    So are we saying the most dangerous people in a mass shooting are the ones with phones. Its not the ones with the guns... Got it.

    Something like this happens every day of the year in our most racist gun control cities? Please show me where 25 people were shot today? how about on the Aug 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th.......

    you can't cause you are all lies. You make city folk (black and brown folk) into the boogie man. Get a grip on reality and stop lying.

    So if that's the case these cities are apparently soooooooo evil that a multitude of their citizens drive all the way to neighboring states to buy guns without producing ID, even though that's illegal in all 50 states, just so they can drive all the way back home to kill their neighbors? Pretty sure that's not the case.

    The criminal in question was a career criminal who had just been fired from his job. He did posess have the guns legally.

    First of all, my post said nothing whatsoever about anything "racist". It referred to "fascist" policies.

    Secondly, nice bubble you live in, I guess?

    Yes, I have commented about it before, quite a few times over the last decade. I am at a loss as to what you see that is different from other videos of murders. Seems pretty much like all the rest.

    All you have to do is walk up to any guy in the back of his pickup on some street corner and buy one of his guns. You can do this in nearly all 50 states.
    I never said a word about this guy because I knew nothing of the circumstances so I have no idea how that came up. Must be some sort of wild eyed fantasy.

    "Gun show loophole is a political term in the United States referring to the sale of firearms by private sellers, including those done at gun shows, that do not meet federal background check requirements. This is dubbed the private sale exemption or "secondary market".
    Federal law requires background checks for commercial gun sales, but not for private-party sales whereby any person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of the same state as long as they do not know or have reasonable cause to believe the purchaser is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law.
    Under federal law, private-party sellers are not required to perform background checks on buyers, record the sale, or ask for identification, whether at a gun show or other venue. This is in contrast to sales by gun stores and other Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders, who are required to perform background checks and record all sales on almost all buyers, regardless of whether the venue is their business location or a gun show."

    Well I sure wouldn't connect this tragedy in Texas with Bundy's militia in Burns and govt conspiracy theories trying to martyr those assholes....wrong fucking thread if you ask me. The 17 month old baby shot by this rage filled redneck was not protesting the constitution as far as I know.

    That loophole is how the Garlic shooter got his gun and probably many other mass shooters. There needs to be background checks on all gun sales and no sales to customers who reside in a different state. Need to crack down on this.

    "Private party gun sales in Oregon now require a criminal background check. Also, any private party gun transfers in Oregon now require a criminal background check. Meaning, loaning your hunting rifle to your best friend requires the same background check as selling the rifle to a complete stranger."

    Maybe six years ago now, we had a stalking cougar in our neighborhood. He was seen by several people when we decided to get the bugger before we had a real problem.
    My neighbor shot the cat, a crippled male with the shot gun I loaned him for the task. I loaned out 3 weapons for that task, and glad I did. The cat was stalking the ladies on their daily walk through our wooded neighborhood. We do not have a police force, our homeowners association is the only organizations we have to take action.
    @SlyPokerDog pointed out to me that I could not do this anymore under the new law. Pretty fucked up in my view, but Portlanders like it.

    I don't think people should be allowed to loan out their guns. That is irresponsible gun ownership. Once you loan it to someone you lose control of how it may be used or what could happen to it or with it.

    Well, you do not get to make decisions for all people, An I have no intention of you having this authority.
    One dead cat. Did not lose any ladies. I stand by my action and will repeat if necessary.

    A lawful organization, such as a homeowners organization can not be prevented from creating a militia when ever needed. The ability to share weapons is essential in creating a militia.

    I hope you do!

    It's a felony and you will give up your gun rights.

    Never said I did. I expressed an opinion. Don't get your panties in a bunch. You have no intention of me having this authority? Glad you think so much of me. It is good everyone was safe from the cougar.

    I thought about saying, thank you for your support. But on second thought, GFY!

    I would almost enjoy taking this to a jury trial.

    I agree. The cat was on three legs, old ladies and small dogs was about all he could get.
