Can someone explain to me how race matters at all? The shooter is just that a shooter. We are a long way from ending racism...
Race didn't matter, until it was reported that he was possibly connected to WN...so motive and ideology, will most certainly be explored, and is fair game. Just like if he was a Muslim shooting up a christian church, or a black guy who had attended a BLM event shooting police officers.
I wonder if someone with a white parent and a black parent could be both a White Nationalist AND a New Black Panther????
Never... they'd have to start the Checkered Panther Party.
So, "We need to figure out how to stop mass shootings in schools" is your definition of 'herp derp'. That, right there, is the saddest commentary anyone could read on the mindset of the average gun owner, which although I own more than a dozen pistols and rifles, puts me outside the mean.
I don't have the "magic answer" No one does, but people are going to try things in hopes of solving the problem.

Sure, if it will be a place to start a reasonable discussion
1. More stringent background checks focusing on mental health and domestic violence.
2. Very high tax on specific ammunition. However, no tax if bought and used at a shooting range, for instance.
Like I said previously, I don't know what the solution is. I just think that we need to come up with one. Continuing to be nonplussed is no longer working

One other thing I'll say, if you're going to pass a law you think will solve the problem, you better ***damn sure be able to support how that will stop the thing that prompted you to decide that's the correct action. Again, don't just stand there, do something, isn't a solution. It's just a precursor to unintended consequences.

Exactly.1. How would this have stopped this shooting.
2. This is a two-part question: a) Why are you advocating to punish poor people? Since the shooter presumably shot .223/5.56, I assume you mean that's the specific ammunition. A lot of people use that for hunting varmints, coyotes, home defense, etcetera. Most uses of that round are NOT as range ammo. I think it's fair to say AR15's and guns chambered in .223/5.56, are not the typical range guns for most people who primarily shoot at ranges. b) how would punishing the 10s of millions of gun owners who shoot that round, have stopped this shooter?
The solution for this isn't simply passing a law.
In this same vein, and this is an honest question, when did we (Americans) start thinking that the government MUST do something to solve (insert whatever crisis here). When did things move from person responsibility to “group” responsibility? What could any government ever do to stop the evil in mankind’s heart?
It’s an honest question because I’m not that old so it must’ve either happened when I was too young to notice or it happened before I was born (‘86).
New Mocha Panther Nationalist Party.
NMPNP.
