    So what's the current definition of white supremacy? Is it so different than racism? Can you be a white supremacist without being a racist? Or vice versa?

    Why did Trump call for stamping out both racism and white supremacy? Is he answering to the dog whistles from the left or is white supremacy a real problem apart from everyday racism?

    I wanna know. Maybe I don't get out enough, but am a little confused.

    I am going to go out on a limb and bet he was on some sort of prescription drug for his mental well being.

    Very, very, common in these cases.

    When you...

    (a) break the family unit
    (b) get the kids on prescription drugs
    (c) take away Freedom of Speech​

    Expect young men to snap. Fix those causes and we will be better off, but that is not what Leftists want. They want the problem, so they can start seizing guns.

    It isn't a "time will tell". There has to be 38 states to change the 2nd amendment. 15 of them will do it right off the bad, the West Cost and Hawaii, and the New England States. That leave 23. NM will probably join, as will illinois. That leaves 21. And those stares like in the deep south, Texas, and central stares.

    I agree, poverty plays a huge role but the people in poverty, in a lot of cases are there for a reason. Thanks for posting the study.

    I don't consider the NRA an enemy, nor do I consider the leadership an enemy. An organization that gets attacked and proceeds to fight back, especially for Constitutionally guaranteed rights, is fine with me. In act, it's appreciated. But we can disagree.

    The fact of the matter is that is enough people get fed up, you'll have change whether or not you or I agree with it.

    So if I give up my 2nd amendment right can you guarantee there will never be another mass murder in America?

    The fact of the matter is that there is nothing wrong with the 2nd amendment... America will always have the right to bear arms, but it's incumbent on our government to determine what sort of arms they have the right to bear... Pretty much nothing in the Constitution doesn't come with additional controls except this, it seems

    Muskets = OK
    Hunting Rifles = OK
    Target/Sports Shooting = OK

    It's like they missed the recent story out of Japan - 30+ murdered with fire, or the fact that the worst school massacre (40+ murdered) used explosives... the truck attack in Nice, France killed 80+... Homicidal sociopaths will always find a way.

    Neither does the us and we have adequate regulations.

    We are better than other Western nations and your claim of a complete lack of regs is an outright piece of fiction

    If it stopped one mass murder, how would you have been disaffected?

    Donald Trump never advocated for white supremacy, nor issued any racist statements in his tweets or other forms of communication.

    While you and I might agree that there is nothing wrong with the 2nd amendment, if enough people feel otherwise, you'll have change. That cannot be denied. We cannot go against the will of the people.

    There is no evidence the mental health in the US, or the treatment thereof, lags other nations, so the amount of mass shootings in the US corresponds to the amount of guns and the capability to acquire a gun. There is evidence rhetoric has fueled the White Supremacist movement in the US. I've recently seen evidence of increases in hate crimes following tRump visits to areas of the country. You reap what you sow.

    The NRA was once a respectable organization that championed gun safety and it isn't anymore. Their position for many years has been to oppose any gun legislation or restrictions and registration requirements. The NRA is part of the problem and not the solution, they obviously lack the backbone to stand up for what is right, putting public safety first.

    Arguing which political ideology is behind the Dayton, OH mass shooting doesn't make much sense; it's possible a mass shooting might not involve a political ideology and many don't. What should be of interest is the shooter used body armor, killed and injured so many in such a short period of time and we were very lucky outgunned police officers were present to neutralize the threat. I don't find it wise to allow such an assault capacity to be easily purchased in the USA.
