I don’t blame Trump but his hate filled rhetoric doesn’t help, time for him to show some leadership.

We don't need this for justifying anything.
We already have plenty of evidence why hateful Muslims should not be in Congress.

Despite their extreme visibility, public mass killings account for the smallest proportion of all mass murders.

Familicides represent the most common form of mass murder and are principally defined by a close victim-offender relationship. Perpetrators are typically White, middle-aged males who target their spouse or intimate partner, children, and other relatives

Fridel found that blacks commit twice as many felony mass shootings as whites (50.49 percent versus 22.33 percent), so it’s not surprising that blacks are overrepresented in this group:

In most instances, the murders serve to eliminate witnesses of a robbery, drug crime, or gang-related attack. Due to their general lack of sensationalism, felony killings are not widely publicized despite representing the second largest category of mass murder

Lets see who has more credibility, The New York Times or a pro-gun blogger? I know what your answer would be.

Celebrate? More like outrage. But you know, who cares how many die as long as the gun nuts have their toys. Right?

Several people in this thread, and a couple of the Demoncrat presidential candidates
are celebrating this shooting, since it allows them to promote their unconstitutional
and unAmerican propaganda.

Just look at all the liars that say things like this was driven by white nationalism or that "we must end this gun violence epidemic" or saying that diversity is making white people crazy, or other such nonsense.

The NYT had two errors I found within ten seconds, see my post responding to it.

Rumors have been swirling around the internet for hours now, but I wanted to wait until it had been verified.

And it's now been confirmed: El Paso Police Chief said in presser that local and federal authorities are looking into a "manifesto" posted by the shooter, in which he rages about Hispanics invading Texas and a hatred for brown people.

The shooter posted this manifesto to 8chan, a far-right extremist group frequented by White Supremacists.

The shooter was not a brown Muslim man or an illegal Mexican, but a homegrown white man that hates minorities.

Trump did take a few moments from his golf game to lob out a quick tweet about this shooting.

Most people still wouldn’t bother carrying, but a few would. And the shooter would’t know which ones in the crowd, they were.
Some of the shooters would likely change their minds and not do it in the first place.
And how many lives would be saved as a result, without a shot being fired?
Huh? This happened in Texas do you really think that no one in that store was carrying a gun? I mean seriously if a shooter wants to avoid citizens with guns they sure as heck wouldn't be doing mass shootings in Texas.

He could personally cure cancer and he would still be villified and demonized on a never ending basis.
