My argument is two-fold.

1- Gun ownership is an inalienable right protected by the Constitution
2- Moral decay is in large part the root of violence, gun or otherwise

How did I kill my own argument? If anything, you killed yours by being completely oblivious to the root cause of increasing violence.

So what is the shooter? White supremicist with a long gun or minority with a handgun?

6 hours later and no update. The cynical side of me thinks that due to no frothing at the mouth from the media, the suspect is probably part of the latter team.

Ok, so my friend an attractive lady home alone with her kid in a rural area one night has her dogs start barking, hubby out of town. Multiple felon, tries to rush her after she opens patio door and fortunately she had a handgun.

Is she a gun nut as you so described? Or was she just not aware of her surroundings at home where someone obviously targeted her?

Male drug customers with little money aren't exactly big targets and you know that. Farmer don't kill chickens if they're laying eggs after all.

I have a number of friends that have done time for similar stuff.

So congratulations on being "street smart" and a more unattractive target for crime and thus discounting the risks others have to face.

Had that conversation years ago with my friend (black) in Chicago. You could drop my white arse off in the projects and his....and I'm FAR more likely to get out of there alive. You know why.

Again, they don't kill the chickens. Priviledge.

We already know the police won't help us and the government is refusing to prosecute and hold criminals. So here we are in 2022 back to the wild west, buy all the bullets you can find
....and learn to make your own. I'm currently in the process of mastering this.

When the country falls we will no longer be able to go buy them.

Can you pass a background check to purchase a firearm?

OK, I'm done. I can understand one shooting. OK, copy cat two. But, a non stop train of them, right in the middle of the worst political battle and global collapse - that's ordered ****. Tell all you want to, it's ordered.

how can any amateur reloader make the primers?

something like 3 or 4 manufacturers have the monopoly and they're overwhelmed with government order backlogs

Ah minority with the handgun it is. Say goodbye to this story as it doesnt fit the narrative. They will especially bury the story if he is an illegal or got there via a Biden plane ride from the border.
