It ain’t the guns (o r knives or vehicles or gas cans and matches), boys and girls, its the idiots behind them.

True. It was less that three weeks ago a Japanese man killed 33 with a can of gas and a lighter.

It hurts the senses when someone hits the nail on the head.

White people are tired of being well over 80% of the American population, and yet

We’re all racist
We ALL hate...
Blacks
Hispanics
Muslims
Christians
Gay people of all stripes
How exactly is that possible? I am sure that some people feel a certain way about some of the listed people, and some I have not listed off the top of my head, but not all, not even a majority...

Yet, we never hear any White people being interviewed, by that I mean the majority of whites that are not famous, rich, affluent, well spoken, or ... not democratic. If we like Trump, we lose our voice to the media..

We accept that, we are the majority, unspoken, well unheard, mass, that will overwhelmingly vote for Trump, and secure his next 4 years.

If people are not heard on the nightly news, we don’t exist. Who controls that??? The MSM is who, and where can you hear us? On venues like this one and others. We are out there in huge numbers, with loud voices, and rich opinions, but know we will never be heard. So to the population of the US, we appear to be silent, the correct adjective is SILENCED, at least as much as the media can.

The shootings, are a terrible stage play with We the People as the unwitting player. Our deaths are used as a bargaining chip for others agendas. Nobody asks where the bullets came from, who taught the shooter how to shoot, where he practiced, how he was educated into his belief system, and really if he really wrote that 4 page letter. How did he know how to stack and pack his ammunition, and why was his sister and boyfriend gunned down the same day...Its not in the script.

The agenda is to disarm America, to control it. Was this a gun free zone? Not discussed. Why were mall cops not armed? Not discussed. Why 6 minute response this time? Not discussed. The agenda is more important than the incident.
It was not the gun that killed the people, it was the shooter, its a tired but true statement that does not fit the agenda as well. Its a border city, that is currently having the wall built, also not discussed.

Crazy people, some people pushed to do things against their will, some pressured, some with reasons we will never know do terrible things. But look at history, then look at the frequency of these shootings, and the shooters, and it does not take an expert to see something is not right, and I am not talking about the incident.

Democrats and the MSM, Sunday talking heads, have unlimited time to spew rhetoric, but put a Republican on the show, and the are constantly interrupted, never finishing a sentence, and summarily dismissed by the panels after they try to share their views. Summarily hated are the Anchors that control the narrative, and the dialogue, which are injected with increasingly irritating commercials, that sometimes last longer than the show itself. With end results of channel flipping, exasperation, and finally shutting off the Boob tube, and going to the internet for our news.

And of course, I am not talking about ALL Democrats, in fact an infinitesimally small amount of them, that seem to represent the totality, which I am sure ticks the Democrat masses as well...see they are part of the unheard as well.

The people at Walmart are not predominately any race or color. I am not sure which ones you go to, but all of those in my area are a mixture. It is where we go for the best prices, because we are not rich. Those with more money to to Target, and rarely go to the big grocery stores unless for a few specialty items. So lets stop trying to make that distinction people. Who knows...

You might be called a racist...

When everything is racist, suddenly, nothing is racist anymore.

I am no longer angered by the term, I am numbed by its utterance, and that is sad.

What do you mean Townhall is repeating liberal Bullshit. How many times do I have to say Townhall.com posts ob-eds and articles by different authors. It does not write them. This one was written by Beth Bauman,

He doesn’t recommend a universal income. He says that if illegals continue to invade, and companies automate that we will have no choice but to very a universal income.

If I’d been there, packing, I hope I would have been able to pop the perp as efficiently as humanly possible.

If I’d been there, not allowed to pack, I would have gone Galt.

a .223-high capacity" rifle

I saw a screen cap from the video that showed him with an AK. That's a .30-cal (7.62mm), not a .223 (5.56mm). And I don't even know where to start on "high-capacity rifle."

Yes, except Gabby’s shooting was an entirely different matter than the baseball game. She was shot at an Arizona supermarket.

"Maybe this explains it!"

The curve in the magazine in Crusius' rifle has too much continuous curve to be a 5.56 magazine. It's not a 5.56 magazine, IMO.

"So, just because it looks like an AK47/74 from profile, does not mean much, it may well be chambered in 223/556."

The 7.62x39 magazines have more of an obvious continuous curve to them. It's easy to see the difference.

Yes-The post Christian culture of America with her preborn sacrifices and endorsement of perversion now has it’s consequences. No mention of putting these satanic, demon-possessed cretins in locked institutions. Instead law abiding NRA members will be blamed for these tragedies and fake news people will make a fortune reporting on this chaos and passing the blame on to conservatives.

“The guy isn’t white. He’s part Hispanic at least.”

True. Look at the photo at Fox News. It’s very obvious.

True... but IMHO, the one pictured isn’t a .223, it’s a 7.62 x 39. Curvature of the magazine is a tell, 7.62 have more curve than a 5.56 because of the taper of the cartridge.
