If Steve Paddock was a Mexican who hauled 40 military-grade firearms across our southern border with him ten years ago, Tom Friedman would be publishing op-ed pieces calling on Congress to give him a path to citizenship.

Chaos is the democrat ladder to power. I don’t remember who the FReeper is that said that. He sure nailed it though. I’m without a doubt now as this being a democrat operation.

These Democrats are the party and activists that release violent criminals back on the street to kill again. Just how many murders and child molestations happen with repeat offenders. They stab, strangle, bludgeon, etc. I’m so sick of these disgust people who own violence preaching this bullshyt.

Idiotic. Last night my friend took me across town to a Buddhist meditation at the Unitarian church. The conversation opened with a discussion off the Vegas shooting, and the first man to speak said,

“Thank goodness it wasn’t a Muslim, just another angry white man.”

Apparently it’s not OK to hate muslims, who blow up people all the time, but just fine to hate white men, who do not.

Of course I will never go there again. Held my tongue because the buddhists were not part of that church and they are very sweet, dear, and intelligent little old ladies. It’s the idiot liberal unitarians who are jerks.

Mr.Friedman, you lecture Americans on the Second Amendment, then leave your office at the New York Times, wave to the security guards on duty there, go back to your guarded mansion and neighborhood. You, of course, don’t need to be armed because you are surrounded by paid protectors. You might feel different if you lived in a remote area frequented by drug manufacturers, human coyotes and their cargo or in a neighborhood at ground zero of the latest gang war. But obviously you make the mistake most easterners make, which is to prescribe the conditions and restrictions you want without regard to how it affects people who live elsewhere and under much different conditions. By all means, disarm your guards and unlock your estate gate but don’t tell others how to protect themselves, their families and their property.

We’d be scheduling immediate hearings in Congress about the worst domestic terrorism event since 9/11.

Anybody remember the "immediate hearings in Congress" after the Pulse Nightclub Massacre in Miami? Me neither. Actually I don't remember anybody doing a damn thing that mattered.

Congress lacks the authority to do anything about it. That’s why they don’t.

Actually, the gunman is likely to have been one of Krugman’s own: a liberal.

God, these people are filled with conceit and hatred.

Mr al-Friedman: The purported shooter was a Democrat. That's close enough to Muslim or terrorist for me, same kind of totalitarian lust for power and desire to see others die.

And another thing: just how many millions of us gun owners are you willing to murder for your little totalitarian fantasy? You won't get our guns. We'll die first, and take your government thugs along with us.

Lastly, we'll see about you "getting power" in 2018.

If all of that had happened, no one would be telling us not to dishonor the victims and “politicize” Paddock’s mass murder by talking about preventive remedies.

(Emphasis mine). This is breathtaking. He is complaining because he WANTS to dishonor the victims and politize the tragedy?

“”””… If only he had shouted “Allahu akbar” before he opened fire on all those concertgoers in Las Vegas …””””

How do we know he didn’t?

If only he wasn’t a Trump hating, activist Democrat. Then we could really launch an assault on conservatives and Republicans so we’ll try to distract from reality by raising a red herring.

Tommy has totally gone to the dark side. I hope he becomes a victim of a Muslim. His mocking of the situation is just unforgivable.

Because the GUNS didn’t kill anyone, you pompous ditwad! The piece of garbage behind the trigger did. So THAT is where we need to focus our efforts.

Friedman. Idiot.

IF only Paddock was a Muslim his family member would show up at a Democrat Party rally soon after he murdered 59 people.

“If only he had shouted “Allahu akbar” before he opened fire on all those concertgoers in Las Vegas … If only he were a member of ISIS … If only we had a picture of him posing with a Quran in one hand and his semiautomatic rifle in another …”

If he had done all these things (and assuming he’s not ROP), the NYT and its minions would be demanding tolerance & understanding and scolding Americans against Islamaphobia and lobbying for “gun control”.
Then the candles, flowers, stuffed animals and the rest, and in a week, down the old memory hole and it would be business as usual.
I’m surprised they haven’t yet tried to link this to global warming. The Slimes continues to pretend that we Americans don’t have their stinking number: 666.

Friedman is a sick, dishonest, stupid man -- perfect for the New York Times.

AND YOU DUMB$$ES WOULD BE TRYING TO IGNORE THOSE FACTS

...And telling us not to judge all muslims by one guy

But in this case you DO want to judge all gun users by one guy.
