of course gun control should be part of the discussion as immigration law should be part of the discussion after the New York attack.Spock;1880312 wrote:Sure but you don't yell for gun control. Gun didnt do it. A person did. The people that do these acts have a screw loose.

I just saw where he was “bad conduct” discharged and not dishonorably. Was discharged for abusing his wife so not sure if he’s a felon or not.superman;1880348 wrote:He bought the gun illegally. Gun control laws didn't work.
More violence from the liberal left.
When people on the left do this, it's the fault of the violent rhetoric from the right.

Update: now their saying discharged for misconduct. So, not sure if he was able to get his hands on a gun legally.like_that;1880334 wrote:The shooter was allegedly a dishonorably discharged vet. Can't own a gun if you are dishonorably discharged.
In August, 2016 71% of Republicans still doubted Obama was born in the US. You are racists and bigots.gut;1880351 wrote:When people on the left do this, it's the fault of the violent rhetoric from the right. When people on the right do this, it's the fault of the violent rhetoric from the right.
IMO, this all has roots 10-15 years ago when the left "weaponized" identity politics. If you disagree with their view, you automatically got your thinking from Fox, and Fox viewers are racist/bigots. It's mainly how they shutdown debate and insulate people inside their bubble from different views. You'll note how the left rarely argues with facts and logic - instead they attribute counter arguments as racist/bigoted so those views can be dismissed without a debate. Trump does the same thing, and the left has gone completely bonkers over using their tactics against them.

We need to have armed citizens at most places of gathering; churches and schools at the top of the list.

What else might have stopped this? You should have to be licensed to purchase all firearms with examinations similar to the way investment advisors & reps have to. Since the latter doesn't violate the 1st amendment neither would the former violate the 2nd amendment. In turn, as QCB has,pointed out before, clearly seems like there's problems with current background check system.iclfan2;1880331 wrote:Turns out the suspect was met (possibly shot at) by an armed citizen which got him to run away. So the citizen should have been disarmed? What else would have stopped this besides a straight up repeal of the second amendment? How do we even know if he owned the gun legally? Certainly wasn’t legal to go shoot up that church.

1. An AR-15 is not an assault rifle since it is not an automatic weapon.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1880390 wrote:I don't question that the guy was mentally ill. However if he had a pistol or even a shotgun, the damage would have likely been way less. I don't know that I can ever see a reason why an assault rifle like this is even available.

Hmmm, so you want to increase the cost of gun ownership? Seems racist....BoatShoes;1880421 wrote:What else might have stopped this? You should have to be licensed to purchase all firearms with examinations similar to the way investment advisors & reps have to.
