He does.

Read the bible.

Yabut... God never used guns. You know how deyties are flooding and using volcanoes filled with H-bombs and whatnot. Way more classy if you ask me.

The best thing was the apocalipse read while high as a kite. It made a lot of sense.

I could shoot 3 or 4 rounds a day - and never run out.
And that's just 22 long rifle.

So gun nuts have lots of ammo

The mentally ill do not need guns. Domestic abusers do not need guns. Alcoholics do not need guns. Religious terrorists be they whatever religion, do not need guns. But the industry does need to scare the shit out of all zip codes, and police in order to sell them.

If you want to sell guns - elect a leftist Democrat.


The guns fly off the shelves with that possibility.

You realized that you just proved Brian's point, right?  The culture of fear regarding guns is so pervasive that election of people on the left (or even the centre right) triggers the fantasy that all guns sales are about to be stopped, making people 'stock up' (no pun intended).

This fear is false and is promulgated by gun manufacturers, their lobbyists, and the far right echo chamber.

Quote:The gamers insist that violent games don't make violent people.
Sure.
Playing a game where yoy kill people - 8 hours a day doesn't make you violent -
But a gun in the closet makes young boys run out and commit mass murder.
Sounds legit.

They don't . I can see why you want to blame video games it way easier then blaming guns . Too bad the science disagrees

Damned good to know...

Could you provide a link to the report you're citing?  I tried Googling it, and I was unable to find any FBI reports that ascribed any sort of motive to the perpetrators of mass shootings.

You want me to prove what isn't there.


The claim - was that white supremicist were responsible for mass shootings.  The FBI statistics do not show that. If the skinheads were respinsibleb I doubt the FBI would be hesitant to point it out.

Remember - proof is the burden of the claimant of extordinary claims.

Gee what could POSSIBLY go wrong there?

Considering it's the gun nuts who will likely install him as a dictator .....

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.  You said, 'FBI statistics say the majority of mass shooters are white single males with a history of violrnce and mental health issues.'  I haven't been able to find that and was hoping you might have a source for it.

I am playing a necromancer on Diablo 3. You don't see me going to graveyards and rainsing the dead to massacre a lot of people.

More people play FPS style games here in Portugal. Did we ever got a mass shooting? I'm trying to remember.

Considering how lapse security agencies have been on right violence ....
