18. Hell no I am not going to blame Islam! There are nearly 2 billion Muslims.

Islamic terrorism is definitely a problem, but I am not going to blame the whole religion.

Yikes!

That's like saying all Christians are like the KKK.

2. THANKS, you murder-loving ****ers at NRA!

6. Gee, I dunno....

Maybe it's constant lobbying against any reasonable gun control laws.

Constant lobbying for more guns in more places (schools, bars, etc.).

Giving brazilions of dollars to pro-gun candidates.

Actively trying to unseat any politician that is for any kind of gun control.

"My cold, dead hands."

Promoting "the Nuge" as a figurehead.
(Someone who actually threatened violence against Hillary Clinton).

Against SAFETY FEATURES in guns.

Against ammo limits.

I could go on.....

51. Where do you think all of those guns come from?

The criminal element have so many guns cause the NRA has lobbied to make more guns then people and therefore society is oversaturated with guns. Plus considering a gun can exist for about 5 human lifetime it makes them as expendable as happy meal toys. Not real hard for some moron to find one if they want.

82. Adding to the horrible and disgusting practices of the NRA is the simple fact that gun ownership is protected only in connection to a well regulated militia.

If we did what we were supposed to do the only way this guy could have had a gun in the first place is if he was a part of the militia and took the gun out of the locked case at the well regulated militia building and went out and did this.

Our interpretation of the 2nd amendment is courtesy of the NRA and for profit corporations.

73. *sigh* As I've said a few times in this thread: NRA enables this type of crime.

I don't directly blame them, but they sure make it easier to commit this kind of crime.

76. He also shouted "Allahu Akbar". Using your logic, that would mean that Islam was just as much of an
enabler to this type crime as the NRA.

84. *bzzzt* Wrong. The NRA is an organization promoting the proliferation of deadly weapons.

Islam is not a monolithic entity and has any number of interpretations and practices.
ALL the world's major religions do.

As I said upthread, blaming Islam for this is like blaming Christianity for what the KKK does.

but congrats on not using the "he'd have just used a knife" argument. progress.

100. AA criminals smacks of racism

White gun culture smacks of privilege.

AA have a real need for guns.

Whites do not.

That is the sense I get from reading posts like the one linked.

that could have been sarcasm... but I am not sure...

49. And yet white right wing terrorists again unnoticed by media

Austin TX
A confidential source told the FBI that Steven Thomas Boehle, 50, is a right-wing extremist who had planned the attack, according to the affidavit. The six-page filing does not give many specifics about the alleged plot, but does reveal that on April 12 Austin police seized three guns and about 1,100 rounds of ammunition from a North Austin residence where Boehle had been staying.

The document says the source told authorities Boehle “exhibits sovereign citizen extremism ideology.”

This one is an anti-government white guy who broke in and stole 16 assault weapons and mailed a 160 page manifesto to Trump.

"When you look at his document that he wrote, it's really a long list of injustices he believes the government and society and the upper class have put forward onto the rest of the citizens, so there's really nothing specific where he's saying, 'I was wronged in this way' or 'I was wronged in that way,'" Spoden said. "It's just an overview that he feels that government and law enforcement, in particular, are acting as terrorists and enslaving the people and creating this environment that he finds unacceptable."

Wonder what would happen if these guys were brown skinned and called Abdullah.

one is arrested and in jail- hadn't shot anyone- the other is the focus of a man hunt- also hasn't shot anyone... but is a trump hating leftist...

you linked news articles to them.... google has thousands on hit on them...

63. I've no idea what you are talking about. Google what? Are you telling me that these Stories about white terrorist plots have been well reported on national news? Cause I don't see much discussion about either.

But I guess you must have heard a lot about them so I apologize for giving you agita.

Of course, in keeping with the DUmmies' twisted sensibilities, none of them blame the demented ideologies of radical Islam and racism that drove this killer, and they certainly don't blame the killer himself (Ultra- liberals believe in never blaming the psycho who actually committed the crime), but instead blame the NRA, an organization which had nothing to do with it.

"Maybe it's constant lobbying against any reasonable gun control laws."
Fun fact: The vast majority of gun- related crimes, including many mass shootings, are committed using guns that were illegally owned to begin with.
"Constant lobbying for more guns in more places (schools, bars, etc.)."
Here's an inconvenient truth for you DUmmies: Nearly all of the major mass shootings that have happened over the last several years (Virginia Tech, the Aurora Movie Theater, Sandy Hook, the Pulse Nightclub, etc.), have occurred in areas designated as "Gun-Free Zones." Why, it's almost as if violent psychopaths with mass murder on their minds don't care if they break your gun laws, and prefer targeting areas where they are unlikely to run into anyone who might fire back at them!

"84. *bzzzt* Wrong. The NRA is an organization promoting the proliferation of deadly weapons."
 The NRA promote safe, responsible gun ownership, hence their running innumerable classes on gun safety.

"This one is an anti-government white guy who broke in and stole 16 assault weapons and mailed a 160 page manifesto to Trump.

"It's just an overview that he feels that government and law enforcement, in particular, are acting as terrorists and enslaving the people and creating this environment that he finds unacceptable."
You actually call this guy a "Right wing terrorist"?
It sounds like he's about as liberal as they come (Hates Trump, hates cops, hates "The 1%," etc.).
I'm genuinely surprised the DUmp aren't hailing him as a wonderful hero.

You have to read down 2/3 of this article, but there the LAT mentions facts that prove this murderer violated the law (of CA and probably every other US state) in owning a gun. He was a convicted felon. So gun control laws - CA's are among the most stringent in the US - were irrelevant, except to the degree (if any) such laws disarmed this murderers victims and witnesses.

I think the LAT's assessment that the influences on this guy - what led him to hatred and murder of white people - was the Nation of Islam and other Black Nationalists. But that's a "there" which DU-folk won't go and from which DU-folk "must" deflect.

If that's the case, then after the Constitution was ratified, why didn't the gov't go around and gather everyone's guns and lock them up in case they were needed later on by the militia?

Fish. Barrel. Boom.

Yeah, the idea that people owning, keeping, and using their own guns would save large amounts of training time for militias just wouldn't penetrate Progs' gun-hatred-armored skulls.

Except for those DU-member clocks whose hands fell off (e.g. Crayzee Buggee Laydee and TMN).

These lunatics sometimes just make a person want to puke.

How they can be so consistent in being inconsistent is baffling.

When DUmmies talk of gun control, they really want this.

1. Big deal. I shoot that on a good weekend.

2. North Austin, says a deranged democrat voter.

3. I'm so old I remember that a Confederate flag in one facebunk page was enough to condemn all of the south and whites in general. Yelling "allah snackbar" and "I hate all whites" means nothing.
