Rubber bands can be used to achieve the same thing. Are we also going to ban rubber bands?
Paddock was Mooslim madness.
Oh, for crying out loud.
I don’t give a shirt if his mommy and daddy didn’t love him enough.
The son of a bitch is dead and he deserved it.
He was crazy.
But he was crazy enough to function efficiently in our society and make lots of money.
He could have run for office as a Democrat and won.
Then, we could have another crazy son of a bitch who felt that his mommy and daddy didn’t love him enough like, oh, say, Bill Clinton or Barrack Obama.
There are always going to be crazy son of a bitches and some of them will be elected as Democrats and control vast amounts of killing power.
Nope.
Never.
No gun control.

The liberal controlling beast is very hungry.
If you feed it at all, you had better expect that it will come back for more.
The author of the piece couches his veiled appreciation of gun control in the diagnosis of an American ‘psychosis’.
No matter how ‘crazy and darn dangerous’ Americans are seen to be by the rest of the world, it is the very American ownership of guns that daunts dictators, globalists, and Communist-kissing liberals alike.
I’m surprised that the author of the article did not dig back into the history of The Ol’ West, to substantiate his ‘psychosis’ theory.
I think anyone who thinks there should be a fight over bump stocks is just plain silly.
1. It is a fight that is already lost
2. Even if we were somehow able to turn it around, there would be nothing real gained by 2A advocates
3. Most 2A advocates don’t care about bump stocks and are not in the fight. They are passive, at best.
I say again, it’s a silly waste of energy and political capital for NOTHING. And, it splits the 2A bloc.
The writer is Mona Charon who is a conservative Never Trumper.
The case that the tumor had much to do with Whitman's behavior was never considered definitive. Meanwhile, his ferociously messed-up childhood is beyond question. His father was extremely, notoriously angry, demanding, and physically violent, both to him and his mother. His mother left his father after the kids were grown to live alone and work in a store, just to get away from the beatings. Charles became violent to his own wife after they married at 20. He was initially a high achiever in academics and sports, but less so when he was sent to college on a GI scholarship. He drank and gambled and had fits of rage. He was court-martialed by the Marines for loan-sharking other Marines, threatening them, and keeping a private firearm in his room.
The father apparently had no tumor. If the son acted like him after growing up around him and being beaten regularly, the tumor COULD have been an extra factor, but as an explanation, it seems unnecessary. Personality traits and some behavior tendencies are heritable, and random beating and cruelty in childhood are known to leave the victim with a reservoir of rage that can inspire him to victimize others.

Charon is indeed a writer. But she’s no conservative, no matter how loudly she may claim to be one.

It looks like it, but unless the authorities report that they found a Koran in his house: as ISIS claimed that he converted to Islam, we don’t know. So far there is no report that they found one.
Yeah, but this time she stays on subject and makes no mention of President Trump which is good.
I don’t believe that tumors are inheritable as you seem to do.
It's not a "gun problem" at all. It's a murderous nutjob problem. Banning bump-stocks, or even real automatic weapons, is misguided and foolish (at best). At worst it is a deliberate effort to disarm the people prior to oppressing them. We need to concentrate murderous nutjobs, not get distracted by the foolishness of banning objects.
Here is the problem I see with the bump stock ban - IMO it will not be a clean bill, Dems will work with GOPe squishes to add other gun control measures, Trump will veto, and the Dems will run around shrieking about how Trump won’t even sign a bump stock ban. That is the trap to avoid.
“Dems will work with GOPe squishes to add other gun control measures”
that’s why GOP must put a clean bill on the floor and close debate.
You said it and I agree completly
