Another church mass killing

Texas Church Shooting Leaves at Least 25 Dead, Official Says

Gunman killed or dead. Let the hand wringing and candlelight vigils begin since there is nothing else to do. Places of worship used to be sanctuaries and now nothing is sacred.

Verb sad and my condolences to the families of the loved ones.

And now the ammosexual community braces themselves for what they consider to be the greater tragedy; Talk of gun control. I love it when these soulless bastards claim they have to continue to flood our society with ever more weaponry; ".....because it's so dangerous out there!". Yeah, we know. Thanks.

If a Muslim did it, conservatives will be outraged. If a non-Muslim did it, there will be empty, vacuous words from conservatives and we'll move on. Seen this movie before.

This is not the time to talk about gun control when people are grieving.
Give it a few days till this episode is forgotten and then we can talk abut it, which is usually never.

This kind of thing keeps happening and keeps happening and NONE of our "representatives" do anything but mutter and capitulate.

Actually the same thing they do with every other issue facing us.....

Why do we have these people around?

A 2nd amendment hardliner state representative and others shot in a public park, and thats ok with him. As long as the majority continue to be held hostage by the usual suspects, nothing changes. So, please to enjoy your constitutional right to be a random live target in a randomly selected public shooting gallery.

Predictably, Trump and the GOP immediately blame mental illness for this mass shooting and discount easy access to assault weapons.

“I think that mental health is your problem here. Based on preliminary reports, a very deranged individual, a lot of problems for a long period of time. But, this isn’t a guns situation.”

Yes, the problem is that the United States has a hundred times as many mentally ill people than any other nation on earth. Well, maybe we do? they're called "Republicans".
