    Well, then that whole thing took care of itself then.

    Trump will want to turn us into a police state anyway.

    How strict do you imagine gun control to be in Chicago?

    Too strict. Only the bad guys have an easy time getting a gun.

    Time to let the good guys get them. Time to encourage the good guys to get them to defend themselves.

    Anyway, this is an awful thing to have happen. Given the age of the alleged perp, I'm thinking there might be a little dementia involved.

    If this guy was a Bernie supporter, well . . . that's pretty much the definition of a "leftie" now isn't it? The tolerant, rational, inclusive left. They never change.

    It's not particularly difficult to get a gun legally. You have to apply for a FOID card and that takes a while to process. There are no gun stores in Chicago, but many in the suburbs. There's a 72 hour waiting period to buy a handgun, 24 hours for a long gun. Concealed carry requires completing a two day class.

    Doubt it.

    Seems he was a real loonie leftie.

    “I want Bernie to Win the White House” and “Bernie is a Progressive, while Hillary is Republican Lite.”

    The Road To Hell Is Paved With Republicans; Rachel Maddow For President 2020; Sanders For President 2020; Terminate The Republican Party; and Donald Trump is not my President. (Facebook groups he belonged too)

    Stop being an ageist! Old people can kill just as well as the young ones. ;)

    And look at the title of that thread.
    "Another Civil War".
    Is this lone kook a Civil War?
    Let's count how many there are of him.

    "They", implies a group.
    Again, let's count how many there are of him.

    We'll see how much fun you think it is when more of this kind of shit happens.

    As it inevitably will.

    Yeah yeah, it's all a big joke, innit Dickynoo? Well, the press is going to be wall-to-wall with this thing, which drastically increases the chance of copycat incidents. And even if that doesn't happen, the climate in the country has gotten so partisan that no outbreak of political violence would surprise me.

    When you let everyone have a gun you will end up with nutjobs with guns.

    No.
    Just your and FF's behavior.
    Thanks for cheering us up with your 3 Stooges antics.
    It's really let the pressure out.
