^^^ Well, nobody uses breath freshener there.

This haven't showed up on my social media feed. RIP to the victims.

I guess California's gun laws aren't strict enough that one baddie managed to get through. Solution would to outright guns, right?

From an earlier thread here, the least likely citizens to commit a crime were concealed carry card holders.  The second were off-duty cops.

I know for sure that many, and probably most, concealed carry holders train religiously.

I would be 100x more comfortable in a crowd where 1-in-20 people took the responsibility to be concealed carry than in a crowd where nobody did.  Conversely, were I a criminal intent on harming others, I would be most uncomfortable indeed if anyone I see or anyone who might I might want to rob or rape could be 'packing heat.'

It is definitely a deterrent. If you plan on a mass shooting you can only shoot a few before one in the crowd shot back at you.

This is common knowledge. Nobody gets into a gunfight when he knows he might not win because everyone else has guns. But if he is crazy on opioids, he loses when there are guns around to take him down. Simple as that.


Gun Laws Create Gun Violence

Approximately 5 to 10 million AR-15 style rifles exist in America according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. If we were to ban these guns outright tomorrow, would they just vanish into thin air? That is what gun law advocates seem to be suggesting by their rhetoric. Whenever we hear reports of a shooting tragedy, the TV, newspapers, and social media PR campaigns fire off in unison for bans on "assault rifles" like the AR-15. We are told that supporters of such bans are doing what is necessary to save innocent lives. But how does a top-down prohibition of a desired object actually work in practice? Violently and disastrously, according to every case example we have.

Supposedly pictures of the Gilroy shooter and the El Paso shooter respectively:



I've got no idea of this is a hoax or not.  If not, 'they' are obviously laughing in our face.

Too many shades of brown for my taste. And before anyone calls it a racist comment, it's just a fact-based observation.
Side note, maybe a vampire killed them? Couldn't take the smell and came guns blazing.

Please explain in detail what is wrong with the picture I posted.

The picture (which originated on 4chan) is in response to the recent coverage of the mass shootings in America and the response from the main stream media which is basically "America has a serious problem with people walking into crowded areas and shooting as many strangers as possible, as fast as possible.  More often than not these are white males.  And the one that happened in Texas was probably influenced by Trumps rhetoric.  America has a problem with white supremacy, and the Texas shooting is evidence of that."

While all gun violence is bad, it's not all the same.

A shootout on the streets over a grudge or gang issues is not the same as walking down a crowded street and shooting 37 people in 30 seconds.

This picture lumps them all together, showing only the color of their skin without any other information.

It's clear the intent is to pass the message that "black people are worse than white people" when it comes to gun violence, which is exactly why the former grand wizard of the KKK quickly posted it on his website and had an entire podcast devoted to the subject.

Thanks for exposing yourself as a racist and a hypocrite. The picture is just reality. Your prejudicial projections upon it are not my responsibility, they are yours and yours alone. People like you LOVE trying to make it seem like only white people are shooters and it is some how worse than when black people do it, and anyone who shows a picture of reality is racist. Take your weak ass guilt via association argument and shove it you fucking bigot. Progressives are more racist than any KKK member, they just think their virtue signalling makes up for it.

I am perfectly calm. Projecting your imaginary emotional states on to me is just a completely transparent attempt to avoid addressing the fact that you got exposed for your own racist bigoted views while you point your fingers at others for the same. You know who else told people to calm down?
