(1,942 posts)...where killing seems to be the solution for everything. Revenge and hate seem to be accepted values these days.
If revenge and hate are current, accepted values and everyone has access to buying assault weapons, anyone who feels somehow threatened (probably by their own tendencies and feelings) can feel it's OK to kill people.
Someone, somewhere in the establishment has to start promoting peaceful values, and underlining the horror and uselessness of killing be it via drones, AR-15s, handguns, or any other method....

(12,448 posts)He's advocating torture and "taking out" the families of suspected terrorists. Not to mention his misogyny and racism. And the so-called "moderate" Republicans will meekly put it on the platform; after all, he's only saying out loud what they think.

Trouble with that is there was a cop or security guard there
and the gunmen was legally armed, I read he had a CC permit
So he in the eyes of the law was a GGG.
Trump is vacuous.

(23,102 posts)All he's talking about is radical Islamism, not about hatred of gays. The FBI knew about this guy, had interviewed him numerous times, yet he's still able to get guns with no problems? Other than the heinous loss of life and health, that's the next worst part. Of course he doesn't mention that and everything he did mention was total trash. Beefing up the already grotesquely bloated military won't help this a bit, keeping out Muslim immigrants won't help, the killer is an American. Sad how stupid some of the American public are that they would even consider voting for this dangerous asswipe.
