My God what the hell is going on in this country? Multiple fatalities. Lives changed forever. Absolutely senseless.
OT: Mass shooting in El Paso
- Thread starter JAMCRACKER99
- Start date
I sure all the thoughts and prayers will help ...
I’m willing to bet the shooter had no/bad/absent parents.
The root of this issue should be at the forefront.
Very sad day.

False Flag Alert!
Not a word about more calls for gun control like he didn't anticipate that.

Who scrambled your prefrontal cortex?
Quite possibly the dumbest take on this board...ever!
Yes. Every mass shooting has been for this reason so this one can only be for the same.
You continue to be one of the most asinine posters on this board.
A lot of people are saying that now. Every time we have a mass shooting, there are immediate calls for gun control. At some point, you have to consider that this might be the reason.
This isn’t about all your opinions. It’s about a bunch of dead fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, etc.
Good grief
Good grief
My thoughts, prayers and heart go out to the victims and their families. Just disgusting beyond any words...
Apparently you can't ask this question because we are supposed to have this discussion later. Don't talk about the fact that we have 122 guns per 100 people in this country (and the next closest country IN THE WORLD is Yemen at 52). Don't talk about the Governor of TX encouraging more purchases of firearms. Don't talk about the lack of resources going to mental health services in this country. etc etc.
As I've said before on this board, if liberals want to band together to change the constitution then we can have a discussion about gun control but there shouldn't be any reason not to pass common sense gun safety measures (other than the gun manufacturer and seller lobby). It shouldn't be scarier for folks to have background checks, trigger locks, training, a separation of ammo and guns in homes, and other measures that almost every country in the world has in place. And before you go squawking about freedom--it is just like having seatbelts and then having annoying beeps if you don't put on your seatbelt or making roads safer. We can have guns in society, but that should come with added responsibility.
(also wouldn't hurt if we had morality in our leadership in govt...it wouldn't hurt if we had rhetoric that wasn't about violence--but that my be too PC)
This is the most embarrassing thing I have ever read on this site. And I have spent a bunch of time in the Round Table.
The reality is that people don’t give a shit because it’s not theirs.
I think they’re doing it to create support for less gun control since every time this happens the “good guy with a gun” argument gains a lot of momentum.
That's not true at all. You still need to work on your OL evaluations.

It's funny how easy it is for people to label terrorist organizations like Al queda and ISIS and get behind attacking them, but we literally have a radicalized group of people that have many similarities in our own country that we refuse to come to grips with.
It’s wrong imo to always blame the parents when a kid turns out bad. Many things come into play with things like this. Yes there are certainly plenty of times the parents absense or upbringing can factor in but genetics, addiction, mental health can all be factors. There are plenty of good families dealing with a situation without needing to hear everything is all their fault.
As I've done every time there is a mass shooting. But if you read the post with any semblance of critical thinking or reading comprehension then you would find a metered argument.
Try it.
But you won't, so carry on in your ignorance...
Guns don't kill, the idiot behind the gun, that pulls the trigger do the killing. Just like cars don't kill, the person behind the steering wheel do the killing.
Separation of guns and ammo in t he home?? I guess you are ok with unannounced police inspections of your home then too...because that is what you would need to enforce that.
But maybe you are ok with that. Why stop there... why not allow the police to stop you at any time and search you, or your vehicle and make you show your government issued papers that permit you to move about the country?
Besides.. "trigger locks" and separating guns and ammo won't stop mass shootings by crazies or crimminals.
Before the clammer for "common sense" gun safety laws... how about clamoring for "common sense" immigration , border security, and voter ID laws... These would do far more for the safety of American citizens than more gun laws that only punish the law abiding.
