The shooters or the Democrats?

One of the same. Ban guns for liberals. They are the crazy killers.

I’d call that a distinction without a difference...

Hehee...

I think putting the to bed early for a few weeks would work wonders.

Back in the day, they just put them in padded rooms or whatever, and when they got out, they had their 2nd Amendment rights restored.

Liberals support banning all guns. so let them step up and adhere to their espoused ban.

No, if guns were banned, people would still be killed with guns. With our porous borders, criminals would never have a shortage of guns. But homicides would skyrocket.

Right now, if you take out the black community murders out of the equation, our gun homicide rate is miniscule. But imagine what would happen if the pedophile pimps in DC disarmed the white man? That's what they're trying to do, apparently.

About 70% of the population is mentally ill. The folks in the PC medical racket only need to discover and document the rest.

Fascism is on the way.

Eventually, when terrorist cells start attacking, the numbers from mass murders committed by terrorists will be much higher than what we’ve seen from homosexual/homocidal, fatherless maniacs. Activating terrorists will invade and occupy disarmed neighborhoods in each area, then easily blockade, harass, starve and occupy the armed, pampered and terrified elite neighborhood that they surround.

No. It’s the criminal element.

“However, has anyone noticed how the medical practitioners always ask if you are feeling depressed, etc. whenever you go in for any reason?”

My primary doctor’s nurse does this to me with each visit. I got tired of it, and asked just why she does it, her response was it’s an obama care requirement.

I have always felt that in these mass shootings there should be a drug toxicology performed ,AND the results should be made public.

From Columbine to today,especialy the shooting in Charleston,S.C.,that shooter was using a substance to wean users off opiates.If not in a program,this substance is available on the streets.

Those reports SHOULD be made public,and take the emphasis
away from the usual rhetoric of gun control,”Oh land sakes alive what,s we gonna do...”

It’s Vester Lee Flanagan a homosexual?

In my book that’s mental illness.

> If guns were banned people would be killed with hammers or knives or axes or cars -

if liberals were banned crime would be almost non-existent...

Let’s not forget this one from the past. NO GUNS INVOLVED!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Pressly

Anne Pressly (August 28, 1982 – October 25, 2008) was an American news anchor for KATV Channel 7 in Little Rock, Arkansas. ... On October 20, 2008, she was brutally attacked during a robbery at her home and died five days later.

A son of Obama.

“It’s Vester Lee Flanagan a homosexual? In my book that’s mental illness.”

Agreed, but a bunch of homosexual psychologists had that changed in the 70’s. It is not a legal cause to deny someone the ability to purchase a firearm.

The man is a freaking genius. I have never heard this before. Where does he come up with this stuff? No wonder people are throwing out everything he ever said previously. He has tapped into a muse.

LOL! Get help. His worst 2nd Amendment flub was years ago when he bought into the "assault weapon" meme. He was, even then, a supporter of the 2nd Amendment even though he had no interest in weapons.

Since his sons grew up and became avid hunters, he has listened to them and now understands his mistake about buying into the assault weapon meme.

Ben Carson is a bigger 2nd Amendment threat than Donald Trump is.

Talk about "tapping into a muse"....

Some people could be served a glass of water and they would complain that it makes them think of drowning.

.....................................................

Agreed! The number one reason I don’t like Carson for President. He’d make an excellent Surgeon General, but no way could he fight the tough fights with our enemies....especially the U.N. he’s too nice a guy.
