monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Yes if the shooter was a law-abiding citizen following the law about not bringing a gun to a public place, such as a church.

If he wasn't a law-abiding citizen, that it is why I brought up background checks.

Most of the past mass shootings involved someone converting their legal gun into an illegal gun able to shoot like a machine gun or something of that sort.

Moreover, we shouldn't be allowed to buy any guns that shoot a mass amount of bullets in a few minutes.

You're just making that up, and you're not even aware of it. So how much more of what you will say should I take as fact?

Most of the past mass shootings involved someone converting their legal gun into an illegal gun able to shoot like a machine gun or something of that sort.

Tim O’Brien, Bloomberg’s senior adviser, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday morning and tried to defend Bloomberg once again over stop-and-frisk, among other things. But, in so doing, he offered a damning and cautionary tale about the nature of the man. O’Brien said:

“I think he’s a stubborn man who has believed in a lot of social programs that he rammed through because he thought they were difficult, and he thought they were proper.”

That's not Bloomberg's point.

CINCINNATI – Even though it looked like a rifle, the gun used to kill nine people and wound at least 14 more was likely classified as a pistol, skirting laws restricting short-barreled rifles.

Will the device on Connor Betts' weapon, called a "pistol brace," become the next bump stock in nation's gun control debate?

Here's what we know about the AR-15 style .223 caliber firearm used in the Dayton shooting Sunday:

It was legally purchased by Betts' from an online retailer in Texas. It then was transferred to him by a local firearms dealer who would be required to perform a background check, police said.

Nothing on Betts' criminal record would have prevented him from buying a gun.

He used legal-to-own 100-round drum magazines.

The lower receiver, which houses the trigger, was made by Anderson

Manufacturing in Hebron, Kentucky. Under federal law, the lower receiver is the gun. Purchasing a lower receiver requires a background check. All other parts of guns, such as barrels and stocks, can be bought legally off the shelf or online.

Betts could have had as many as 250 rounds in his possession; he fired at least 41 rounds in about 30 seconds.

▪ The same congressional report found one mass killing in which a semiautomatic rifle had been illegally converted into a fully automatic weapon. It happened in 2011 when a mentally challenged man entered a Nevada restaurant, killed four people and wounded another seven.

Speaking of autocratic oligarchs, who's the billionaire with the questionable financial past who claims he has the absolute right and power to do anything he wants and no one can stop him. It's not Bloomberg.

the shooter was an average citizen. no gun for him either.

That's not Bloomberg's point. It's your mistaken point about it.

Most of the past mass shootings involved someone converting their legal gun into an illegal gun able to shoot like a machine gun or something of that sort.

I am fairly good at googling.

MJ point was if the shooter didn't have a gun in the first place, no shooting would have occurred so it wouldn't matter who stopped the shooter. Most of these shooters get their guns in a legal way and are not criminals. If people were not allowed to carry their guns in public places, no one would have had a gun as law-abiding citizens following the law. Get it now?

Having better background checks would go a long way to having a better chance of keeping guns away from those who should not a gun in the first place. Those with mental issues which lend to violence or those with records of violence in their past. Also, making sure guns are not able to made into guns with the capability of shooting a mass amount of people in a few minutes would also help. Those are simple common-sense gun laws that I don't understand why anyone would object to them.

That is two.

Moreover, we shouldn't be allowed to buy any guns that shoot a mass amount of bullets in a few minutes.

So the question is; do we ignore that and hope he can use the same tools (fighting fire with fire) as Trump to beat Trump? What would that make us?
