The old wanted posters supposedly used in the 19th Century West come to mind: "Wanted, Dead or Alive". I know better, in our allegedly civilized society, but those people who were killed and wounded were my brothers and sisters in Christ.
What is it the DUmmies like to claim? Agent Provocateur?This was probably some left wing nut job that wants to get firearms banned.KC
Or wants the race war started.
“We don’t have all the facts, but we do know that once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun,†Obama said in the White House briefing room, Vice President Joe Biden standing at his side.
Barry is reportedly "angry" at the shootings. Nice job, Barry:You can stop right there with "we don't have all the facts" because the rest of the shit that came out of your cock holster had flies buzzing around it.You once again illustrate your profound ignorance and idiocy in how to handle a racially-tinged tragedy -- unless, of course, you're deliberately fanning the flames.So which is it, Barry? Are you a leader of the entire nation or just those who hate guns?You're a ****ing disgrace, Barry. Go crawl back into the hole that you came from.https://www.yahoo.com/politics/obama-on-charleston-its-too-easy-to-get-guns-in-121848101296.html
According to a 2013 Pew Research study, 37 percent of households had an adult who owned a gun — 24 percent said they owned a gun, and 13 percent said someone else in their household did.There are about 319 million people in the United States, so that means there are about 118 milion gun owners in this nation. Mother Jones reports there have been 69 mass shootings in the last 30 years. The Washington Post says, a Congressional Research Service report published in 2013 counted 78 incidents over roughly the same period, in which 547 were killed.That means, out of 118 million gun owners, 78 or .00007 percent of the gun owning population are potential mass murderers (using a 30-year total).

He is sentencedto life in prison in January 2012.April 30, 2010Darren Huff, an Oath Keeper from Georgia, is arrested and charged with planning the armed takeover of a Madisonville, Tenn., courthouse and “arrest†of 24 local, state and federal officials.

He is sentenced in May 2012 to four years in federal prison.May 10, 2010Sandlin Matthew Smith detonates a pipe bomb at a rear entrance to a mosque in Jacksonville, Fla., while worshippers are inside.

A search of Smith’s two homes turns up explosive materials.May 20, 2010A father and son team of “sovereign citizens†who believe police have no right to regulate road travel murder West Memphis, Ark., police officers Robert Brandon Paudert, 39, and Thomas William “Bill†Evans, 38, during a routine traffic stop on an I-40 exit ramp. The incident begins when Jerry Kane, 45, starts to argue with the officers over his bogus vehicle paperwork and then pushes Evans into a roadside ditch.

Williams allegedly later tells authoritiesthat he was on his way to attack offices of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Tides Foundation, a liberal organization that, although little known to most Americans, has been repeatedly pilloried on air by Fox News host Glenn Beck.

Harbin is indicted on two counts of possessing a destructive device and a third of transporting destructive devices.

Charleston killer Dylann Roof apparently left a ranting, racist manifesto on the internet calling for a new civil war in America before staging his massacre in a church.A website hosting the document, seemingly written by Roof, 21, not long before the killings at the Emanuel AME Church emerged Saturday, and said he had 'no choice' but to carry out the massacre.On the site, he pinpoints Charleston, South Carolina, as his target because of its high proportion of blacks, bemoans that there is 'no real KKK' to help him, and claims he has 'no choice' but to act.
