    This thread has a vibe of the left blaming the right for this shooting. Sometimes i am unsure if we are even worthy of sharing this forum with them because they are so righteous.

    You are lucky to be alive.

    Remain armed, pray hard, stay blessed and righteous.

    Well we all have to own our culture. I mean, I understand the political frustration as one party is opposed to even collecting data on gun deaths, but we have four factors:
    * easy access to deadly weapons
    * difficult access to mental health care
    * epidemic of depression and anxiety in young people
    * media industry that profits by making people really mad at each other

    If we could confront any two of those, we could all see progress to some extent.

    It is sick but after watching CNN getting anybody and everybody to recount what happened while benefiting financially from it makes me pause.

    It's far too early to politicize this shooting. Thoughts and prayers. See ya'll at the next shooting.

    You should just post the mass shooting chart. If white, mentally ill. If Mooslim, Mooslim is evil. If brown, crime infested illegals.

    Oh I’m sure, this one doesn’t quite meet your narrative. Italian/Irainian descent.

    Or maybe that they become more bolden because of who is in power.

    I've never had that outlook, I think you know.

    I think pretty much anyone who does these types of things -- targeting random strangers in mass -- is sick in the head to some degree, whether it's a white supremacist, a radical islamist, a Paul Wolfowitz, or whatever this kid was (Iranian-Italian-American misanthrope?)

    The LA Times article is actually pretty useful and fact-filled if anyone's interested. Dude bought this gun in Nevada, where it's legal, and carted it into Cali, where it is not. Reminds one of Wisconsin and Illinois a bit, in that respect. He bought it several weeks ago, so it appears it was more of a plan than just snapping in a sudden rage somehow.

    just 2 pages so far... funny how quiet people get when they can't push their pet narratives.
