Shocking events that grab the nations attention are easily used the further a political agenda. Everybody wants to do something. Nobody cares about Tyrone who was gunned down outside the ABC store in the ghetto.

And THAT'S what's so damn terrifying about it. Don't downplay this **** with stupid stuff about liberals or conservatives. Mass shootings happen too much on this country and that SHOULD BE emphasized...not ignored just because more shootings happen in this or that city in certain situations.

You're supposed to be able to see a movie or eat in a restaurant without getting capped.
all good points, the problem is how to stop these rampage killings without violating the rights of law abiding citizens.

another problem is that they get politicized because the shooter used some evil looking "assault rifle", which according to the gun grabbers is deadlier than any other rifle.

Liberals don't care about American lives. Let's follow the lead of the King, BHO. He would gladly hand the keys of the country over to the UN tomorrow so his agenda is advanced faster than he can hide. How many Syrians does he want to bring here? Did he ask any of us if we wanted them here? Who wants to give citizenship to millions of illegal browns from down under? I never had a say in that decision. Who wants to repeal the 2A and disarm American citizens? Liberal scumbags.

Liberals don't give a damn about American lives because they are progressive liberal stooges = non Americans.

Armory is precisely correct. Liberals hate all things American, they want this country to resemble Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, etc. Countries that self **** at alarming levels. Most liberals will blindly follow any liberal/Dem agenda for the sake of conformation.

What a load of garbage from people. Its not "Liberals". Its everyone. we kind of notice mass shootings because its news.

Kinda like how we noticed 9/11 despite the actual % of our population that was killed was incredibly small.

Making this a "Liberals!" discussion is just unmitigated nonsense. You people should feel shame.
