Shooter supposedly yelled something and supposedly used a handgun

I don't put a lot of stock in the wording of the Tweet, just used this for the news reporting

We better wait for Tapper to tell us what's real.....

CNN’s Jake Tapper skewered for calling black DC pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. a ‘white man’ on air

CNN’s Jake Tapper was ripped Thursday after he wrongly referred to accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr. as “a white man.”

yes or no - should the cities keep letting crazy people commit violent acts and walk away without bail?

They shouldn't be letting crazy people who commit violent acts walk away before trial at all. Being able to walk free because you made enough money from your drug dealing or robbery etc seems like a really shitty system.

Well the libs decided that was racist so you don't need any money at all now with no cash bail laws.

 

[Days like these...]

Let's be real. If we ever enter an era of full blown government oppression, we ain't doing shit against them.

Do we have a Navy? An Air Force? Tanks? Do we have factories that can produce ships, planes, and tanks to combat theirs? Do we have machines flying in the sky that can spot enemies from thousands of feet above, and when you press a button they go bye-bye? The idea that we could band together with our AR-15s and makeshift bombs, and overthrow the most powerful military in the world, is fantasy land.

This isn't Star Wars.

You are wrong. 1.3 million troops vs 80-100 million citizens with guns. We absolutely can do shit unless the government decides to go scorched earth and absolutely destroy the country for a pyrrhic victory. It wouldn't be a functioning government you can't govern by force unless your ok with America being governed like North Korea.

Banning guns do not solve the problem. It just gives the government more control.

Again, you will not last even 5 minutes versus a regular army.

Hilarious that you think we could amass 80-100 million fighters. The population of the US is around 340 million. What percentage of that is elderly and children? Now subtract out the tens of millions of young/middle aged men and women that I guarantee you would bend the knee because they're either too afraid to fight, or they agree and support the government.

The rebels wouldn't just be fighting the government. They'd be fighting the government, plus the citizens that oppose them. If the government were smart, they'd have the loyalists do most of the work for them.

How do we still know so little about this or not have better videos from a campus with 800+ cameras or better eyewitnesses accounts of what happened?

Again, you will not last even 5 minutes versus a regular army.

Maybe, maybe not but if I am ever in a WalMart or wherever if a shooting breaks out I will try to find the safest room for my wife and I to hide in and if the shooter enters I will be able to defend myself because I carry everywhere I go

I do not need to last 5 minutes against army. I need to last long enough against other criminals and burglars. Open carry around would make a lot of criminals think twice before trying to do something. If every migrant was aware that a person might carry a gun, they would try to think twice before trying to rob somebody. There are reasons why blue cities are crime ridden shit holes.

Well, you need some time to build an evidence and prepare the narrative that it was a white christian guy /s

NK scenario is not possible in USA. The country is too big for that and governors have enough independent powers to fight against the federal government if really necessary.

Yeah - what I am saying that cash bail is a massively flawed system where a pedophile who molested kids can walk back onto the streets because his gang or parents or whatever can front the money but some guy who swiped someones wallet can be stuck in jail for weeks while still technically innocent.

Why do you think they have a list which excludes the US?

To answer the question of how many school shootings there are outside the US?

How bout sodomized with a nightstick? Or custody, that works too.

Couldn't you just pick out 1 or 2 US ones?

Now go through those and how many are violent criminal incidents that just happen to have been at a school? Most are direct violence between people that know each other that could happen anywhere, and likely with any kind weapon.

The term "school shooting" is weaponized to create a fear of guns by bringing up thoughts of tragedies like the Parkland shooting and Columbine where innocent children are murdered indiscriminately when the vast majority are nothing like those.

You all do realize that the Military is full of many people that would defect as well. Not too many would be fond of killing their own brothers and sisters. Has history taught you nothing?

Also, the issue has and always will be a mental health issue. I've worked in those facilities, there are far too many people let out on the street that need to be put away for life unfortunately. But hey, here's some anti depression meds, good luck out there buddy!

There are also WAY too many guns out there in this country that we know of (let alone that we are not aware of) for any sort of confiscation to work, and like others, I will not surrender mine either. I've been on this earth long enough to see what that road leads to.
