‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens - Gun Violence in America

Also, if they find like 25 assault weapons and 10,000 rounds of ammo when they arrest you, that’s some significant context as to whether you were serious with your threat.

Ive been told the dems are the real anti semites he must be a fan of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

It’s surreal that I actually find myself worrying when talking about this president. I’ve never loathed a public figure more in my life and whether it’s on a public forum, or even in private texts to friends, I sometimes wonder if I’ve gone too far trying to describe my sheer hatred for this man and whether someone will come knocking on my door. But I’ve never made anything resembling a threat and I see much worse said about him on Twitter

The way I would describe how I feel about Trump is that if we were standing on the street corner together, I would not push him into the path of an oncoming bus, but if he were about to step into the path of that bus, I would not warn him or hold him back.

Life as a dyed-in-the-wool racist seems like a truly terrible existence. Hatred burns up a lot of energy.

I want off the carousel.

Seriously. I only hate a few specific people and it’s pretty draining. Worth it but draining. I can’t see how hating an entire group of people irrationally could be easy or worth it. Way past diminishing returns.

We’re all on it for the rest of our lives unless the Democrats take a House majority, a filibuster-proof Senate majority (or nuke the filibuster) and the White House at the same time. Even then, they probably need to hold the majority by at least 2-3 Senate votes and maybe 5 House votes to be safe.

This play works too well for the GOP. Feign some concern, talk about doing a little teeney tiny something about guns, run out the clock for two weeks or so, rinse and repeat.

Earlier this afternoon, according to a person briefed on the call, the president told LaPierre in another phone call that universal background checks were off the table. “He was cementing his stance that we already have background checks and that he’s not waffling on this anymore,” the source told me. “He doesn’t want to pursue it.”

We got a genius here

you forgot to include the fact that he thought he could kill with a .22 caliber from 3 miles away… pretty sure the max effective range with a skilled marksman accoring to google is 150 yards. If you were to shoot at like a 40 degree angle the bullet might travel 2 miles, but it would probably just leave a bruise at that point

Yeah I think you need a 50cal for a one-mile range. For 3 miles you’d probably have to shoot from way high up and hope to get “lucky” in the same way that some little girl got unlucky on July 4th when some jackass in her neighborhood fired a handgun in the air and it happened to land straight down on her head and kill her.

Only chumps keep their Barrett at home…

Who could have possibly predicted something like this could happen.

Incredibly lucky that no one was shot.

Oh, we can get off the carousel. Right now my top contenders for spots to get off are Guatemala and Spain, but there are a lot of possibilities.
