    Possibly. But in this case, he's riffing on the Alex Jones'/Alt-Right types who think the Vegas shooting is a fake.

    While the mass murder is unremarkable, the WF period until we make light of it has sharply decreased. Good work.

    Haven't confirmed this yet, but I've heard that a neighbor of the church exchanged gunfire with the perp and when the bad guy got in his vehicle to leave, the neighbor and another guy chased him in another vehicle (the black pickup you may have seen in aerial shots from the place where the chase ended), eventually running him off the road. Law enforcement showed up and either shot the perp or he shot himself.

    I'm glad someone fucking said it, or I would have.

    When will it be enough to decide we take steps to change our gun culture? I'm pretty sure the majority of people in that church were armed or otherwise knowledgeable in guns because Texas and the guy still managed to kill nearly 30 people so far.

    I thought part of the reason nothing was done after Sandy Hook was because idiot conservatives would rather literally die than give Obama any support whatsoever, but no. We got rid of bump stocks but the gun community didn't give a rat's ass about those anyway. I won't hold my breath on anything happening here.

    You SERIOUSLY think people in an area where private gun ownership is common still haul them everywhere? Or to church? I

    26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley. Shooter. He drove to the church. Apparently wasn't from the town.

    The answer is most likely no.

    News is reporting that he was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force due to a court martial. You can't own guns under that scenario.

    Pony boy it all you want, I'm not tossing aside human lives to make trite quotes about bullshit I don't understand. That would be you. I'd like to drag your ass down to Sutherland Springs, Texas, and say that pile of crap in front of those victims. Say it to their faces, you mealy mouthed ignorant, inbred self-absorbed son of a bitch. Tell those people their family members died because freedom and liberty. You cock.

    He's implying that, because Coloratura likes a cartoon aimed primarily at girls, he is in some way a lesser individual.

    This from a guy whose main heroes tried to secede from the US because they weren't allowed to enslave folks any more. I'll take ponies as role models over the Southerners any day.

    And they'd spew less horseshit too.

    The motives of people who fought in the American Civil War are not that cut and dried. Many of them didn't own slaves and had no interest in owning slaves. Some opposed it outright.

    Anyway, they aren't my heroes, my heros consist of people like John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Steve Jobs, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Superman. Though I do admire Robert E Lee as a general and a gentleman.

    I wouldn't put Lennon, Dylan, Jobs, Jefferson or Superman in a "hero" category.

    My prediction: liberal sodomite was offended by church’s anti-sodomy messages. Sh9ots up church because: sodomy and Republicans.
