Liberals say Trump and Republicans are white supremacists but at the same time want to disarm law abiding black citizens.

If Trump and his base are 'literally' Hitler, the last thing we should do is take guns away from minorities.

Gun control has a history of being rooted in racism as a liberal Uni of Maryland professor noted on Tucker Carlson's show.

In the US it is all about the money. These profiteers don't care what they destroy or who they kill just as long as they make a buck.

I have always been for allowing people to own weapons, but those weapons have changed over the years. Most people had weapons they used for hunting and target shooting. Most of those rifles were bolt action. Somewhere sanity went south and now gun owners are only happy possessing the fire power of an entire infantry group. I now believe that all rifles should be limited to bolt action only and limiting the magazine quantities on pistols.

The writers of the 2nd Amendment never envisioned the AR weapon that can fire 15 rounds per second. They didn't foresee the five year old child dead on the floor from an unlocked weapon. However, the NRA has re-written the 2nd Amendment for their own benefit.

It's called freedom of speech. It's just below the other amendment the Democrat totalitarians want to see gone. It doesn't only extend to Democrats calling everyone Hitler, racist, white nationalist, deplorable, astroturf, and threatening to do terrible things to people they don't agree with.

"The writers of the 2nd Amendment never envisioned the AR weapon"

The did NOT ban the "normal" gun of the time. that was EQUAL to what the British Army had.

If they didn't ban those guns, what makes you think they would ban ANY new guns.

I DON'T think you know much about the writing of the 2nd amendment.

IF you DID, you would NOT such ignorant statements. It's IMPOSSIBLE to have an HONEST intelligent discussions on issues when one side does NOT know the subject matter.

For the MILLIONTH time, the SEMI-auto WAS around back then. Private citizens OWNED CANNONS AND WARSHIPS.

How many canons could fit on a warship? Imagine ALL one side being fired at the same time.

"The galleon was heavily armed. It typically carried 74 guns, with 36 each of these being mounted on either side of the ship. The two remaining guns were mounted aft.

IF what you think is true, why weren't THESE ARMS banned?

If you knew anything about history, historically, whenever there are incidents like El Paso and Ohio, people panic and they feel guns will be a worthwhile investment. Nothing new, and 99.9 % of those people will never see those guns again, they will lay in some drawer or closet and collect dust forever.


Think of it this way, if a hurricane was threatening, do not people always panic and run to the stores to load up on food, water , etc ? Same here, hysteria is driving them to panic, does not mean they are now gun converts who will carry them around, everywhere they go, like some of the gun nuts we see out there.


Then it will calm down, sales will sag, until the next crisis.

Dream on. We have a Constitution to protect us from fascists (liberals), so despite the heartfelt desires of every lib to limit the rights of everyone in the nation, they cannot do so. This is why libs hate the Constitution, as it is an impediment to their totalitarian goals.


T-310 is a gun dealer, so he makes a profit by gun sales. Why do you think this is so terrible? Do you hate auto dealers? Knife dealers? How about the people who make milkshakes that liberals throw on people?


Liberals and liberal politicians encourage violence against conservatives as a matter of course. So when violence occurs, why are you surprised? Perhaps libs should clean up their own act and stop fomenting violence and committing assault against everyone they disagree with. That would be a great start.


Remember, it was dems who were burning down buildings in the 60s and setting off bombs. It was dems who used dogs and water cannon against civil rights marchers. It was dems who imprisoned Japanese Americans in WW2. It was dems who used lynching as a means of "justice". It was dems who had many politicians in the the KKK. Dems now have ANTIFA and BLM as "shock troops" to commit acts of political violence.

After the week we just had if you can't see a problem with a gun dealer bragging about the profits he has made indirectly from this tragedy you have just proven that you both have no soul.
