Gun violence?
« on: August 31, 2019, 01:44:27 AM »
Here's why we know the problem isn't the guns:

The problem is the violence. And it won't get better until politicians wake up and start addressing the real problem instead  of using violence as their excuse to attack the Second Amendment.

California's governor will tell you the real problem is white supremacy:

I wonder how many white supremacists were involved in the Stockton school brawl.

I'm more interested in how many white supremacists are killing people on the streets of Chicago.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Anybody can be a white supremacist now: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/aug/6/candace-owens-black-conservative-run-out-of-philly/
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

Anyone can be white supremacist in the same way anyone can be a woman

I saw a Facebook post a couple days ago accusing Dave Chappelle of being a white supremacist.  The shark has truly been leapt.

"Ban the guns! It's for public safety!"

Okay, then what? Answer:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/french-prosecutor-knife-attack-suspect-134236777.html

They'll use knives.

Interesting. The assailant was psychotic, was on drugs, and he claims he heard voices. Naturally, the usual suspects are loudly proclaiming that this had nothing to do with terrorism, despite the man's being from Afghanistan. That said, they haven't told us what the voices in his head were telling him. Terrorist or not, if the voices were speaking Afghan and telling him to kill Christians, it could still support a call to restrict limitless immigration from Muslim [bleep]hole countries.

Of course, someone who is not a Muslim could also hear voices and go on a rampage. But ... he wasn't not a Muslim. That argument is a non sequitur.

When accused of white supremacy, I just announce that I identify as a sharpei.
