Mass shooting Sutherland Springs church

[Trill Clinton]

The first thing you see when a mass shooting happens are snowflakes and cornflakes crying about politics. They are more worried about their political views being attacked more than people getting attacked. Don't belive me? Look no further than the top comments on CNN and FOX. Condolences take a back seat to their political views on the issue first.

Because it's time for action. Condolences don't solve .

There is literally nothing that can happen in this country anymore.

If the other side caved even an inch they would be destroyed on cable news as "weak" or "a traitor".

TX asshole grifter Pastor Jeffres bragging on Fox, of course, that his heavily armed church of Macho Man gun fellators would have stopped a bad guy

[unleashbaynes]

It was certainly the solution to stopping this crazy mother er. Get used to the concept that guns are here to stay and bad guys can do bad things with them. Just like rented home depot trucks.

What a stupid ing mentality.

[sickdsm]

Conflicting reports. Self inflicted gunshot wound andyet also the civilian with the rifle shot him in the neck and died after tyre crash because of the wound.

[CosmicCowboy]

What a stupid ing mentality.

It's called accepting reality. There will always be soft targets and ed up assholes to hit them. It would do more to stop mass attacks if the media quit publishing the names and detailed bios of the nut jobs ad nauseum. These losers want to go out in a blaze of glory and thats exactly what we are giving them.

Trash blames mental illness, like the NRA/BigGun does, not high-capacity magazines on (semi)automatic weapons, while cutting funds for mental health care.

The wife-beating shooter, compatible with Repug misogyny, may have been targeting his ex-in-laws, but they weren't there.

Ban all caucassians from entering the country till we find out what the is going on

Just as effective as thoughts & prayers.

on this board, yes

Basically consists of posters trying to one up one another by distorting the issues and their arguments.

But really, this is incredibly sad and at the same time leads to a lot of anger and blaming. These kind of things have become very hard to prevent. We as a society freely accept increases in the death rate via vehicle by increasing speed limits. It's the price we pay for transportation. We call them accidents. People are not ready to accept the freedom weapons provide some. People are not ready to accept these "accidents" as a price for some sort of freedom.

And yes people can readily kill others by using a vehicle as a weapon. But equating this with a device used to projejct small pieces of metal at very high speeds is really very silly. I'd personally rather people just equate a gun to a seat belt that has the added advantage of killing the other person who has no intention of driving safely. It's just as silly.

Life is not truly precious in this country. You might concentrate on abortions. Others concentrate on some "fictional form" of self defense used offensively. We are violent. We would rather kill someone taking our personal possessions than let it go and possibly retrieve stuff later. We would rather kill another person that to lose some sort of personal honor.

Nailed it on the head in all aspects. Very solid, very honest post.

I couldn't help but find it ironic that Trump had to address yet another gun massacre right in front of Japan's leaders...a country with the lowest gun violence rate in the world thanks to their gun control laws. They must look at us like a bunch of knuckle-dragging neanderthals

this perverted asshole so-called Lutheran pastor, his Christianity, his God

Conservative writer: God was ‘answering prayers’ of Texas victims by letting them get shot




“It may seem, on the surface, that God was refusing to give such protection to his Texan children,” he writes.

“But we are also praying that God would deliver us from evil eternally.

Through these same words, we are asking God to deliver us out of this evil world and into his heavenly glory, where no violence, persecution, cruelty, or hatred will ever afflict us again.”

Fiene then says that, in order to fully defeat evil eternally,

God has to let evil get some temporary victories, such as this weekend’s mass shooting.

how many millions of you Bible-humpers will nod your perverted heads "yes, yes, this is how God works, because he loves us"

Yeah, Japan looks great, being occupied by the US for how many years? Pretty sure there are drawbacks to living in Japan that "no guns" doesn't negate.

When you cannot take the toothpick out of your mouth during a live interview on TV, you might be a redneck.

Do you think they consider us knuckle dragging neanderthals with our open borders when they basically let no one in, flat out refuse Muslim refugees and have zero "Terrorist attacks"?

I never had such drawbacks in my 8 years of living there. Learned to speak, read and write the language and got along great with everyone off base. One of the best countries in the world.

Not too hard to stop these. Watched this just last week actually, before the massacre here in Texas.

Study of gun violence shows that women in abusive relationships are the first target in 54% of all mass shootings.

Keep abusers from guns, and you can very effectively stop these things. Many states are starting to pass laws to do just that.

Get convicted of abuse, get your guns taken away, and prohibited from buying any. Pretty elegant, IMO.

Xenophobic, self-defeating economic policies of Japan, are hardly something to emulate.

Oh, I know. I was asking a biased partisan a devil's advocate question.

Yes.

Well our most recent shooter was apparently denied the right to purchase a gun.
I don't know the reason.
