Quick question on this as I read responses from elected officials on Twitter. Democratic response to shooting: "Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those lost. If we did something about guns last time this might have been prevent." Republican response to shooting: "Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those lost. Pray for the (insert event staff/area/etc), first responders and the community." Which one would you rather hear more of? I would rather not hear it at all because they got their heads out of their asses and did anything.

THe way Trump says “but this is how I view it” is making me see red right now. So much rage for the stupidity.

We can't label what this event was till we know the facts. It is still right now a mentally ill persons attack till we find out all the facts. The narrative at the start to now is all wrong. And to make this worse is listening to the public comment. C-SPAN is inundated by Religions right wing nut jobs talking about its because you took god out of school and government and this is Texas "we do what we want, MERICA". This administration has led to the dumbing down of the United States and just jam it in and make it work. Donald Trump and the republicans are literally raping America. The narrative about the guy hunting him down is all over the place; he is a hero; he shot but he may not have killed him; he may have killed himself, etc. Again as pesto said he may have chased him down but that was after the fact. The damage had been done. Only because he was white. Period. If he had been anybody else it would have already been labeled a terrorist attack and OMG we need to stop letting brown people into this country. That is very true. And from a Muslim person's point of view, whenever I see news of a shooting, I am always afraid to look if the shooter is a Muslim or has that background because then we all get a ton of hate directed at us. It's a shame that the word "terrorist" is only reserved for Muslim people and any white guy who commits these awful acts is just a mentally ill person. The whole thing is just sickening.

CBS News reporting on the reaction from the house. Democrats going back to gun control. Republicans; "Now is not the time." Translation: Wait a week when everyone forgets about it when Trump does something more outlandish.
So sick of this.

We hear the same things when these mass shootings occur. AR-15s and shocking amounts of ammunition. Men of different races, origin, religion, with different motives, but always AR-15s and too much ammunition. But sure, let's focus on the uncommon denominators because that makes sense. Occam's Razor anyone? You would think that the most obvious answer would at least be worth a discussion.

This is disgusting. Children died because some fuckers clerical error. And now the right is seizing on this and saying it was an error so we don't need more gun control.

Oh. My. God. This is horrible. Goes toward my point last page. If they reported it correctly he would not have been legally able to buy a gun. Though he bought it illegally is another problem that they would have to look into.
