    Mexico has far worse, but in other parts of the world they have different mass killings. In most cases they use explosives instead of guns. Some countries the crime dejure is acid attacks. Or like in CHina it is knife attacks but their regime is a lot more strict then ours. Japan had gas attacks in subways last time I checked (been awhile). Guns are our thing for our criminals

    Would that be like the bangers in Chicago with their guns? Already 11 dead this week in the pregame warmups with the weekend shooting game on. Yet not a White bigot, redneck or trailer trash denizen involved. Just African Americans. Go figure.

    There are blacks, both upstanding and otherwise all over the world, but the USA is the home to more White Supremacist groups than anywhere else in the world and the election of a black POTUS sealed that stat...

    Why do people attempt to diminish the atrocity that this racist beast perpetrated by pointing to other issues? Just sayin'.

    We can just focus on this, if you like. He was arrested, yes? Charged with 9 counts of homicide, yes?

    anything else? Nope, we're just focusing on this "racist beast".

    I think that tis type of crime needs focus so that others might be avoided. The absolute confessed racist agenda this turd held needs to be addressed since White Supremacist groups have been on the rise at an alarming rate.

    I thought we were focusing on just this incident. Those other things are other things.

    Then why don't we talk about the Black on White atrocities that the media conveniently ignores. Or did that fact escape your little bleeding liberal brain?

    The consitution is the past, the present and the future.

    It is forever.

    Or let's just get rid of free speech too. after all, it is an antiquated idea and the founding fathers couldn't ahve forseen the coming of television, movies, and the internet now, could they have?

    oh, wait, maybe in giving us free speech and things like right to due process, benefit of the doubt, protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right of women to vote, the end of slavery, oh, and all kinds of things that are just antiquated ideas of the past is actually a foresight into our present and maybe into the future.

    George washington warned us about the dangers of political parties. Now look what's going on today.

    Ah well. Who cares about inalienable rights anymore. They are just an antiquated idea anyways. Let's jsut use the constitution as toilet paper because rights should only be for me and nobody else.

    Because I'm special and better than everybody else.

    DOWN WITH THE CONSTITUTION!

    YEEEEEEARGH!

    Kinda irrelevant in this thread. You'll find most mass shootings in America have been perpetrated by white males.

    You'd sooner get beaten with a hammer in the UK or Ireland or Greece, than shot in the US. There is actually far more VIOLENCE in countries in EU than VIOLENCE in the US. As long as you're not hanging out in the hood, which no one visiting does.

    Yup, and most homicides are perpetrated by blacks, who make up a fraction of the population compared to whites? Want to know whats RELEVANT? That. The easiest way not to get shot or murdered in the US, is not live in areas where black people congregate. Whacked statistics, huh?

    Supply stats and facts as to what you are referencing as I did and then even go so far as to start a thread about them if you think they are in need of even further discussion.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I was on point so what are you talking about? Do you even know?

    No, you brought up a lot of things like racist groups and "crimes of this type" that have nothing to do with the actual incident.

    But if you want to discuss crimes of this type, or reasons why they are committed, then that's okay too. Just make up your mind.

    Do you need to borrow my glasses to read what part of the world is having the most problems with guns? That's right, the one that has the most guns. So yeah, we are "already" seeing how much more worse it is, when you have more guns. Looks like the end result of the second amendment to the Constitution, has been more guns and more dead people. Congratulations! The second amendment finally did us in. We are the winner, with more red dots than anyone.

    Sure we do. They are basically human rights that can't be taken away, sold, or transferred. Nothing is mentioned however in the definition about having the right to execute people in mass. So yes, Pardy is right. There is room to amend the Constitution. And yes, he is also right in saying that the framers were never talking about waging war with guns that fire 100 round clips in a short period of time. The NRA and others have exploited the second amendment to fit their desired business model and the suckers buy into it.

    The drug cartels killed so many with guns down there, they didn't have room for so many dots.

    And how are you NOT e4xploiting people with anti firearm legislation and actions?

    I'm sorry, but I really can't see any difference than you, except that you're probably just going by what other people have said about the NRA without looking at their own information.

    Yes, they are taking away rights. Not exactly just because they want to, but in the end, it's all the same. For security measures, or whatever, our rights are seeing a sort of restriction and, no, there is no way to tell if we will always have the rights we have in the present. Things can and seem to always do go down hill...eventually.

    A criminal and mental background check is what reasonable people want. And most people aren't interested in taking your guns away. I have plenty of guns, and I'm not worried about that at all.

    Please we can start with the Newsome-Christian murders that never got traction from the liberal press. Sorry to burst your liberal bubble but Blacks dominate interracial crime and its supported by DOJ and FBI UCR stats. Liberals are the most deluded people on the planet.
