You're surprised? The Crusades get brought up here every single time another attack that was not motivated by Christianity happens lol.

And they are sooo five minutes ago.

Oh shit, I left my kitten on the grill too long, welp, there goes my lunch.

C.L., you posted an absolute that was patently untrue. Get over it.

This is the only Chicago I find to be a valid argument.

Let's see what Church "father" Tertullian has to say.

Quote:One can imagine the satisfaction of the Crusader mowing down innocent citizens of Muslim (or Christian) towns, or of the Inquisitor calmly torturing a heretic or witch while patiently transcribing every moan and scream of the victim, and experiencing the pleasure of Church father Tertullian, picturing his adversaries in hell:

How shall I admire, how laugh, how rejoice, how exult, when I behold so many proud monarchs, and fancied gods, groaning in the lowest abyss of darkness; so many magistrates who persecuted the name of the Lord, liquefying in fiercer fires than they ever kindled against the Christians; so many sage philosophers blushing in red hot flames with their deluded scholars; so many celebrated poets trembling before the tribunal, not of Minos, but of Christ; so many tragedians, more tuneful in the expression of their suffering.

ABBA, '80s-era Chicago . . . .

Seriously, Brian, was music an instrument of torture during your childhood that you should have come to this?

Is there still no idea to what the motive was?

If I was to take a guess at this moment in time I'm going to go with psychopatic tendencies along with wanting to be famous.

Um no, that is certainly the excuse used yes, but it is still dog whistle bullshit for assholes like 45 to call black NFL players "sons of bitches".

But we can go there if you wish. It isn't a matter of the laws being strict, it is a matter of not having a nationwide standard. Of course the laws wont work because guns don't magically stop working in transport.

It still amounts to access. Not legal vs illegal. 

This is simply more bullshit the nutters use to make excuses to do nothing. So when they cant flat out sell bigotry, they make it about states rights.

And again, I live in the sticks and I hear stories in NC in a rural area, about gun violence here too. The only reason you hear about more in the city is because it has a bigger population. It isn't a mater of strict, it is a matter of a flooded market nationwide.

Un, no. You can speculate all you you wish about the motivations of people you don't know. Unlike you, I have numbers and laws supporting my point.

Take your tired, angry appeals to emotions and shove 'em. You're entitled to your own opinion. You're not entitled to your own facts. And you certainly should shitcan the snark when you don't even have a single bit of support for your feelz.

TL/DR: Blow me.
