Congressman Steve Scalise (R) shot

Maybe we should disarm registered democrats? Don't their voters commit most crime anyway?

That would be an interesting statistical study.

Do you bitch about the guy passing you at 95mph on the highway as being "dangerous" while dangerously weaving in and out of 65mph traffic at 80mph too?

And yeah, I'm always driving at 10 over, but never weaving. The guy doing 90 and weaving is a fucking moron.

So much for reading comprehension - but taking your 10mph over, what I said was *you* going 10mph over *while you* are dangerously weaving in and out of traffic, bitching that the guy passing you at 25mph over as "dangerous". (You slower and weaving complaining the guy merely speeding is being unsafe).

I carried the metaphor better than you give me credit for. I'm not one of the SJW fucktards that you're complaining about. I do the equivalent of "10 over and steady" in life, not one of the insaniacs that hit people with bike locks.

Clintonista, Virginia Governor, guy who knows felons vote Democrat, within hours of the shooting, can't help but talk gun-control: We lose ninety-three MILLION Americans a day to gun violence....

3 and a half days and America is a vacant wasteland. This guy's a joke.

He did correct himself to 93 people a day. That's a big number still. 9/11 every 5 weeks or so. Even allowing for suicides that's still a big number. It's more than a year's worth of gun deaths in the UK.
Enjoy your rights America.
If gun control is not the answer( which probably isn't viable due to the insane numbers of guns out there already) what is the answer? Please don't reply ''it's mainly blacks dying'' as if that makes it OK.

The answer is a functioning mental-health system, and a return to accountability in our business culture - things that are much more difficult than simply gunning down people when they snap.

If that was true, most of congress would be in there themselves...

What if being a leftist is a mental illness?

This, from a guy that believes in magic.

Out of curiosity, is that all the media or just the left wing media? Cos there is an awful lot of opinion pieces in rags like Breitbart, Daily Express etc which is lying propaganda inciting hatred towards minorities the left etc.
If we are going to hold them all to accountability and make it illegal to print lies I might be on board, otherwise you are just showing symptoms of butthurt and a yoghurt enema might be all you need....

All.

Ok then, now how do we do this without the suspension of the free press and state censorship? There are already laws in place to stop incitement to violence even in the ''free world of America''. Whenever I tried to support UK rules about incitement to hate I got a lot of ''thin edge of the wedge'' arguments thrown back in my face. I still don't think ''we can't do that because it might lead to this'' is a valid argument but I never supported a crime of biased reporting law like you seem to be doing.

When the press is no longer the 4th pillar, but an extension of one of the three, it is time to tare it down and rebuild it to be exactly what it was meant to be.

Don't forget, the media is controlled/owned by only a handful of people, it is a monopoly on a scale that should not exist.

Who owns those companies? Now don't forget we also have the same issue with newspapers as well.

We need to break up this bastardization of what we call the media, they all answer to about a dozen or so people, especially the big papers and media entities...

When one paper runs a story, they all run it... it's not because they can't come up with their own story, its because they are all parroting the same thing because of ownership. Instead of doing their own research, or any at all it is easier to repeat than report.

How do you propose to limit monopolies without REGULATION?

Regulations work when they are enforced in this case, the problem is that they don't work because they aren't enforced.
