How do you defeat the ideology in Islam when all the apologists do is deflect to Christianity whenever an attack like this occurs on American soil? The trend can be so obvious it hurts but they still point to their one Muslim friend and say not all Muslims. The mainstream media gives these people a platform like no other, and then the president uses it as a platform to pass more gun legislation. The have absolutely no idea how much they help these people when they try to not make it seem as bad as it actually is. I am most worried for Europe right now because they are going to fucking feel it a hell of a lot more if this is not addressed.
The Founding Fathers of America knew that the government of the United States could turn on the people and oppress them someday. The sole reason for guns and the 2nd Amendment was so that the entire body of the People of the United States could protect themselves and fight back if/when the government tries to enslave the People. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting or even protecting yourself and your property - although guns can and should be used to protect yourself and your property. Guns and the 2nd Amendment has EVERYTHING to do with preserving Freedom.
I mean what are their principles, it doesn’t seem like anyone likes them but then you have randoms joining them. It can’t just be because of those snazzy recruitment videos.
How come these people get to have gay clubs? If someone was to open a straights-only club, everyone would lose their minds! And don’t get me started on the Bravo network
Dude probably was more mad at the fact that the gay dudes were both brolic and beautiful looking like Jojo Pillar men, meanwhile his weak ass over here looking like your basic smash player.
Of course being interviewed by the fbi and being tied to terrorist groups wasn’t enough to keep him from being able to purchase a fucking AR-15 type assault rifle lol. Maybe if he was a felon for some drug charges that would have stopped him because we know how dangerous those drug people are sitting on their asses getting high.
The only assholes that think gun laws are fine the way they are actively profit from said laws, are dumb enough to believe a machine gun can protect them from the most powerful military force in the world since the dawn of man, or are racist fuckwads that need their guns to send a message to minorities.
There is no correlation between gun policy (for OR against) and mass killings. America is bad, but you also have shit holes in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. The issue is with a culture that glorifies violence (applies to American media as well as ISIS propaganda) and a lack of internal unity to direct that energy elsewhere.

Hectorville Siege
Adelaide family shooting in 2014
Several others with 3 or more injured/dead
Plus gang shootings and police negligence
Officially, our definition has been changed to five dead, and the victims must be unrelated.
Our massacre incident rate is almost identical to pre-Port Arthur, we just bomb, bash and stab each other instead.
He walked up and bought the gun despite having been a person of interest for the FBI twice and having complaints lodged against him at work for speaking about violence.
And I’m tired of people coming up here every fucking time this comes up saying gun laws in the US don’t work. They don’t work because states vary wildly with gun laws. NY has very strict gun laws, but its neighboring states don’t. You can literally just drive over, buy a gun, and bring it over. It’s legal! So the whole “these are illegal guns” argument doesn’t really hold up.
There are few federal laws overseeing and restricting the purchases of firearms because that’s where the lobbyists are targeting congressmen. Because of that, states have been left on their own to decide how to handle gun laws. Until that’s addressed, no matter how strict you make your gun laws, someone can just drive a couple hours away, purchase the gun legally, and bring it back with them.
So please, before you go on to say gun restrictions don’t work, look at the full picture.
