    I've always said the reason why some people might think the DP isn't a deterrent is because by the time the guy is executed everyone forgot who he was. Now execute a person while he's still fresh on everyone's mind and people might get the message.

    That matters not one bit. See when Ferguson was swarmed by blacks on the rampage, they did not try to tie Obama to it. But if you want to pursue that route. Fine with me.

    Also an anti-capitalist and pro-green environmentalist .........so it appears that Ilhan and AOC need to tone down their inflammatory rhetoric......

    Clearly you did not read the manifesto that the perp apparently wrote. But don't let facts get in the way of making this about Trump.

    This incident in El Paso was a terror attack, no question about it. Fact remains though that as mass shootings go, in the technical sense, blacks outpace whites by a huge margin... that's not even taking into account the disparity in population.

    Difference is liberals aren't egging on the gangs. Trump stokes this hatred, and we may have finally reached a tipping point.

    Well let me repeat myself.

    Trump essentially said the same thing Obama and both Clintons said.

    My family spent nearly 200 years in West Virginia and western North Carolina (father's side - mom's side) before heading west to El Paso, the Llano Estacado, and finally the Phoenix Metro. I have family throughout the entire South and Southwest.

    Plugging myself into a historical context has been extremely enlightening, which is NOT what a younger me would have imagined. What has surprised me is that this has tugged me left, not right. During this process I've gone from a libertarian to a leftist-populist.

    Slowly but surely Texas is going blue. This shooter **** knew that, and made it an important point in his manifesto.

    Texas has been a major political and economic boon to our people, and you can understand why Texas becoming something foreign is troubling, especially if it weakens our own political strength.

    But there are other ways of reacting to this. The truth is that Northern Mexicans, who I see our Southwestern Latinos is being most akin to culturally, have a great number of values in common with our own people. I would like to see a new political coalition formed around economic populism, the kind that dominated the politics of our people during the late-19th and early 20th centuries.

    Probably a good reason to replace the hot weather .380 with something a little bigger.

    Bad things happen everywhere. We have no guarantees in life. There are bad people and always will be. If they want to hurt you, they will find a way. I at least want to be able to defend myself against criminals if I need to.

    I do conceal if I feel the need to.

    Nope! prefer Australia which has far fewer murders/ mass shootings/ firearm injuries/children accidentally shot/ firearm related suicides and of course does NOT have to treat 84,000 firearm injuries per year at an average cost of over $32,000 per injury

    If we had Australia’s immigration laws this shooting would not have occurred.

    What percentage? Who did it? Who did they do it to? None of that matters in this instance. But you have yet to put up your own pie chart of facts. They are terrorist you said. I think this will be a great discussion thanks for that. So lets go to facts. A battle of sourcing are you game? https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/

    Yep! But I like a society where it is more difficult for bad people to get weapons of mass shooting. You are in a civil arms race. You feel you need a gun because the “bad guys” have guns and so the violence level cycles ever upwards

    A white supremacist responding to what he sees as an invasion.
