Dayton police killed the shooter 30 seconds after he fired his first shot. He still managed to kill 9 people and injure over a dozen.

Jesus. That's insane.

Thirty seconds is a lot of time for a shooter. Even an untrained one. While the police response was exceptionally fast this time... It is generally not the norm

But it will still be used as proof for the good guy with a gun fallacy 😔

My sister on Facebook asks why Democrats are going gun control crazy now. After all, there were shootings when Obama was in office and had a majority, but they didn't do anything, either.

Finally, RuPaul gets the credit he deserves.

So, more guns don't seem to solve the problem. I guess the next logical step is to encourage wearing body armor and combat helmets in public?

This was brought up on ITV this morning (major British TV station), by the Daily Mail editor they pair up most mornings with a leftist tabloid editor to discuss news: why Obama speaks up now he had 8 years to fix this. WTF.

2 more mass shootings and the whole phenomenon will be squarely Obama's doing.

I think that's hyperbolic.  We are still very far from the situation where we have enough guns to reduce firearm deaths.  Let's first make sure that everyone openly carries an assault rifle before we conclude that more guns don't reduce firearm deaths.

It's like people have the memory of goldfish.  It makes it very easy to excoriate people no matter what they do.

You know I joke about Republicans having no understanding of the Constitution, but it's becoming less and less funny.
The President doesn't make the laws, unless he is Donald Trump and one of his handpicked judges looks the other way.

But ... but ... he had a majority in both houses at some point!

Which shootings took place during that time? It was almost a decade ago now.

Yeah from 2009-2011. In any case now she is upset that Obama wasn't a totalitarian tyrant who came and took her guns?

Besides it was not a huge majority and it is not like all Democrats are in favor of gun control. But I guess this is what happens when propaganda convinces you all your opponents are identical drones with no differing opinions among them.

[Syt]

Well, she also recently posted an old interview with Obama where he spoke out against illegal immigration and in favor of protecting the borders. She was surprised and asked why Democrats are now against protecting the border and in favor of illegals.
