Donald is incompetent.

A world of sh^t.

Somebody said 4 killed in Benghazi, three years of Congressional investigation. 30,000 a year killed from gun violence, whatcha gonna do?

The gunman was an admitted 'conservative republican' meaning he listens to Limbaugh, supports fascists like Trump, was groomed and inspired by tea party hate speech and armed by the NRA.
The root of the problem is two-fold, right wing hate from the likes of Palin, Trump, Limpballs etc
and readily available guns and ammo thanks to the gun humping NRA.
Any solution to the problem runs right through the 2.
I stand with our President, I pray he can come up with something to end this madness.

Kind of makes the whackos look just that much more insane.

In 2014, Muslim terrorists killed 2 Canadians

In 2014, American gun owners killed 48 Canadians.

This proves that American gun owners are 24 times more dangerous than Muslim terrorists.

The way to eliminate the monthly mass shootings in the US is to repeal the Second Amendment an to declare the NRA the terrorist organization it is.

Here in Canada, as in all other western nations that lead the US every way that counts, owning a gun is an easily revokable privilege and not any kind of so called "right" at all.

In 3 major rulings, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that owning a gun is neither a specified nor an implied right, but that owning a gun is an easily revokable privilege, as owning a gun should be in the US.

I think The Donald speaks for most of America.

line of fire, he'd change his tune. Countries with strict gun laws aren't the free for all shooting galleries we've become. The well regulated militia is a concept whose time is long past, and the founding fathers would no doubt be appalled by how their words have been twisted to justify mass carnage in the 21st century. Sadly, if Newtown wasn't enough to budge the gun nuts and the legislators owned by the NRA, nothing can.

Douche. He reasons as a child does, rarely and in a very simple manner.

"Yea that sucks, but small price to pay for our sacred, holy, Jesus-given right to bear arms"

Such good, moral, wholesome Christians

so sensitive
so articulate

I wonder how long it took him to memorize his answer??

... would be like cutting off a bald eagle's testicles, or something.

disobeying them?

As childishly dishonest and childishly illogical as the bloodthirsty children that they are.

It's a challenge. On many levels.

The first challenge is to get weapons and ammunition into the hands of mentally ill people. My friend's Lady Wife who is a Psychiatrist says that about 3% of the population is more or less mentally ill. Of course, most of these people are harmless, just sick and trying to get through the day as best they can.

The second challenge is to make sure the ones that are dangerous shoot the right people. You know, small children, but the kind who go to public schools. Also older students who are ordinary people just trying to better their lives. And of course Jews, Muslims, Sikhs and those of other faiths and let's not forget: People of Color.

The important thing is that the wrong people don't get shot. Those would be republican politicians, right-wing-hate-radio talkshow hosts, shyster evangelical pastors, hedge fund managers. And of course Wayne Lapierre himself!

I'm thinking Wayne must get nice letters and perhaps even awards from people in Al Qeada and IS, who, although they prefer to do the work themselves, are never the less thankful for help.

Yes, Trump can rest assured he won't get his hair mussed.

...have any kids?

No, I can't ask that.

I wonder and question whether he at least offered condolences to the victims' families?

What's the difference?

No public display of critical reasoning or critical thinking is allowed, ever. At least publicly the candidates can't exhibit it. Obviously Carson and Trump use it in their day jobs.

Great Depression - Hey, shit happens; massacre at Wounded Knee - Rotten, but what the hell: Ignoring New Orleans after Katrina - Nature's a bitch

Nothing we can do - fate's fate

What leadership

and all it takes is someone who loses their cool to act on their desire to kill (insert person or group here) and have America pay attention for five seconds. Then its back to what the Kardashians are doing next.

Of course you can't propose rebuilding any part of the mental health system that Saint Ronald tore down. That would be socialism.

I think he might be one of the GOP candidates most likely to be willing to go against the NRA and implement some commonsense gun-control if he were president.

I think Trump is as spineless as any of the other GOP clown-candidates, and I sincerely doubt that he would ever "go against the NRA & implement some commonsense gun-control if he were president."

he has had "liberal" positions on health care, even hints that he could support single payer. i also think he might be the only person who does not give a shit what the nra thinks of him. i don't have any quotes from him. it is just a guess.

Of course, Trump might support the NRA after a couple of beers, and then not support it after a couple more.

Still, we could do a lot worse than Trump on the GOP side. He actually looks sane and stable compared to the rest of them.

now that would be something to see!

and the fact that he might be the sanest of the bunch is terrifying and yet i guess if he is, good that he is leading

And you lack the capacity for empathy.

But you don't see the rich suffering too much from these things. Yeah, once in a great while a rich person or their child will get in the line of fire. Once in a great while the rich will be conned and their money stolen. But mostly they avoid the crazies they create with their hate media and gun fetishism, just like they avoid the economic crashes they create with capitalism.

We have to have these regular shootings because some rich person is making huge profits off of it. Just like we have to have these regular economic crashes with capitalism because some already rich person is making himself more riches. These things just happen by ...magic? chance?

From the OP:
"Trump on Friday was asked what he would do as president to try to prevent attacks like the shooting at Umpoqua Community College, but he said that there are "millions and millions of sick people all over the world" that make it difficult, no matter how strong the laws are."




"11 Essential facts about guns and mass shootings in America"


(# 8) -- "States with stricter gun control laws have fewer deaths from gun-related violence."

"Higher populations, more stress, more immigrants, and MORE MENTAL ILLNESS were not correlated with more deaths from gun violence.
States with tighter gun control laws appear to have fewer gun-related deaths."

He might as well say "I wanna be President, but only on the good days."
