As a 70 year old American, I look upon ‘foreigners’ writing on American firearm issues, over the top of my middle finger.

America does have a firearm issue, and it is this, there are not enough well-minded Americans daily carrying a legal firearm of choice, according to present statutes. Used to be EVERYBODY WAS POLITE, because everybody else wasunaware if thd folks carried, in their pocket or not!

‘Foreigners’ , who may or may not habitate other lands, and hsve not ever e perienced the freedom we Ameticans wake up and go to sleep with,, shall always have difficulty comprehending ‘firearm freedom’.
That’s just too bad ...for them!
The bugaboo is not the firearm.
The bugaboo is the bad guy utilizing that firearm.

There was scant information on the gunman: male and still at large. There is no known motive, nor a description of the shooter. A law enforcement source briefed on the matter said the gunman used a high powered assault rifle at close range.

None of them culturally identify as mid-American.

This article essentially states that the gun violence is because of Republicans and the SCOTUS.

Has a description of the shooter been released? Can’t seem to find one yet.

Per L.A. county sheriff Robert Luna, the perp was Asian and the shooting happened over a domestic dispute.

Let’s see, strictest state in the union on guns. One shooter or two that opened fire on Asians. Ten bucks says perp is black.

Hey, continue letting criminals who commit crimes off with a slap on their hands and a promise to be good and they will just commit an even worse crime next. Hey people, what do you expect when you continue electing these soft on crime Democrats?

—correct—and incidentally, that rabid right-winger, Senator D. Patrick Moynahan (sarc) accurately predicted this and even wrote a book about it—to no avail—

Respectfully. The problem is not “the race.”


Your experience is similar to mine. The most attentive nurse was a black LPN who did her best to make me feel comfortable under, what for me, was an unpleasant situation. She never allowed me to feel as if I was any trouble to her at all.

The problem is that far too high a percentage of the ‘race’ has become feral. But I agree that it is important for everyone to realize that all black Americans are not like that.

woke idiots giving the shooter a reason to blame his color, his home life, his lack of diversity equity and inclusion in his life and of coarse the gun that did it

Actually good point. Middle-class, family-oriented, law abiding blacks are not the ones causing the problems. It is the fatherless ghetto gang-bangers who are. All the best to you.

Gun control is just part of the first offensive along with censorship on web media to turn the US into a one-party dictatorship.

With the stolen elections, that offensive is moving right along.

Better to get those falsehoods out there while information is “scant.”
