If either of those incidents had ended in his conviction, he would have been flagged on the background checks system also.
They probably feared being called racist. So now 12 people are dead.

While we're at it, we need to downsize welfare rolls.

What does race have to do with this tragic incident?

Why does every thread have to have at least one race baiting post in it (often way more than one)?

What color was Adam Lanza? Did you mention race in any of the multiple threads about the Sandy Hook tragedy?

I can't understand why it's allowed, over and over.........

65% is much different than 90%.

How could there be a 25% drop AFTER the vote?

I don't think your post is a good way to prove your point. Afterall, it denotes quite clearly the DROP in support.
I'm not Barack Obama, so I don't speak for him. I'm simply saying this is not a dead issue. Even if Obama doesn't get expanded background checks, eventually another president will.

It was pointed out many times that Lanza being a white male had a greater propensity to commit a spree shooting. Same with the lunatic white dudes in Aurora and Tucson.

(yawn)

No AR-15 was used in yesterday's Navy Yard shooting..... despite strident insistence from liberal fanatics to the contrary.

That is correct.

Even IF he took a rifle from a victim, the military guards there don't have M16s (AR-15). They carry M14s

Well the truth is the truth. That's how you see life obviously we get how you see the world and merely pointing out the fact. Not liking it thrown in your face much?

Right now I don't care. Just so Obama isn't in office

Just thought I would send Obama loving democrats and liberals bouncing off the wall. Ok, got my popcorn.
