My point about the mentally unstable with a gun was used to poke holes in the gun nuts who use this argument. To distract from the need for meaningful gun controls. Anyone who would even consider shooting another person, whether one like this today or the many at schools all show a mental illness.

And the GOP is praying that the shooters were Muslim.

And the Dems desperately hope the shooters are from a trailer park in Georgia.

Dead people make good politics for low people of all affiliations.

Personally, I was hoping for Charleston.

Wolf Blitzer keeps saying that the shooters had long guns "like AK-47s", making sure that he plants the Muslim seed deep in the narrative.

AK-47's have nothing to do with Islam and I doubt that was his intent (and I'm certainly no Wolf fan). The AK happens to be the most widely used weapon of war ever, and nearly 20% of all firearms in the world today are AK's. They're manufactured in over 30 countries other than Russia where they were developed.

In the public consciousness it absolutely does. As for Blitzer's intent, I'm not at all sure I agree with you.

I think you're reading into what he said. I've just tuned in to CNN and the reporter said the police had reported "AK-47 type weapons." Another witness inside the shot-up building heard ~30 rapid fire shots before an apparent reloading pause. This indicates to me some sort of assault weapon, of which the AK is the most common.

Blitzer is a moron who screws up all of the time. How he keeps his job is one of lifes great mysteries.

You should tell him that, because my impression is that he thinks that he is absolutely great...
