The Demoncratic party...
Tuesday Twitter took down McConnell's page because he posted this in his defense.

Itn't it AMAZING that the shootings start like clock work when it is dem campaigns start.
2015-16 , then before the mid terms, and now that the 2020 run has started, here we go again.
I wonder if the dem's are taking a page out of the muzzie hand book.
Do what we ask of you and we'll make sure your family is taken care of.
There is no way. the timing of election campaigns and these "events" are a hapstance .

I think he's making good sense what he's saying. I don't want to discount the religious aspect of this discussion, because as a devote Catholic, there are certainly things which would take issue with these actions.
I do *understand* the thought that goes through these people's minds. If I'm going to channel my celebrity psychology family lineage (Karl Jaspers) in trying to understand the logic here... I'd probably say these people feel that, as the speaker is saying, they've reached a point where they've run out of options.
I'd have to assume of course there's more going on there, because a chemically "normal" person would continue to look for options... can I fix my situation, are there any options I have? I dunno... psychosis tends to fester, but there has to be an imbalance first. Whether we want to admit it or not... we've all wanted to get revenge at times. While my Christian values sometimes succeed in convincing me to take the high road (and usually leads to a positive outcome), there are other times where I've allowed myself to really get drawn into my own misery and I'd want to do something. Now, a sane person, once you reach that point, you consider consequences, the Golden rule, etc... and again... any sane person would prevent themselves from going down whatever that path is.
I can't say I've *ever* thought about shooting a place up. Though I have had dreams where I've magically teleported next to... Vladamir Putin, Ayatolla, Hitler, or Kim Jung Un... and I've got a gun. Answer is simple... I'm dead either way, might as well take one for my country and solve a problem. But here's where I think what the speaker says is flawed... no sane person would ever contemplate shooting up a bunch of innocent people. That's just not a thing. I grew up with Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, etc... so I experienced violent games just as much as the next younger Gen-Xer, or any of the Millennials. Hell... I even hacked the SpectraVision box in the hotel that my father managed, and had full access to pornography from 11-12 until my parents found out. So I've been exposed to all kinds of trash... and still, never once thought about shooting up or blowing up anything.
I agree with a lot of what he says, and I know people can allow themselves to get to a dark point in their lives... but there's a difference between sane and insane. No sane person believes mass-murder is a solution to anything.. |

It’s quite refreshing to see critical thinking without the laziness of extremism.
You always seem more interested in the exploration of a problem rather then the domination of it.
You seem quite comfortable with not pretending that you have all the answers or the necessity of divisions to stupidly simplify the problem.
Every one of us is completely capable of going off the deep end, be it voluntary or involuntary.
100% empathy is not a given, for anyone.
There are no monsters.
There’s just us, and our ability/inabilitiy to self-control.
I suspect someone will be along here momentarily to prove that point...[This message has been edited by Boondawg (edited 08-08-2019).]

Like your inability to control your drug and alcohol abuse?
Should people like you with serious drug and alcohol abuse problems be allowed to own guns?

As seen as nor, you or your buddy. rande have any first hand knowledge of anything to stop or limit boons #2 amend rights.
your judgement of who should be allowed in your eyes is treasonous.
But don't let something like first hand info, /facts and knowledge of impairment in the eyes of the laws written and enforcement stop you, and your OPINION of who should be able to keep their #2 amend rights.
Now, if boon has been popped by the law for being on illegal drugs and intoxicated from them, on multiple occasions,
and /or has been popped for being intoxicated from booze on multiple occasions, while carrying a firearm.( THIS IS KEY)
then you might have a point.
But unless you or your buddy. pulled his record and know that he in fact has been popped multiple times. and if either one of you two have your scum
As seen as you have never been around him or anyone else to know their mental state and abilty ,while pass the legal limit per the law.
to make a blanket statement that you did above is beyond foolish.
As many gun owners are past the legal limit of booze while at home ,that would get them a DUI if driving, a few times a week.
By your statement above of no,change my mind, they should all loose their #2 ament rights.
because they get a buzz after work at home in their home be it booze,weed or other.
By your thinking you want 80% of the US of A population dis armed.
how liberal of you.

Trigger was the name of a horse. Triggered is what you are. Literally your whole diatribe is based on your hapless opinion.
About that 2nd thingie... do you have the right to carry? If not, STFU. 
Not changing my rating of you. Keeping it positive. I want to hear exactly what it is you have to say. Heck, I will even tone it down for you. I cannot type as slow as you need me to though. You will just have to keep up on your own. K.[This message has been edited by Tony Kania (edited 08-09-2019).]

shocking you can't have a civil reply.
nice touch editing my post that you quoted.
Again. my post was on YOUR OPINION and it's flaws.
in your eyes. only a goodie two shoes that don't drink, don't get high EVER should be allowed to have a firearm.
Those without thy cracks in thy glass house , shouldth throw the 1st stone.
What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is confusing to you.
And you say my post and thinking is 3rd grade level. pfft.
As for being able to carry, yes even in your state.
So don't tell me or anyone else to STFU.
only liberals try to silence opinions they don't want to hear, are you try'n to show your true colours  [This message has been edited by E.Furgal (edited 08-09-2019).]
