The shooter wasn't mental (as Trump prematurely claimed), he was a man who got mad at his relatives, one of whom attended the church.
Quote:
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Tex. — The massacre here that killed more than two dozen people — the youngest of them just 18 months old — occurred amid an ongoing “domestic situation” involving the gunman and his relatives, at least one of whom had attended the church, law enforcement officials said Monday.
I think the misrepresentations were rather trivial. If the president didn't regularly mangle the English language, tell lies repeatedly, and demonstrate such a loose grasp of facts, reporters might not jump so quickly to these mistaken conclusions.
It is a damn national shame that we can't agree on some simple gun regulation.
It's certainly a shame that the Democrats seek to violate the Second Amendment. No shame in the Republicans protecting our civil rights.

I think there should be a law against a reporter shoving a microphone in the face of a family member who just lost someone in an insane massacre. There is no good purpose for this. It is the height (or depth) of exploitation and appeal to sick curiosity.
I fully agree. I think the same of TV showing grieving families arriving at airports after a big plane crash.

If only all the people who attend Sunday Service at every church across America come with automatic weapons and lots of ammunition then American church-goers will finally be safe.
Yes. Lots of places allow people to carry guns in church for that very reason.
The term "automatic weapons" implies full auto though. Full auto may be a bit much for self defense.

Gun ownership and the 2nd Amendment apparently has little effect on protecting us from deranged folks who are armed.
It's pretty good at protecting the people who carry guns when they go about in public. Not so good at protecting people who don't carry guns.

The congressman who said he “would love to invalidate” the Endangered Species Act is closing in on his goal.
One part of the SHARE Act would prevent wolves from being returned to endangered status, ensuring that they can continue to be hunted. That's not the most important part of the bill by far, but it's there in one corner of the bill.

No we dont. We hate people who use their guns to kill othhers and the enablers who make that possible.
The left's mad scramble to try to violate the Second Amendment shows that they do indeed hate our freedom.
The terrorists hate our freedom too. This shared hatred of freedom is why the left so often cheers for terrorists when they massacre innocent Americans.
Probably nearly every murder seems like a crazy person did it, unless it was somehow justified and/or self defense.
My point was that Trump is too quick to fire off without waiting for facts, unless of course it was Charlottesville.
