    This is a shockingly open and callous sound bite. At least he isn't even pretending to dress up his inaction with rhetoric.

    I don’t think you’re grasping what I’m saying, I’m not implying any causation or sole cause. Testosterone makes people bat **** crazy and aggressive , I doubt that’s the sole cause here. But denying that just makes you looknstupid

    again you’re not capable of thinking outside the little box you’re constraining yourself. Coupled with the fact you think I’m a conservative shows everything

    I actually agree with an assault weapons ban, there’s no reason to carry such firepower.

    Focusing on why each individual shooter in these scenarios ultimately becomes a shooter is textboook missing the forest for the trees. Every shooter could have a different reason. Maybe this one was hormones. Maybe the last one was child abuse PTSD. Maybe another one was adderall. Maybe another one was mommy issues. Who cares? They all have one thing in common that can be regulated.

    Disgusting. Just another middle aged white male Republican who would probably vote no to gun reform, no to free or affordable healthcare, and no to funding and expanding mental healthcare treatment facilities.

    Just another photo of the leading cause of death among the youth of our nation.


    Hard to believe it's been 22 years since P.O.D came out with "Youth of The Nation", and things have only gotten worse.


    That congressman is almost openly admitting that his NRA and gun lobbying overlords won't let him care about making any changes.

    No wonder they want to do away with the department of education.

    They want to miss the forest. Extra bonus when focusing on trans leaf.

    Continued threats of violence from the hate-filled left. A day after a premeditated hate-crime massacre of six innocent Christians and a day after a stabbing of a Rand Paul staffer. How should America deal with the surge in left-wing violence? They have been given a free pass by the media for way too long.

    Why does everyone get off in politicizing everything, is the true question?


    How about we just condemn all violence?

    As usual, you lead with hyperbole and not facts, to be fair I dont care what side does this type of BS, they should all be prosecuted.......but to once again disprove you, just the facts sir

    Now do the stats for this week. Sit down, your timing is disgraceful.

    Cherry picking a think tank's study that was published in a European newspaper is hardly compelling.

    The left is growing increasingly violent and what is most worrisome is that their violence has the full approval of their conscience. These people have no moral code whatsoever.
