And that's just in the South Shore! Seriously though, that's a gross exaggeration. It's bad, but not that bad. I haven't heard gunshots since last week.

Yup.  Thanks Obama!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Sorry, confused opiate abuse death rate with gunfire total.

Yes, and unfortunately, I expect it to get worse before it gets better.

Inevitably, the usual suspects are going to start pointing fingers ("the left this", or "the right that"), and it's important to keep in mind that -so far as we know- this was the act of a single person. I personally don't know anyone on the left who condones violence, and I most on the right can say the same. We're dealing with extremist individuals, not broadly held ideologies.

In much the same way that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols' actions didn't represent the views of those on the right, neither does this for the left.

This bullshit is going to tear the country apart if we let it.

Why don't you take that up with this right-wing hero.

Not my fault if irony is lost on you.  Just a little less than a year ago and it bites Paul on the ass.  But don't feel bad.  That fucktard won't get it any more than you don't.

How long until we see suggestions gun control laws be 'tweaked' to insure availability of advanced fire arms to SJWs ??

Hell, I haven't checked, maybe it's already happened . . . .

I'd like to think the nightmarish aspect of that might be more widespread.

Another example of how wonderful the fascist shitballs are.  We don't seem to have "preachers" like this.  Lucky us.
