    Here we go again... roll out the usual gun-grabber cadres screaming for removal of the 2nd Amendment rights of the entire population of the United States....

    I hope they catch this guy alive. A good bet would be that he's another crazy bastard who never should have been allowed to come into possession of a weapon in the first place!

    We need a real death penalty and not one enforced after 25 years of appeals. And the executions should be public.

    The shooter is identified as Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois.

    Let's investigate further:

    1) City Morton, IL

    2) Morton, IL is located in Tazewell County

    3) Tazewell County POTUS Vote 2016:

    Trump 60%

    Clinton 32%

    Conclusion:

    Yet ANOTHER Trump Supporter (who never should've had access to a gun in the first place) blows a gasket.

    This guy has Trump Supporter written all over him.

    My heart goes out to the victims of this MURDEROUS 2nd-Amendment Hugging Psych Case.

    Reinking is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with Trump's America.

    Thanks a lot, Trump! :smfh:

    Most of these nuts are suicidal. The death penalty doesn't work and is too costly.

    I am not going to read into the politics of this guy. He seems crazy. However he is clearly someone who shouldn't have had a gun and our gun laws are way to permissive.

    It is noteworthy that a good guy without a gun managed to stop the shooting when the gunman paused in the shooting. Semi automatic weapons are a huge issue.

    And once again law enforcement had previously 'been in contact' with the perp. We need to start locking the crazies up.

    He stopped to reload, leaving himself vulnerable.

    At the very least his access to firearms should have been investigated.

    This is just a copy and paste post that I just made over on a Parkland shooting thread.

    Look at what we saw this morning in Nashville, Tn.

    A naked millennial snowflake armed with an AR shot eight people killing four at a waffle house.

    One unarmed alpha male or beta male diffidently not an omega male fell back into a restroom and his brain housing group kicked in... " improvise adapt and overcome." He came up with a game plan and when the time was right he executed that plan and charged at the armed snowflake, tackled him and disarmed the snowflake.

    No other Western country have a law like the 2nd Amendment.

    And no other country has so much shooting each year as US.

    Ah, I would not doubt it. I have a real world example of what bath salts can yield when ingested.

    I know of a young couple, both meth heads, who bought some meth but it turned out to be bath salts, whatever chemicals are in it. Well, they went on a crime spree, with the female kidnapping a pastor's wife. This girl had shown up in a rural area, and got these older people to the door, telling them that her child had been kidnapped. (she had no children) The pastor's wife agreed to take her to town to the police station, to only get herself kidnapped and robbed of her cash she had in her purse along with stealing the old lady's car, leaving the lady on the side of a rural road. This young woman was literally out of her mind, and done things she would never do, thanks to the effect of the chemicals. Well, she was later arrested, tried and sent to prison.

    So, this stuff people are ingesting can create behavior that normally a person would never do. I was told that the criminal had no recollection of doing those crimes. And I can believe that.

    So your saying that liberalism and political correctness is like bath salts, it creates a behavior that normally a person would never do.

    Ha ha. No, not what I am saying. But of course we do know that conditioning can affect behavior, and that is just a no brainer. I was conditioned in boot camp to be a killer of men. That it helped to save my own life in combat is a given. But then, when being shot at, with the next bullet perhaps having your name on it, most of us revert to what allowed us to survive as a species and start killing back. The drive to survive and the drive to procreate, are very strong within humanity. If not, we would certainly not be here today.

    I have found that this new modern liberal, the faux liberals being what I call them, is a conditioned state of being. It is taught behavior and belief in large part. That many of their beliefs are generated from a denial of reality, and thus a disconnected from reality belief, creates many problems and solves none. I think the same of conservatives, that some of their deeply held values and beliefs are a disconnected from reality value or belief. So it is prolific on both sides, and not sure which one is the worse, when speaking of disconnection.

    This explains why this old man, this old FDR kinda guy, has values and beliefs that come from the traditional libs and progressives, but also with other issues embraces the conservative and libertarian views and beliefs. But I am a pragmatic kind of person too. The modern liberal has no idea about being pragmatic, IMO. It is ideology over all else and the same can be said about many on the right. I cannot be a member of such groups. I am liberal, progressive, conservative, and libertarian depending upon the issue. I think any clear thinking person has to be like me. lol.
