I’m also seeing a few conspiracy theorists saying that Neves killed the MIT dude, but that he is being used as cover for the far leftist transtifa member that murdered Ella Cook for being a conservative.

Interesting perspective on the killing:

Quote

US small arms per 100 persons: 120
Portugal small arms per 100 persons: 20

US murder rate: 5.9 per 100,000
Portugal murder rate: 0.8 per 100,000

US mental health care system: for-profit, limited by insurance carriers
Portugal mental health care system: Single-payer public

Smart kid in Portugal gets scholarship to come to US, lives here 20 years, has mental breakdown, kills a professor and shoots up a university.

I don’t think the problem is immigration from Portugal. The problem is here.

We must keep a strong hold unto the second amendment, no matter what foolsLike that one thinks.

Of course it is. If he wasn't here people would still be alive.today to celebrate Christmas with their Families. 

Stop blaming guns, blame violent people. Making excuses for killers is sick!!!

You have ZERO right to tell me what I can and can't do, typical leftist BS, thats what is simple. I'll end this and let you get back to your Trump bashing

Wait what happened to all of @Meglamaniac’s deranged rants?

I forget what exactly he was asking for evidence of, I think it was something about him generalizing a group of people based on something one person did?  Above is him replying to one poster ( @Ron_Artest ) and saying he is spouting “typical leftist BS.”  Seems like a generalization to me.  Although I’m sure he’ll say some nonsense like “yeah but the majority of leftists have proven to be full of BS!”

There will always be crazy people. It’s the human condition. Making it harder for humans to access semi-automatic weapons keeps everybody safer.

Right now any whack-job can go to a gun show, buy guns with no background checks, and murder innocent children.

We regulate cigarettes and alcohol more strictly than deadly weapons. Even though the 2nd amendment literally says well-regulated.

It’s a choice the GOP has made. Pandering to gun nuts and the wealthy gun makers at the expense of our children.

Does that frighten you? Call your representative and ask them to make it harder for hotheaded internet randos to get arsenals of semi-automatics.

make it harder

You said we need to "BAN GUNS" in a previous post. 

I agree that we need to make it harder to purchase a gun. I'd like to see required firearm training, possibly classes, a cool off period, etc. 

Saying we should ban guns is flat out stupid and ridiculous. We aren't discussing banning knives everytime that someone is stabbed.

I don’t remember posting that we should ban all guns, but maybe I was drinking.

I absolutely agree with you on training, cool-off period, etc.

Sadly, whenever people suggest such things, there is a reflexive response and many states make it even easier to get guns. Here’s hoping more Republicans start suggesting reforms like yours…

I've always been for stricter gun regulations and firearm training, not banning guns, that's ridiculous.
