And it's a nonsense argument anyways, because states alone cannot regulate the flow of guns. MD is next to states with no gun regulation, as is NJ, so it isn't like a single state can affect the overall flow of guns.
Just don't hang out in Camden....

See, that is why we have white people killing black people. I loved the Rush Limbaugh "In Obama's America white kids get beat up by black kids."

You think the crazies don't feed off of that race baiting garbage......look at you
Apparently, Charleston's local newspaper is guilty of spreading the "fabricated story" as well:

The "kooks and criminals all have guns" because guns are cheap and easy to obtain in the U.S. In Europe the "kooks and criminals" don't have guns because guns are expensive and difficult to obtain.

LOL... the common sense is weak in this one

Yet another alienated narcissist with some grudge against society, seeking his 15 minutes of infamy. Just like the Colorado shooter. And other spree/mass killers.

The supposed motive/target may be different, but the underlying themes are the same no matter who.

Someone that feels the world has passed them by, and feeling that the world needs to pay them attention in this fame seeking world of ours. So they have a need to 'validate' themselves by committing an act so heinous and atrocious, their acts will live in infamy.

Are you more upset that 9 black people were killed by a white man or that people are pointing out the obvious that this was clearly a hate crime? Even if race was not mention, we would all still be thinking it.

On another thread about people's names, I posted that I've always found the name "Dylan" to be disproportionately represented among the ranks of troublemakers. And this guy's just adding to my opinion, notwithstanding the extra "N."

Welp, Eddie, considering the fact that he's still at large, it might be helpful to know what he looks like.

Just read the manifesto by Anders Breivik, the right-wing lunatic who slaughtered 77 children of liberal politicians in Norway.

That sort of hassle weeds out most would-be murderers which is why, that one massacre notwithstanding, Norway has a far lower homicide rate than the United States.
What you aren't getting though, is there are over 250 million firearms across the states and those are the just legal ones. So a feel good, band aid type of law isn't going to do squat. Regardless of what side of the fence you are on about firearms that ship has done sailed.
