Did they release the victim's names yet?
Maybe they're still investigation?
Or still notifying next of kin?

The media and Mexico is hoping they were all Mexicans. Altho they were in Texas and who knows if they were illegal or not.

Ivanka is calling for Red Flag laws. I have a feeling that’s who is influencing the President. Ivanka and Jarad, two left wing liberals running the country. And we thought we won.

That number would probably be lower if Texas had constitutional carry.

All the reasons in the world have been given why this keeps happening except pushing God out of American life and creating a vacuum for Satan to fill. We reap what we sow.

That was known 2yrs ago, that she and hubby had both Trump’s ears, and were wielding great influence. Ultimately, he’s got to decide.

Most of the shooting victims, this weekend, in Chicago and Baltimore were black.

Where are their stories?

66 shot, 12 fatally, in Chicago weekend shootings

Baltimore recorded its 200 homicide and will top 300 murders for the 6th year in a row...

Why is it a city like San Jose, CA has 30-40 murders per year with twice the population? (rhetorical)

****************************************************************

they are making mental health the cudgel by which they will beat us into submission and consent to a new law “for the children”

Last year it was Bump Stocks

The previous year it became “Red Flag” laws(mental health)

Next will be weapons of war

Or

Limitations on magazine capacity (one Freepee already suggested that this morning as the foundation of his thread)

Why not have all guns storee at the local P.D. armory. Yep, you can get your property, by appointment only, at their hours and days only.

You must return your property to the armory by a specific date and time, which will be limited and if you are late , you will suffer the wrath of LEO...

“Here are the 20 rounds you allowed to have during this period”...

And so forth

********************************************************
As another Freeper remarked

All those prior service folks riding the PTSD gravy train may be surprised when their medical status gets linked into the coming “Red Flag” laws.

There are those who do suffer from PTSD but it’s become the free money express the last 10 years.

VA has been pushing disability for PTSD and the requirements are getting lower and lower.

Many have it but a great number don’t but accept the PTSD disability for the

extra money.

We’ve been talking about this in vet circles for a number of years. Some of us see the mental checks getting pushed through and then vet medical records linked to the background check process.

It will be so easy to say “PTSD? No guns for you.”

I doubt that. We have CHL and Open carry. I am one of the few CHL people I know who actually carries his gun all the time. I occasionally visit a Walmart that is not very safe and I would never go there unarmed.

Maybe nobody was armed in El Paso because so many of them are illegals who can't get a CHL?

“Maybe nobody was armed in El Paso because so many of them are illegals who can’t get a CHL?”

I found it interesting that the Mexican Foreign Minister or whatever he’s called had a statement about the protection of Mexicans in the United States.

Is there a case coming where some D argues if citizens should be armed, everyone should be armed too, regardless of immigration status?

Talk about putting the match to the powder keg.

A lot of folks aren’t going to go through the time and trouble to get a license figuring they won’t get hit. You don’t have to pay anything to open carry, but you run the risk of commie aggression sorta like that MAGA hat.

Nope, if you can carry concealed so no one bugs you and you don’t get in trouble if pulled over by a cop or something, I think more would carry and more would be in the position of stopping the nutcases before the cops show up.

Not a guarantee, just bumping up the odds.

And all caused by a mass murderer’s belief in global warming, overpopulation and imagined scarcity of natural resources (re. his manifesto).

Correction:

And all caused by a mass murderer who had such beliefs. Many people have kooky beliefs but wouldn’t do anything so horrible as a result.

I am also one of the ones who carry all the time. We are part of a group that is only 2.4% of all chl licensed gun owners.

Which is why I occasionally urge chl licensed Freepers to carry all of the time.
