You're simply lying. NJ and MD have lower than average crime rates, and lower than average gun-related murders.
In fact, NJ is one of the safest states in the nation.
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.
Oh you mean that fabricated story on Fox News. The two reporters who were attacked because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time; a criminally invested area.
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:
Nukes don't kill people. People kill people. Therefore, nukes shouldn't be regulated.
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.
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.
The AP made it clear immediately... the local authorities deemed it a hate crime automatically.. the NAACP jumped in right away to "comment" and our posters are just as pathetic..smh
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.
The FBI have named the shooter as Dylann Roof, 21, of the Columbia area.
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."
Of course he is - because he's right and you're in denial.
Just read the manifesto by Anders Breivik, the right-wing lunatic who slaughtered 77 children of liberal politicians in Norway. He describes acquiring firearms, which he was able to do but only after travelling around Europe and jumping through one hoop after another for months. 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.
