These shooter’s have one thing in common. They are all Godless losers.

I think what’s happening is the Derp State and Dems are authorizing mass shootings like in El Paso and Dayton, because Trump’s economy is roaring and the Democrats running against him are utterly futile.

That is a good take. Give all sides something to complain and argue about.

"The gunman walked into the Walmart with a ".223-high capacity" rifle, extra magazines, eye and ear protection"

You would think somebody would get something right for once. If the images attributed to Walmart surveillance cameras are legitimate, then the gunman was carrying an AK-47 style carbine, which is not a ".223" rifle. That is also what his purported manifesto says he intends to use.

The "eye protection" the shooter is wearing look like his normal glasses.

Last I read a few hours ago the guy is on some heavy left wing vibe.

Has to be, had no value for human life and the further left you go, the less you value others over ideology.

Gee no mention of the 3-4 shooters dressed in black that a eye witness was interviewed about on you tube.

AK-74 looks just like it and is .223.

These shooting prove that all the king’s horsemen cant protect you from one madman (wolf). Your choice is simple, be a victim (sheep) or fight back (sheep dog). I choose the sheep dog.

manifesto reads like the New Zealand shooter.

Environmentalist. To much plastic waste, hating on oil companies and urban sprawl. climate issues seem to be the underlining issue for them.

Ak-74 is chambered in 5.45×39mm. Either the caliber was wrong (probably) in report, or it was a conversion.. Though I don’t know why someone would take a Russian arm and convert it to .223.

The Kalashnikov platform can be and indeed is chambered in at least three calibers commonly imported or manufactured. 762x39, 223 rem/556 Nato, 545x39 (and 762x51). So, just because it looks like an AK47/74 from profile, does not mean much, it may well be chambered in 223/556.

As a renowned politician once stated “ what does it matter at this point?”.

The fact is nutcase murdered people, whether the means to so do was a flamethrower, a propane tank or a pick up truck or a firearms is immaterial at this point. Look to England- firearms are banned for the most part, so knives are common weapons, now pointy knives are being banned. Soon, Brits are gonna have to eat baby food....while crazies beat them about the head with a glass bottle....

We need to arm ourselves at every lawful opportunity, stand ready and insure that our elected officials know that we will not part with our arms and that they need to fix the problems that actually drive these atrocities into fruition. It ain’t the guns (o r knives or vehicles or gas cans and matches), boys and girls, its the idiots behind them.

El Paso County District Attorney Jaime Esparza has vowed to seek the death penalty against 21-year-old Patrick Wood Cruisus

Enough with the Leegull System theatrics.

You know he did it, trot him out back of the courthouse and give him a 5-step head start.

The continuing pretense that we have to drop a bunch of taxpayer dollars to verify that the sun rose in the East is getting tiresome.

... ".223-high capacity" rifle

The photo I have seen clearly indicates an AK. I was not aware AKs had high capacity .223 mags.
