It doesn’t matter. If it wasn’t a gun, it would be a truck full of fertilizer bombs. If it wasn’t a truck it would be arson. If it wasn’t arson he’d stab someone. If he didn’t stab someone he’d make a pressure cooker bomb. Blood thirsty terrorists will find a way to kill who they want one way or another.
Exactly. Why bother wasting time looking at the tools used rather than the tools using them?
I saw somebody the other day on TV in a discussion over whether the Boulder shooter was mentally ill. Umm, he shot a bunch of people; I’d say he had a screw loose. If the Democrats actually cared about reducing violence in America, they’d get serious about mental health and actual poverty reduction (rather than handouts that build generational dependency).
