Laws will not make them unavailable. We already have restrictive gun laws that utterly FAIL in making guns unavailable to criminals. More laws won't make one iota of difference. CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY LAWS. How do you not understand that?

Terrorists can only be Muslim. There is no such thing as a white domestic terrorist.

What would happen if everyone stopped race baiting? Would you be bored and not find anything to talk about?

So far it looks like he's just a random nut case.

Terrorist can be as simple as a person anguished because a lover or mate left them, or because they did not get something they want, or get to do something they pursued, including political, religious, envy, bias, greed they can't quench, lust they can't manage or whatever.. it can be anything that one conjures up as a anguish generator that they claim as the motive to go out and harm others...

can you provide statistics on the number of felons shooting people versus people who were not felons before shooting someone?

you are assuming all shootings in Chicago are performed by actual felons. highly doubtful. you need to provide proof for your strawman.

So are you trying to imply they are safer than the US?
Somalia is one of the most dangerous countries. Why? Because there are no laws. Those with the most powerful guns. rule.

Well, since shooting someone is a felony, I'd say it's highly likely all shooters in Chicago are felons.

No, white murderers are just misguided souls upset about the changing culture or some other ridiculous BS.
