December 3, 201510 yr Ashtrays. That's a good one. A few weeks ago someone compared a lit candle to guns. Now it's ashtrays. Whether people realize it or not, calling for tougher gun control is no longer a losing proposition at the polls. Just a matter of time. You are correct.
December 3, 201510 yr I never claimed there was. I simply said it seems some people here will deny it was radical Islamic terrorism no matter what. There was this though. Time will tell if it's true. So, is there any evidence the other shooter killed in the name of Christianity? If not, why would we call him a radical Christian terrorist? Has that shooting been classified as terrorism? And just as some will deny it, some won't believe that it cannot be something else, and furthermore use it to further villianify all Muslims. The fact is, this, like most mass shootings, are committed by our own citizens, and most have not been Muslim.
December 3, 201510 yr I thought I didn't know anything about guns. Then the wife, watching the CNN coverage, asks why the shooters were carrying magazines. "Were they reading the directions?"
December 3, 201510 yr California has laws against assault style weapons and high capacity mags.. Didn't work out too well in this case.. Nope. It's a national problem.
December 3, 201510 yr "Could have" is correct. Trained people with guns couldn't stop the carnage at Virginia Tech, Columbine or even Ft. Hood. Why would we have expected different results yesterday? You mean trained people WITH GUNS could have?
December 3, 201510 yr And just as some will deny it, some won't believe that it cannot be something else, and furthermore use it to further villianify all Muslims. The fact is, this, like most mass shootings, are committed by our own citizens, and most have not been Muslim. There's a chance it isn't, sure. But everything that has come out so far doesn't make you think it is?
December 3, 201510 yr You have to pass a background check to buy Sudafed? Convicted felons can't buy Sudafed? Easy now easy, that's what she heard on MSNBC before the commercial break. Giver her a chance to gather more info.
December 3, 201510 yr I thought I didn't know anything about guns. Then the wife, watching the CNN coverage, asks why the shooters were carrying magazines. "Were they reading the directions?" At least the news didn't call them "clips"
December 3, 201510 yr Easy now easy, that's what she heard on MSNBC before the commercial break. Giver her a chance to gather more info. And with this as a response, I'm out of this conversation. It's obviously not going anywhere.
December 3, 201510 yr And with this as a response, I'm out of this conversation. It's obviously not going anywhere. You came in with sarcasm and didn't expect it back?
December 3, 201510 yr You came in with sarcasm and didn't expect it back? I've posted several non-sarcastic posts....
December 3, 201510 yr There's a chance it isn't, sure. But everything that has come out so far doesn't make you think it is? Yes, it looks like there is a connection. But the fact is, it's not usually radical Muslims committing this sort of crime here in the US.
December 3, 201510 yr When you start calling the shooter in Charlotte the Radical Christian Terrorist, we might be able to have a conversation. I refuse to believe a radical is worse because they're Muslim, than if they're Christian. RM I've been weary of labeling this from the get go. It doesn't mean it's not that. How does calling the guy in Charelston a radical Christian change what yesterday's events were? Side note, the guy from Charelston seemed more like a racist than a Christian. Didn't he say something along the lines of you're taking/hurting all of our women?
December 3, 201510 yr I believe they called them pipe bombs. So if we get rid of all of the pipes....
