As a shooting spree leaves seven dead in California, the gun lobby is trying to thwart attempts to study gun deaths and officials who see gun violence as a public health crisis.
Yet another massacre occurred last night at an institution of learning, this time the University of California, Santa Barbara. The price we paid for the National Rifle Associations freedom was seven people murdered and seven injured at nine different crime scenes.

>>he 3 dudes that were killed by an evil assault knife, are there indications they fought back? Were they asleep? Did he drug them? Haven’t seen anything about that other than 3 were killed by knife.<<
Nonetheless, time to at the very least license knives (registered chefs only) or ban them (all knives must meet Federal Bluntness Standards and be less than 3” long).
It is for the children, after all...
Leave it to a flaming @sshole to claim that seven people were killed in a "shooting spree" when half the victims (the shooter who killed himself isn't a victim here) were stabbed to death.
The NRA is no more responsible for this than the fork & spoon are responsible for people being fat.
This kid was a time bomb. The Liberals who think everyone should be ‘free’ in society, no matter how crazy they are is where the real blame lies, IMO.
Who in the pack of Libs was willing to put this kid into a place where he could NOT hurt anyone?
That is a very short list, if there is a list at all.
Spree/mass-murder shootings are less than 0.1% of murders, but let’s focus on them because it fits our narrative.
They are also counting one of the “murdered”, the suspect who killed himself. All that is important to them is that a gun was used, not the knives, not the car, only the gun. The mindless sheep that read that article and then posted apparently have NO clue of how six of the victims died nor care who anyone else was that perished/injured by anything other than a gun. The purposeful misinformation/misleading of the public by the MSM and the anti-gun lobby continues.
Does the fact that the cities in our Country with the TOUGHEST gun laws also just happen to also have the HIGHEST MURDER RATES register at all with you?
Well, actually, I did read in the Brit Daily Mail this morning that knife control is in effect in Britain. Even kitchen cutlery. I guess the two asshats that butchered that poor guy in the middle of the street didn’t much care about unlawful use of meat cleavers huh?
I blame BMW Motors , after all that was how he got around while shooting... all side windows on cars should be “fixed”.
Weird huh? But, the sheriff said everything he had complied with state laws. The only thing he did illegal was kill 3 people with a gun, 3 with a knife/knives and injure a couple with a BMW. Not counting him (maybe) popping himself. No long drawn out trial where he’d probably get off.
Guess he failed to use the “My dad’s a director on the Hunger Games” line to pick up chicks.
It’s the culture you stupid liberals created that made this insane lunatic. It’s always the object and never the person. This is rich coming from the people who have utter disregard for any moral standards.
Aren’t college campuses gun free zones? What a waste of human life liberal fantasies bring us.
Oh and BTW, just in time to distract us from how our VA system is laying waste to the lives of our soldiers. Pretty amazing coincidence of timing.
yet another young, white male... devoid of social skills, relegated to the world of video games for ALL human interaction, being given powerful anti-depressants like Xanax.... snaps, and kills a bunch of people.
When will we find a way to deal with mental illness in this country? When will we recognize the danger inherent in people forgetting how to interact with each other? When will anyone identify the common link in nearly ALL of these mass murder: Psychotic medication of teenage boys.
So the idiot who wrote this crap article blames the NRA for the 3 who were stabbed to death and also claims the mentally deranged killer mudered himself??
That’s about as intelligent as blaming the killings on the severe case of jaundice the nutjob seemed to be suffering from in his last video...
Any word on what SSRI drugs the evil idiot was taking before he went berserk?
