Every two weeks? That means there have been ten this year. List them.

Thanks. I had been traveling and didn't have all the details. How many do you think he could have killed in the store with a machete and hammer?

Facts be damned....
A mass shooting on average of once every two weeks is not a problem in your view? I don't see that as fake outrage, I see it as pretty well justified outrage.

There is no other civilized country in the world with that kind of abysmal statistic. But you see no problem with all those innocent, dead Americans, and would be perfectly fine to let the killing keep right on at that pace. No need to even talk about it.

Amazing.

So, you say you cannot have a conversation with "gun nuts." Did you ever think that is the reason, because people such as you cannot have a honest conversation, because you cannot go without calling anyone names.

So, lets talk, what moer could have been done to prevent what happened?

More laws? Cali, has some of the strictist laws in the country, how'd that work for ya?

Go ahead, tell us....here is your chance, bring facts, not what you read in an article...bring facts backed by a reputable link...

He could have killed a ton with a van and some fertilizer. Or perhaps a pressure cooker and the internet.

He killed 3, is that not enough?

They are dead, it appears how they are killed does not matter to you...FAKE outrage, yes that is what I'm callng you on...

No, I do have a problem with it. However, you will not beleive that a lot of these shooting are gang related. Please inform us of how all these shootings can be stopped, when a criminal is doing most of the shooting anyway.

What's amazing is you and the left cannot justify anything, except...look look a shooting...get rid of all the guns...

Yes...my bad. Otherwise why would sattelites be so damaged by meteoroids. Lol. Still, a gun won't fire in vaccum. So we may never know:-)

We are in the company of some real good countries!
