How ‘bout we do a “dialogue” about a racist homosexual wanting to start a race war. We can do the gun thing later if we have time.

Don't fall for that nonsense. From everything I've seen, this guy had no criminal record and no medical record indicating a documented mental illness.
If a government bureaucracy can keep that guy from buying a gun, it can keep any law-abiding citizen from buying a gun.

Okay. Dialogue. Let me start. The man who killed two human beings (and tried for three) violated numerous laws in doing so. He, no doubt, would have violated any new proposed gun laws had they been in force at the time of the shooting. I mean, if he is willing to violate all manner of gun laws in the process (not to mention the very code of human decency), what new law would have stopped him?
Okay, your turn.

I guess if a drunken illegal alien had killed his girlfriend on the highway with a vehicle, all we’d be getting right now would be crickets.

“I believe that the person he needs to “dialog” with has assumed room temperature. “
He held a joint news conference with her father. The father was visibly shaken. The dude was TOTALLY unemotional.
If I were in that situation I wouldn’t even be able to get on TV. It would be family only.

"Twentyagers" is a great word. I've never seen it before, but it meets a real need. Did you coin it? Kudos.

The very same morning here in Indy, a guy stabbed his wife, got in his car, drove downtown, and ran over 5 or 6 people in 5 different places.
Perhaps we should have a dialog on knives and driving vehicles.

"There needs to be some action that is taken out of an event like this -- out of an event like Sandy Hook, like Charleston, like Aurora, Colorado... where these things just don't occur anymore," Sandy Hook: guns banned by law. Charleston: concealed carry permit does NOT allow carry into churches. Aurora: the only theater in the vicinity which had a stated no-firearms policy. What these places had in common is that an ordinary citizen who was carrying a gun under the law would not be allowed in those three places. If you want to change something, start with that.
I have attempted to determine the gun policies at the Bridgewater Plaza, without success. If anyone can point me to whether guns were allowed or prohibited there, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, this bothers me, and I might add that he was showing their scrapbook to the TV news crews in front of his house. I mean, what’s up with that? And the bright clothes? The day his girlfriend was shot to death? I guess we should cut him some slack, but -

No, “twentyagers,” like teenagers only older. It’s a great word.

He could have killed them with a knife, rock or pointy stick. I’m sorry for your loss. Dialog over.

Upon further review, you’re right. He was crazy but not in a clincal sense. No way to detect that. Our constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms and that means some crazy people will, too. And sometimes they will use them to do crazy things, just like they’ll use a car or other instruments of destruction to hurt innocent people.
I stand corrected, thanks.

Crazy will find a way to kill.
Dallas, today. Drugged up wild man is dead after an altercation with police.
He had a box cutter. Just as lethal as any other weapon when applied in a rage.
The problem isn’t gun violence. It’s violence driven by drugs and mental illness.
Guns are just another tool.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Would it make him feel any better if they had been hacked to death with an axe?
