I hadn’t seen that yet...100 rounds?!? Wtf? As a guy who grew up with guns as part of our way of life I didn’t even know that type of mag exists. How the F is that legal?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-chicago-weekend-violence-20180806-story.html Chicago was extra wild this weekend. Add some more that US flag. Six of the shootings this weekend injured four or more people in a single attack, racking up 31 victims early Sunday. Over the weekend, shooters targeted large groups at a block party, a funeral and other outdoor gatherings.
Yes, yes. It is much easier to question other people's sanity than to question your own or to address their argument head on. And it is much easier to move the goal posts and say that poverty and locality driven gang violence and domestic violence is actually the real problem when addressing racially motivated folks taking up arms and going into a mall and other places of public gatherings to randomly kill you and your kids. It has nothing to do with our pristine, stable and best-in-history president. Sitting on his phone or at a rally and saying emotionally encouraging (and racially and politically divisive) things. We have best economy ever and the American Dream is just around the corner (as soon as we have that huge wall to look at). Mass shootings being on the rise is just growing pains. Serenity.
trump tweeting that stronger background checks are needed (as long as he gets his vanity wall)... Less than six months ago...

Apparently magazine size restriction was part of the assault weapons ban that lapsed in 2004. Now only 9 states (and shrinking) have restrictions on mag size (10-15~). Interesting article in the Times this morning about the whole subject: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/05/opinion/dayton-gun-laws-shooting.html
A number of Democrat senators are calling for the senate leader to recall senators from senate recess to work on legislation... and its unlikely to happen:
trump ten minute speech: Says US should condemn racism and white supremacy Says people who commit hate crimes should get death penalty without long delays Says Americans should set aside partisanship Blames the internet and violent video games Doesn't call for any specific action (doesn't mention strengthening background checks, red flag laws, or tying to immigration reform) Has either a teleprompter writing or reading mistake, says Toledo instead of Dayton
"Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul," says Trump, the flesh and blood embodiment of hatred, in remarks at the White House.

Almost everyone misspeaks at some point during a campaign. At least Biden caught the mistake and corrected it soon after. Did trump ever correct the Bowling Green mistake?
