Gun violence. It never ends.  :'(

20 people dead and about 2 dozen more injured in El Paso, Texas on Saturday.
Then hours later early Sunday morning, about 10 people dead and another 2 dozen injured in Dayton, Ohio.
These two incidents are mere HOURS apart!  :o

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!  :o

You can definately be sure that in the next several days and weeks, Congress, particuarly the Democrats, are going to bring gun control back at the forefront of political issues that need solving.

My thoughts and comments from this thread still stand today as they pretty much did in the past.

What really grinds my gear is this response from our President.  >:(


--- Quote ---Asked what he was going to do to address gun violence, President Trump told reporters Sunday that “a lot of things are in the works” and claimed his administration has done “much more than most administrations.”

Oh really? Do tell.  :P *sarcasm*

Trump oversaw a ban on so-called bump stocks but has not pursued large-scale gun control efforts. His predecessor, Barack Obama, took dozens of executive actions on gun control, including on background checks and mental health.

Trump touted his administration’s work on the issue, saying, “We’ve done actually a lot but perhaps more has to be done.”

A lot? Like what? And what does he mean "perhaps"? That's almost like saying "Maybe" we'll do more.

Trump also said this is a “mental illness” problem.

Are you kidding me?  :o >:( Both of these mass shootings were HATE CRIMES.

Trump ignored other questions on the topic, including one on white nationalism.

^ Naturally. What else is new.  :P *more sarcasm*

cause the rat:
The man supports hate groups. He's not going to have anything bad to say about the people who support him. He will continue his 'rape, murderers and enemy combatant' rhetoric. Because he and the republican party who support him doesn't care how many Americans die. If you like at both the republican and fox's use of fear and anger you'll see a pattern. It's done to control their voter base. Just like in the past events like these will be twisted around and used in their favor.  He's also a blatant lier. His supporters AND the republican party have gone to great lengths to make excuses for his lies. Both him and the do nothing party needs to go.

VOTE.

This was the gun used by the shooter in Dayton, Ohio.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TYPE OF WEAPON AND THE LARGE MAGAZINES TO BE ON THE STREETS OR FOR PEOPLE TO POSSESS THEM!  >:(




--- Quote ---Dayton police showed a photo and provided detail on the gun the suspect used in the attack.

Police Chief Richard Biehl told the media the weapon has a "double drum magazine" which has a capacity of up to 100 rounds.

Biehl said the gun was purchased legally. He said the gun was ordered online from Texas, then transferred to the suspect at a local firearms dealer in Ohio.

Biehl added that police weren't aware of anything "in this individual's history or record that would have precluded him from purchasing that weapon."

Asked by reporters about the legality of the large magazine, Biehl said there is "no indication that that is illegal at this time."

Biehl said the suspect fired "dozens" of shots during the shooting.
