El Paso shooter pic here we go again

Well that went south in a hurry. Rather than running around like a bunch of chickens with heads cut off pointing wings in all directions, maybe listen to a little sense from both sides.
From the CNN article posted by cal here's a decent place to start:
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, tweeted the shooting was "sick and senseless.""Time to do more than pray. Time to enact common-sense legislation in Congress to empower states to deal with those who present a danger to themselves and others -- while respecting robust due process," Graham said. "May not have mattered here, but Red Flag laws have proven to be effective in states that have them."You think because Lindsey Graham wants to jump on the gun-control bandwagon that this is not a Democrat platform?
Please. This is just his version of the me-too movement and you will see more of it.
but you Democrats and others on the left would have to explain to me how your red flag laws work and how they don't infringe on the Privacy most of you Screech about.
and keep in mind that only these incidents make headlines the thousands upon thousands in the Inner City... Not so much because, you know, racism.

I said "a decent place to start", as in listening to all sides and evaluating all possibilities. I didn't say Graham had all the answers.
I do know it does no good whatsoever to have everyone pointing fingers at one another and still getting nothing accomplished to find reasonable solutions from wherever they come.
You ran up "the Dems are the unreasonable bad guys hoping for more of the same" flag. That isn't at all helpful. I ran up "the Reps should be a part of the solution" flag.

Here's my point that I have repeated often. There is no reasonable solution.

My wife read where there was a person with a concealed carry weapon who helped save children's lives. This person ran towards where he heard the gun shots and helped children to safety. She tried to post it on Facebook but big brother at FB won't allow her to post it. It probably doesn't go with the gun control narrative they favor so they just censor anything else but gun control.

I've made it pretty clear how much I like the 2nd amendment, but I also know what it says and the era in which it was crafted. If you want to be a Minuteman, then join that well armed (with a professional armory) militia every state has called the National Guard. They are the only ones other than the regular military services who should have access to military level weapons. If the founding fathers had envisioned the weapons of today and the ones coming in the future, they would have thought differently about who should have what or how many rounds it should carry. That's my starting place. Yours seems to be "I give up because nothing will work".

the "calling of it for what it was" is still not established - all the evidence is not in, per the police:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/03/us/el-paso-texas-shooting-what-we-know/index.html
that's your lefties' CNN, you know. The article says this sicko murderer held these views for years before President Trump.Btw, it's still being established - but Dillards at the mall...is a GUN FREE ZONE.I'm waiting for info that the entire mall is a GUN FREE ZONE. Of course it looks like a hate crime, sure does. Not a left or right thing. The lefties up in Congress sure went sick, also, in politicizing the tragedy. Maybe there is more information. Like, was this sicko's family murdered by illegals or what?
FACT: taking guns away from all Americans who own them now, would never stop this kid from getting a black market rifle and doing the same hidious horrific crime.

Not enough factual information out there only speculation.
This is the way far right terrorism works: it is foolish, bordering on suicidal, to attribute attacks like the El Paso shooting or the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting to “lone wolves”
the quote is typical "marching orders" from the leftist thought purveyors who shouldnt be allowed access to a keyboard...
no, the shootings like this and ALL others are done by sick lone wolves
with the exception of the radical islamic terrorists of course

Well good for you. That gives the impression of really caring. Another one of my sayings is everything before the but is bullshit.
Face the facts only through repeal of the Second Amendment and a strict clamp down on any kind of firearms owned by the public will have an effect. If you're not man enough to do that there really is nothing you can do and you may as well give up. It's like quitting smoking, you just have to quit. Cutting down by three or four cigarettes a day does nothing.

All I'm asking you to do is be realistic. If not it's only political posturing. Now you should look at how many people died in mass shootings every year and compare that to other deaths. If you think it's worth repealing the Second Amendment to cut down on the 20 or 30 or even 40 or 50 deaths a year...

So when nutjobs in Antifa attack people, it's called left-wing/leftie/libtard violence by people on here, but now that it's right-wingers in El Paso pulling the trigger, I'm keeping the "hate rhetoric going". Give me a break. I'm calling it for what it is: extremist, anti-immigrant right-wing violence, fueled by rhetoric coming from the right-wing community.
And frankly, I don't really give two fucks if you take exception to it being called that or not.

You already knew this is how they'd react. You asked the question at the beginning of the thread but you knew the answer
- Any Muslim that does something like this is part of Islamic extremist terrorism
- this guy is just a crazy person. Not a trend or part of a group
- he's not a terrorist. No way.
- he isn't right wing at all. He only wanted fame. Definitely his only motive
Smh. Just head in the sand shit. No problem jumping on all of this stuff when it fits their narrative but heaven forbid when the shooter looks like them or can be linked to their political beliefs.
And yes Steve, 8chan matters here because it's a breeding ground for right wing extremism. That's a fact.

At least some prominent conservatives have the decency to call a spade a spade on this issue:

Beto O'Rourke links 'racist' Trump to El Paso shootings
AOL.COM 1 hr agoDemocratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Saturday blamed Donald Trump in part for the deadly El Paso shootings that killed 20 people because he said the president’s “racism” leads “to violence.”
O’Rourke attacked the president when he was asked by an ABC News reporter if Trump had any responsibility for the shootings.
“Yes,” O’Rourke flatly responded.
“We’ve had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years, during an administration where you have a president who’s called Mexicans rapists and criminals,” said the former Texas congressman and El Paso native.
“He is a racist, and he stokes racism in this country,” O’Rourke added.” It does not just offend our sensibilities; it fundamentally changes the character of this country and it leads to violence

How has banning drugs worked out?
What? You mean there are still drugs on the streets? And people still die from overdosing? And an entire underground industry exists that creates violent crimes pushes illegal drugs out into the streets?
But surely banning guns won’t have the same effect.

1) Then legalize drugs. Why have any laws then?
2) Drugs hurt the user

Violence against others because of their nationality or race is one of the most despicable type? Seriously? I would say every act of violence against any human being for any fucking reason is equally despicable. If I had to drag them I would think that shooting children in school or beating raping and killing a woman would be more Despicable.
But of course no saying person thinks this kind of action is cool. The discussion has nothing to do with sanity.

so drug addicts don't cause problems for society? Good to know.
Are you willing to go the direction of Australia and England? If not, why not?
