He can certainly try.

20% of America has some degree of mental illness
I couldn’t disagree with this statistic more.
Absolutely. Just look at the number of people who vote lib.

I’m not mocking. I gave it my all.
I’m truly sorry. That’s really sad.

Nah. You just didn’t get it.
Get what? Did you have a point there somewhere?

What complaints about the 2nd?
About the current outcomes of the 2nd.
That’s not a complaint. As long as people have access to firearms, mentally ill people will acquire them. Do you disagree?
So what are you suggesting, incarceration of the mentally ill so they won’t have access to guns?
No…
What then? How do you propose keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill?

Yes, mental illness is common. It’s probably underreported.

He was Muslim wasn’t he? If so animosity towards gays would be consistent with Muslim views.
yes. that is consistent. He seemed to also be paranoid about “racist islamophobic people.” His family says he was very paranoid.
So was this shooting Islamic Terrorism or simply a hate crime?
Why ask me? I’m not an investigator.

It has to be one or the other. If we play by woke rules, this must be assigned to a group. Which group is it?
Unfortunately for the left, “racist white man” is out of the running.

I think he was a paranoid nut who snapped and wanted to kill people. I will refrain from assigning any political motive until more information is available.
Bad breeding…
It’s going to be a fun fallout after they stack the court too.

Gee, we’d better punish the law abiding people since the criminals just won’t listen.
You have an excellent way of cutting through the muck and getting to the point.
I thought we were supposed to embrace our differences.

What do other countries do that don’t have this mass shooting problem?
Ban knives.
Then, plastic ware.

I thought we were supposed to embrace our differences.
Not sure what that means.

I kind of suspicion that when we hear the term “new mass killing” the first thing a lot of people think is “Please don’t let him be a …”.
