The Dumbocrats never read the Obama care bill before voting on it.

This whack job demonstrates that they will find a way.
Wait till someone finds out how easy it is to make a flame thrower out of a commercial sprayer.

Right here is exactly why you can pass any law that you like. Honest people obey laws. We care what it will do to our lives if we are arrested.

Criminals and head cases don't care. They will find a way to do their misdeeds. Punishing law abiding citizens is never the right answer.

Just think, if this murderer had owned a gun, he could have wiped out a lot more people.

Either mental illness or a president who constantly trashes the homeless, calling them disgusting and disgraceful (while not offering any solutions of course).

Most seriously mentally ill people don’t perceive they are in need of help.

No telling what triggered this guy. We’re his victims known to him or did he randomly attack?
Was the guy under the influence of a substance?
Does he have a history of violence?

Plenty of reports. Here’s one.

It happened at a bar during the wee hours. One of the shooters had been denied service earlier in the evening due to having created problems in the past. He was tossed out and returned later with a buddy and guns. Entered through the back door.
