One day, some liberal is going to spontaneously grow a pair of balls and realize that until they start acknowledging the predominant source of gun crime, they're going to remain a laughingstock. I have no hope of that happening, since not even BLM has a damned thing to say about it.
On a different thread, about the other mass shooting this past weekend that happened in Dallas, a DUmmy comes close to pointing out that reality but fails to actually put it in so many words.

2. 2nd amendment apologists are all type-cast Lady McBeths
In the USA as it is today, to defend the 2nd-A is to have blood on one's hands and blinders on the eyes, plus a large hole in the heart space where morality is supposed to be.
2nd Amendment bad!!!!

3. This is all on the NRA fascist gun humpers and their lobbyists. NRA was a decent group 50 years ago.
It's insanity now. Total fear and anger whipped up by 45 years of Limbaugh and the right.
NRA bad!!!!!!

16. All the Russian money that has been funneled their way in the last decade or so
was part of Putin's plan to arm America to the teeth and sow dissent through cyber warfare and watch it implode IMO. It nearly worked. Of course they made sure that found it's way to the politicians too
Russian money?? Huh?? I never got my check for my firearm purchases. Who do I complain to?

6. I don't know who the shooter(s) are but I would bet good money
that they bought the gun legally and were a 'law abiding citizen' right up to the time the shooting began.
God or somebody save me from the Law Abiding Citizens among us.
Legal gun owner (Um, highly doubtful in this situation) bad!!!!!

20. Oddly, they don't say who's concert.
Was is country music?
Was it hip hop?
Was it classical?
I guess the whys and wherefores don't matter.
Classical and country concerts thrown in as options because there are so many examples of violence at those events.

25. I find that odd, too
it begs the natural question, who was playing?

26. maybe they left it unsaid
because it was an african-american event, per the link above.
Oh no, it was a rap concert. That kills the entire narrative.

Damn, Skittles is stupid.

28. progress?
when the right discusses gun violence, black-on-black shootings are what they focus on. but it's usually the focus on the internecine gun violence in chicago because it's a "democrat city".
Oh I see, ignoring violence in the black communities is progress. It makes perfect sense. If you point it out you're a racist.
