In a stunning attempt to shift blame for Sunday’s deadly shooting at a Waffle House in Tennessee away from the mentally unstable criminal who perpetrated the crime, on Monday, an MSNBC panel claimed that gun he used, an AR-15 rifle, was the “real criminal” and that America’s pro-gun culture was also responsible for the killings.
“What is your message, I guess I want to ask, to those who say, ‘Don’t touch my guns no matter what’?,” anchor Stephanie Ruhle fretted to New York Times columnist Bret Stephens early in the 9:00 a.m. ET hour. Seizing on the opportunity to immediately exploit the tragedy to push the gun control agenda, Stephens proclaimed: “Well, that’s exactly it. The problem that we have is that we have not just a legal regime, but a culture in which the way in which guns are treated as sort of ordinary household implements is precisely what leads to the deaths of the sort we just saw in Waffle House.”
The faux conservative op/ed writer, who recently called for the repeal of the Second Amendment, reiterated: “But this, again, the central problem that we have here is that we have too many guns in this country and people who don’t think that they are dangerous....it’s also a kind of a failure of culture...”

Well, if we want to blame anything other than the shooter, let’s blame the problem ALL these school shootings have in common....the shooter has mental illness and society hasn’t helped the person get the help the need.
The real criminals is the left wing publicity machine that attracts these psycho killers.
Another shooting where the killer was known to police. Be believed Taylor Swift was stalking him. He shot people while naked. Mentally ill.
His guns were taken when he trespassed on White House property. They were given to his father who promised to keep them from him. But, be gave them back to him.
It’s the guns fault. Sure.
Is he mentally ill or just acting that way? That is the question.
Back in the 90s SUVs were killing people.
the way in which guns are treated as sort of ordinary household implements ......... we have too many guns in this country and people who don’t think that they are dangerous
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The real problem is the people who treat guns as ordinary household implements who know they are not dangerous except in the hands of lunatics like the NYT’s writer.
They would ban US (US citizens) if they could.
The respones to the next shootings in malls, schools, churches, office buildings, etc..... are already written and produced in the can, ready to go. They just plug in a town or establishment name. The details are not wanted, just the message of propagandists appointed by the state media.
So many shootings where there's NO MOTIVE, like Las Vegas. Perhaps the MOTIVE is to push the anti-gun agenda.
Ambien and Wild Turkey is not insanity.
The Left needs a steady stream of shootings and victims to advance their goals.

Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Approach.
What actually does work for public safety:
The evil SUVs were headlined as killing many innocents, back in day.
My question would be:
Planned Parenthood has killed over 6.8M babies who’s responsible?
Bret Stephens has my permission to move to a country that has the culture he prefers already established.
That and the dad gave his son back the guns that the police had taken away.
And Taylor Swift stalked him.
Okay that last one was only in his mind.
This shooter’s family had a brief chat today. Since 2014, they admit he’s been acting awful strange....typical paranoid schizophrenic behavior....thinks that some singer was stalking him and he was being tracked by satellites. Cops would arrest him...hold him...and then release him. The fact that he shows up at the Waffle House nude says much to his mental condition.
It just surprises me that he’s still on the loose and Nashville cops have not located the guy.
