Why



do you think the Russians wanted to help him get elected?




"We have long had mass shootings in the United States because of the ready availability of guns."

This is spot on. It's not because of video games, people in other countries play video games as well. Video game sales have increased at the same time violent crime rates overall have decreased.
It's not mental illness, rates of mental illness are not higher here than they are in other industrialized countries. It is absolutely "the ready availability of guns." that leads to all the mass shooting incidents.

"After an earlier terrorist attack — this one carried out by two Muslims who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, Calif., on Dec. 2, 2015 — President Trump, then a candidate, notoriously called “for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.” Compare that with his reaction to the El Paso shooting, which was to send “thoughts and prayers” and condemn “today’s hateful act” but without suggesting any action in response."

"Let me help you out, Mr. President. I suggest that, until we figure out what the hell is going on, you institute a total and complete shutdown of your inciting, racist rhetoric."

Seems like I was telling you just this morning the very same thing Lucy.

Five million "assault-style" weapons on the streets of this country. I just don't think the problem is ever gonna be solved, I don't think any amount of regulation will do much good and the people in this country who own  assault weapons are not going to participate in a buy back program in the manner that was done in Australia in 96.

So?
I don't think the problem ever gets solved.
I don't think regulations or buy back programs will do any good.
I expect incidents like this to continue and to get worse.

Watchmen usually don't bring good news .




I love you Lucy.
Gonna be beautiful honey.
