Another case of a known dangerous individual in obvious possession of an illegal firearm and the law doesn't lock him up.

They have debased the norms of our country so much that we are no longer respected by the free world.

We’d “de-snowflake” and exclaim, “EUREKA! Now I gotta go out and drop thousands of dollars on a deadly “tool.”

It’s a tool, all right, designed to do ONE THING, and it allows anyone to do that one thing very, very easily.

With every gun sold or stolen, America is LESS safe. The very presence of these weapons demands their use. And our citizenry isn’t exactly knocking us out with their brilliance and emotional maturity right now.

It’s a profound sickness, unique to this country.

and guns don't kill people. Will it ever end?????

Is it still too soon to talk about the TX church shooting, I don't want to be politically incorrect.

We can't get past "too soon" before there is another one, it will NEVER be the time to talk about gun regulation.

Brian Flint told the Record Searchlight newspaper in the city of Redding that his neighbor, whom he knows only as Kevin, was the gunman and that his roommate was among the victims. He said the shooter also stole his truck.


"The crazy thing is that the neighbor has been shooting a lot of bullets lately, hundreds of rounds, large magazines," Flint said. "We made it aware that this guy is crazy and he's been threatening us."

Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said officials received multiple 911 calls about gunfire at an intersection of two dirt roads in the upper reaches of the sparsely populated neighborhood. Minutes later, more calls reporting shots flooded in from different locations, including a small elementary school.

That is who the GOP is
That is who the NRA is.

They don't give a sh*t about those murdered with guns.
It is all about the GOP and the NRA
