    He says he was thinking of getting an AR-15. Maybe he couldn't afford it.

    Abolish CPB, abolish ICE, take down the wall, get rid of laws against crossing illegally, give mass amnesty, protect lawbreakers with sanctuary cities, yet that doesn't equate to open borders? So, what does?

    When 20 people get murdered at once, by one guy, at a Walmart... it's a completely random thing that could happen to any of us, or our people, tomorrow. Statistically, it'll happen to somebody next week and the week after...

    If that's true, and CBS has a link mentioning it, this is one of those gamechanging events.

    Well, it wasn't an AR-15 and notice what most people are talking about, what weapon was used and not the real issue, mental health and our sick culture.

    Nobody is campaigning for an unprotected border. To say that they are is just making $hit up.

    Where did you hear that the shooter was a patriot ???

    Europeans use mationalist.

    Americans use patriot.

    Same meaning.

    A true American patriot would use an AR or a M-14 or a M-1 Garand not a foreign rifle like the AK.

    I think the shock is due to the fact that for a mass shooting, people think "that could be me or my family at the mall". For the countless number of single killings people usually assume it is people that have issues on a personal level. Domestic violence, gangs, drugs, crime etc... Something you can mitigate the risk of by common sense or taking precautions. Everyone goes to the mall, send their kids to schools etc... Mass shooting are something that are very hard for an individual to control.

    Its already circulating on social media. People are overjoyed at the thought of this being racism based. The admitted racists are happy of the thought of someone striking at their fictitious enemy, the people who wont admit they're racists too are happy at the thought of being able to blame whites everywhere for the violence of one (possibly two) individuals, and the media is happy at the thought of increased revenue for the length of this news cycle.

    And within that sick culture, you can be old enough to buy an AR-15 before you're old enough to buy a six pack, which seems pretty effed up to me.

    The difference is simple: the left can use one for political purposes and the other they can't.

    Seems he didn't have an AR 15. But I'll guarantee he had shovels full of antipsychotics as well as other psychoactive drugs freely prescribed and on board.

    And behind that all is a racist President, and the white nationalists who are now killing in his name.

    Have they released any detailed information at all about this creep son-of-a-bitch yet? *** UPDATE: We now know that the shooter-suspect who is in custody is named Patrick Crusius

    Link: https://heavy.com/news/2019/08/patrick-crusius/


    When I lived in El Paso in the early 80's it would have been hard to have found a friendlier, nicer, place to live. I know that probably sounds crazy to a lot of you, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. We lived about six blocks from Cielo Vista Mall, and I remember it as one of the most pleasant, enjoyable malls I'd ever been in. This makes no f*cking sense to me AT ALL....

    We need to take people who commit crimes like this and torture them for days on end, and put it all over network TV and the internet -- dragging it out, making it completely HORRIBLE to watch, and then, finally, killing the bastards! I want to see him put into a trash-compactor -- very, very slowly....

    Last reports are the shooter killed 19 people.

    Now watch ''class-act'' Trump blame some random security guard for not doing his job, to distract from his reluctance to tackle gun laws.

    Or perhaps Trump will blame the victims for not shooting back...

    Class and compassion would be about the last things one associates with Trump.

    Someone posted what could be his manifesto on post #104. It gives you some insight on who he is.

    Reading the posts at the beginning of this thread is somewhat interesting........

    what an intense load of bias that turns out to be completely wrong.

    OK, but first can we make AR-15s less accessible to teenagers?

    If MILLIONS of legal gun owners were the problem you'd know about it.

    The prejudice you're displaying with statements like this (and by assuming you know the shooters motives when in this moment in time that has not been determined) differs very little from the rhetoric that any other bigot uses to justify their reasoning and actions. All over the planet, throughout history, regardless of ethnicity religion or other social constructs, bigots have always manufactured lies about people they don't like and used individuals to lay blame on the whole.
