The death toll from a shooting massacre at an El Paso, Texas mall Saturday has increased to 21 — one more than the initial fatality count of 20 — the El Paso Police Department said Monday.
F*CK. Just that.
I wonder if that’s the grandfather I heard about who was shot. The grandmother was also shot, but the grandfather was still fighting for his life.
"The controversial website 8chan, allegedly used by the El Paso shooter to post a hate-filled screed before killing people at a Walmart over the weekend, was taken offline Monday."
Dayton? Didn’t I hear it was Toledo? Sheesh, if Obama had gotten the city’s name wrong, there would have been impeachment hearings.
Early signs of dementia:
WE need to ban civilian possession of any semi-automatic and large cartridges.
Only criminals would have such weapons or gear if their possession was illegal.
Stupidity also produces many symptoms.
Why is Toledo on his mind? If I lived in Toledo I’d be concerned. Is (was) he planning a rally there?
The other thing about the preferred weapons of mass murderers is that they produce what is euphemistically referred to as extensive tissue damage. So a wound that might be survivable if inflicted by a handgun, not so much with an AR or AK clone.
(In the “control the ammunition” scenario, one might be able to leverage this by making lower-velocity rounds available to “target” shooters and ultra-heavily regulating what are now the standard loads.)
He got the city wrong.
He got the causes wrong.
He got the fixes wrong.

Had there been prayer in Texas schools this likely would never have happened. Am I right, Raphael? Greg? Dan? Louie?
Fat Albert.
He read it off a f*cking teleprompter.
They only pray for the football team, so it wouldn’t work.
I believe, if I understand the NRA’s reading of the Second Amendment, that each citizen can have in his possession a nuclear submarine loaded with long range missiles. Obviously a part of every good citizen’s militia.
Lawn darts were banned following deaths and injuries as a result of playing with them. Toys are routinely taken off the market if deemed unsafe. Guns not so much.
Why quibble about “large” magazines? What more do you need than
No external clips or magazines.
trumps claiming “mental illness” as a cause? after the GOP overturned the Obama regulation aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill…
It would be nice if Anonymous hacked them and seeded all the site users with monitoring software.
