colhint Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think people should only comment on this thread if a week goes by and no mass shooting. That really would be news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the shooting did take place at "The Boarderline Bar & Grill" so you never know... and once again for those keeping track this one will as it looks now be the second deadliest mass shooting of the year in the US, just passing the one in Pittsburgh last month.

Poor efforts. Saying that, the NRA or whoever will probably just redefine the term "mass shooting" and claim that they're declining.

sne Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Shooter was an ex marine. 29 y.o white guy. Mental health it is then. Nothing to see, move along folks. Edit: For some reason it is being reported he was "heavily tattooed" so that might be an angle they are trying to spin somehow?

villakram Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 ...and just as was the case in Parkland, this individual had a number of significant previous interactions with law enforcement including one call out where the shooter was evaluated for the possibility of an involuntary mental health detention. He was deemed ok. See, it's not the guns fault. Enforce the laws. Thoughts and Prayers etc. So bloody crazy, and it's so common that whatever Trump/Kanye/Beyonce/Gronk says next will have it off the news and forgotten. Supposedly some of the patrons were also present in Vegas last year when that country music festival massacre occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has talked about a fondness for guns, so if he wants to own one himself he would kind of have to make them more accessible to the mentally ill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will we realize that it should be mandatory for all citizens to be armed at all times? Will someone think of the children? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Is it a sign of our collective numbness to the unrelenting grim tide of mass shootings that several of us can throw in such off hand quips about arming the drunks and building walls, yet there is no thought that this could be offensive to the victims or the survivors? Compare it to the national convulsions at the cardboard Grenfell. My heart utterly goes out to all these people, it just feels so pointless and so avoidable. I thought it fascinating that Trump can toss out the idea of changing the constitution to stop syrian honduran ninja jihadi babies becoming citizens. But you can't stop the mass shooting carnage, because constitution. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm praying so damn hard. Imagine how many people would have died if I hadn't sent all of these prayers? It's exhausting to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
