How long before Alex Jones and Gina tell us that El Paso and Dayton didn't happen or if they did they were part of a conspiracy to take everyone's guns away?

HOW ABOUT A COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH EXAM FOR EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL WHO ATTEMPTS TO PURCHASE A WEAPON??

Fixed that for ya

Actually I am with you 100% Vince. But I was trying to make a point. Trump is purposely looking away from his own kind. It's painful for me to admit as a white male myself. But white males are perpetrating 95% of this hatred and mayhem.

Wouldn't that get in the way of selling as many guns as possible? Isn't that the most important part of this situation? We have elected people who think the business model and financial interests of the gun industry in the USA is to be protected before the lives of the citizens of the USA. Trump, Pence, McConnell, McCarthy, Scalise (somehow), Gov. Abbott of Texas, and many others literally are sacrificing people to help the bottom line of gun sellers.

Once again, I feel if you really believe this to be a gun issue and not a Mental Health problem, we are fixing nothing.

Starting to look like a series-wide failure of hardwiring by now, as if an entire generation needs a recall.

Not very different at all from those we've elected who place the well being of Illegal Aliens incarcerated at the border for crossing Illegally over the health of Veterans who sleep in the streets.

Amen Brother. Amen.

Can you reference a politician who specifically stated this?

Right, there is more than one problem in the world.

I don't really see how griping about immigrants can fix a mass shooting epidemic.

If this has a "mental health solution" what is it and are Republicans fighting for and funding this solution? Also, has it stopped any mass shootings?

This is pure unadulterated horseshit.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respectively disagree with you.

This is a false equivalency. One has nothing to do with the other, no politician has stated this. It's just unrelated issues that you stitched together in an over-simplified fashion to create a straw man argument that fails to address the topic. Judge a Society by its Prisons, especially those holding children.

Once again, I feel if you really believe this to be a gun issue and not a Mental Health problem, we are fixing nothing.

I am not so quick to fully agree here. I would love to see mental health care improve big time, however if we adhere strictly to the statement above, then every murder in the United States could be attributed to mental health issues. There will be no fix all solution here, we gonna have fight to save one life at a time, we are going to have to start using all tools at our disposal, be it back round checks, education, public involvement etc??.....Peace....joe

Nah, let's just blame the other party and let the country get shot full of holes like Bonnie and Clyde.

then every murder in the United States could be attributed to mental health issues.

Absolutely not. Just the ones where the intent was to kill or maim as many innocent people as possible.

we should be rejecting language from any leader that feeds into fear and hatred.

Agreed. Every single individual can choose to make that decision.....

So all Terrorists are "mentally ill" and not responsible for their actions? Also, are you a Mental Health Specialist?

My grand kids now live in Idaho and we visited them there this weekend for one of the boys birthday. We didn't really explore the area much(South Eastern Idaho) and the people we meet were all nice. At the airport, in Idaho Falls, as we were waiting to board our plane. I spotted a white male with the iron cross tattooed to his elbow. Idaho is known for having the one largest number of Neo-Nazi's and white supremacists groups in the west. So when they moved there I was concerned about my grandsons being at some point coming across people like that.

I think anyone who displays a symbol like that shouldn't be allowed to own a gun period EOS. The kids in the picture choking AOC...all of them should not be allowed to own a gun and if they have one now it should be taken away from them. The kid who stood in front of the native American with his stupid shit eating grin should never have a weapon or any of the kids who have displayed the 3 finger white power symbol in their high school photos.

Any form of hate speech or symbols should be the low bar for preventing people from having a gun of any type.

If we should succeed in getting background check websites and social media sites should be asked for so they can be searched for hate speech.

Yes "anyone" who wants to buy a weapon should be put under a psychological evaluation...everyone!! plus safety and ethics classes about how the gun is tool and not an end all for being angry.

We should have on going buy back programs for those willing to give up weapons they don't need if they feel they want to give up a weapon.

See the thread (Peach fest) where this point was brought up, I guess if it's someone you like, it doesn't matter

If someone comes to buy a weapon and in their background and social media check, they find a violent message of hate against any person...It doesn't matter if I personally like the person they hate or not...they should not be allowed a weapon.

As long as there is no "Call to action" it is free speech as protected by the 1st amendment

Any form of hate speech

Please provide the legal definition of "Hate speech"

I'm not playing your game Vince if you haven't figured out what hate speech is by this time in your life I'm not here to educate you. You haven't been paying attention for a long time as you hide being semantics and word games to justify your thoughtless positions in life.

Hate speech is not protected..go tell you neighbor your going to kill him and see the response from the police when he calls them

I'm not playing your game Vince if you haven't figured out what hate speech is by this time in your life I'm not here to educate you.

I am asking you to educate everybody.

What is the LEGAL definition of "Hate speech"?

Hate speech is not protected..go tell you neighbor your going to kill him and see the response from the police when he calls them

This is not "Hate speech" my friend, because by legal definition, there is NO SUCH THING. It is a threat of physical violence which is a crime.

Know the difference

Again sorry Vince if anyone here in or age group has a question on what hate speech is I'd say they've live as ignorant people that use word games to justify their vile ideologies

As Ben Franklin said "we're all born ignorant but you have to work hard to stay that way"...congratulation you embody that phrase in all your posts
