    In my opinion it’s not about the guns, it’s partially about the victims and it’s always about the shooters. When the shooters belong to the wrong group all hell breaks loose in the media and our politicians jump on the graves of the victims. When the shooters belong to the right group the story get little coverage and is swept under the rug. How long did the Waukesha mass murder story stay in the headlines? A day? Two days? And who got blamed? The car.

    How is it that the headline does not mention the race of the perp or victims? Isn't that standard? Help me understand.

    Oakland won’t release videos of crimes committed on their transit system because they don’t want to perpetuate stereotypes.

    Many colleges and cities who release descriptions of criminals because they don’t want to perpetuate stereotypes.

    Just by doing the above, Oakland, colleges and cities are telling us who the criminals are.

    But hey, white people are the most lethal threat this country faces.

    More and more these days names and races of perps are omitted for political reasons. Unless it's a drunk Amish guy.

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/ohio-deputy-drunk-amish-guy-buggy

    Ohio officers responded to 911 calls stating that a buggy was 'all over the road' and found a 'drunk Amish guy' passed out as the horse pulled him along

    When a shooter fits the liberal MSM's narrative they give it wall-to-wall coverage. The Buffalo shooter was just an 18-year-old nut case. He is insane -- period. His brain had not fully developed. To go after all republicans is wrong. To go after all whites is wrong. To call a group of people racist because they have the same skin color as the shooter is wrong. To call for gun control is wrong. But cowards and fools will use the shooter to bolster their own prejudices. Shame on them.

    A shooting only matters if it can be used to push a narrative.

    No clue how African Americans can continue to tolerate this diminishment of their human agency.

    I think the only thing they have at this point is sculpting the image that all police are out to kill a black man, and vague promises of reparations in the distant future. (No need to actually hand out that money to every black person, just hand out a couple of million to a few prominent black victims and cover it in the news)

    Let's hope it's not the latter.

    But then I wouldn't blame them if it was .. since that was always the goal of the white overlords. Dangle that carrot right into the trap of helplessness and anger.

    You didn't hear about the other 8 mass shootings this past week either. The easy availability of guns is certainly a problem in the US

    Any gun that kills is always in the hands of a human. Guns don't hunt you down and shoot you. Guns don't demand your money. Guns don't just go off. Guns just lay around and look like a magnificent piece of precision hardware. I would have no problem going to sleep with guns all around me. But there are some people I would not turn my back on, unless I had a gun.

    And don’t forget, Democrats NEVER have a problem with guns when they’re wielded by highly paid personal security. They just don’t want anyone else to have that same security. To the wolves with ye’.

    Pelosi can ban every gun as long as it’s also those protecting her old worthless skin at tax payers expense. And she can knock down every wall as long as it’s also the ones protecting her homes paid for at tax payers expense.

    The easy availability of guns makes any of those tasks much much easier, more than any other weapon

    There was a time when you buy a gun via mail order through the Sears catalog. Guns didn’t changed, people did.

    So?
    When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
    Law enforcement can't even keep drugs off the street.
    Law abiding folks don't do drugs. Law breakers do drugs.
    Law abiding folks give up their guns, law breakers will have guns.

    None of that will change even if guns were outlawed.. This country can't even stop humans from entering this country illegally let alone tons of heroin, Fentanyl, cocaine or firearms or any other contraband that people are willing to accept and pay for.. And there will always be people willing to smuggle ANYTHING in to this country that will turn a dollar..

    It's a ridiculous argument meant for people with limited real world experience and simply looking for something to pound their fists about :roll:

    Yes, like far-Left Democrat, Rahm Emanuel, famously said, "Never let a crisis go to waste...." 8)
