I’m a conservative and this is dumb. Trump has done some good things but he isn’t a savior.

You think India and China are safer places to live?


The murder rate in the US is twice that if India. I doubt China publishes those statistics.

How about 2011-2019? 

Gun violence is way down from the 80s and 90s. It's not even close.

Not the only form of violence. Not even the type of violence the 2A was designed to protect us from. And for much of the world there is no one to report crime to. 18 people die in Lagos and it’s just another day. You’re dangerously naive.

This shooting, based on the shooters manifesto, was done because the shooter thinks immigration is a threat to the US and to him personally. The shooter probably has mental issues but he’s also a racist POS.

Would banning 10000 mentally ill from owning guns stop one from killing 20 or more in a Walmart? Maybe. Isn’t that enough?


Most mass shooters don’t have a diagnosable mental illness. Evil is not a mental illness.

My question is why haven’t these mass shootings always happened then? The mentally ill and guns have been around in this country for a very long time.

I’ve been robbed at gunpoint and at knifepoint.

I’d rather not be an unarmed victim a third time.


And that’s probably why we differ on this matter and I respect you for your views given those points.

Social media and the rest of the internet certainly is doing no favors


You have to be mentally fricked in the head to go and start killing a bunch of innocent people in the first place but what gets them there is the interesting part. That is probably one of the biggest differences today compared to back then is the influences of social media/ resources online has on people.

I work in the field. I'll be more specific.

Anti-social personality disorder is a characterlogical/personality disorder, that although falls under the very large umbrella of "mental disorders" it is more accurately described as a disorder of who you fundamentally are as person. Hence your character or personality.

In other words. This is not a neuro-psychiatric disorder. This is not mental illness in the classic sense. Our prisons are absolutely filled by people with anti-social traits or anti-social disorder itself.

That's why this guy did what he did. He has a dysfunction of personality.

Wasn’t the question. We murder at a higher rate here with a lesser population.

To answer you. I have no desire to go to India. Ever.

I have several times, but my old job took me to less describable parts of south Louisiana.

I also carry dental insurance and I've never had to use it. Doesn't make it not useful.

Did Obama say 1st graders were bad people and a threat to the livelihood of all US citizens? Read this shooters manifesto and you’ll find some talking points that trump has spewed.
