps had handgun permits?

From my perspective pretty much any male over the age of 13 living in a housing project has a concealed weapon or could get one. They just apprehended a 14 year old here, took his gun, and turned him over to his grandparents. I figure he’ll be dead in a few years
