    Regarding Trump he actually did do somethings regarding gun control, notably ban bumpstocks through Executive Order. He proposed doing more and famously said that we should take guns without due process. Pelosi was willing to work with him on it but he was blocked by Republicans in Congress.

    Are all mass killings by muslims now mental illness?

    Is Islam any different to white supremacy?

    Yes. Pretty much all mass murderers have mental illnesses.

    We need to state that there’s a difference though in Clinical mental illness and manufactured extremism. Not differentiating let’s extremist political movements like MAGA and the Taliban off the hook for manufacturing mental illness vs clinical mental illness disease.

    One is preventable and manufactured for a political goal. ISIS terrorists are not all clinically diseased. They were manufactured via their circumstance and those who used them used them for a power grab.

    Does Islam pursuade and help indoctrinate thoughts of intolerance? Sometimes the manifesto's verbatim show proof of this. Why not rewrite it to make it more diversity friendly?

    Not a huge difference between white supremacy and Islam

    It's interesting how we define things.

    But i think many of these events fall into that movie category "Falling Down" starring Michael Douglas
    Falling Down (1993) - IMDb

    Apropos of nothing: I find her face so odd. It's as if the empty vacuum in her chest where her heart should reside is sucking the bottom of her face into the void.

    This makes the "insurance" argument... would it work?

    I would support it.

    There is nothing in the Second that would prohibit insurance or registration of weapons.
