    Thoughts and prayers don't help. If I were a victim I would not want thoughts and prayers. I would want action and change. It should be time that we call out anyone that says thoughts and prayers, it means absolutely nothing. It's better to stay silent if that's all they're willing to say.

    I suggest you stop racially stereotyping. It’s pretty racist.

    They seem to be a lot more aggressive and less friendly with the other side is unarmed.

    There it is. Should we take away cars...blah blah blah. That old tired bulls*** copout. Do you want to see the stat of school shootings in the USA vs the rest of the world again? I think it was 288 in the US and the next was 8.

    288 to 8.

    How many before you want to actually do something? 300? 400? Do they need to wipe out an entire grade level before you'll give a s***?

    Not gonna lie, the complete horsesh** analogies and excuses ya come up with would make you be seen as borderline mentally disabled here in Europe, it's amazing how much bs someone can spout just to defend an amendment written in a completely different context and meaning.

    Europe has less crime. So in the context here, America should strive to be more like Europe as it relates to reducing crime/mass casualty events.

    Even if you were the most ardent 2A supporter and believe restricting gun rights won’t work and is a wack Liberal idea, what’s the harm in trying something different? What we are doing right now isn’t working. We can all agree on that.

    Conservatives here do say we have a big mental health problem. Maybe they're actually confessing.

    The shooter wasn't bullied.

    The shooter was hand made with care by Daniel Defense and sold for $1870.00.

    Right around that time, the people who made the shooter posted this on twitter.



    Hope it was worth the few hundred dollars.

    I’m sure they have less school shootings so I can think of at least one thing to be envious of.

    GOP:"Now is not the time to politicize tragedy ( This indicates there is a time. Just not so soon.)

    A week later.

    "How about now?"

    GOP: "Too soon! Gotta attend an NRA convention"

    6 weeks later

    "How about now?"

    GOP: "Too soon"

    Next shooting

    "Hey can we talk about this now?"

    GOP: "Now is not the time to politicize a tragedy"

    ad infinitum

    I suggest you just drop it. You decline to answer any of my questions about anything pertaining to those who are discriminated upon or hated by racists and bigots. You liking stereotyping by others, as long as it suits you. Just a trouble maker hell bent on nit picking facts to twist it as racist. Makes me wonder why I ever bothered responding to your uncalled for remark to begin with.
