Would Oracle have started this thread if it was the usual right wing wacko who shot up the school? No, methinks not.... that's about as likely as Trump calling in the national guard to deal with the secret armies of white supremicists who plot their cleansing, or to deal with the higher crime rates in Republican shithole states.
I've always thought the influence of politics on shooters was exaggerated. I heard this Minnesota shooter was virulently antisemitic.

What does that have to do with anything else he was saying? Nothing at all. Like so many young men who take up this type of violence, they are not right in the head. There is no sane political manifesto.

Most weapons used in mass shootings are all legally acquired.
Depends on who defines "mass shooting", what they choose to include or not to suit their narrative. There was a time when inner city youths, doing drive bys near a school yard, counted towards "school shootings", but I guess it was deemed "too racist". :rolleyes:

Feel free to call it whatever you want, the issue with guns remains the same.

In this case the shooter was a white man who has changed
his first name for gender change. The only pattern I can see
is 9 out of 10 shooters are white.

If firepower is a sacred part of the constitution, America should make rocket launchers and flame throwers available to everyone.

I agree the issue remains the same; liberals and democrats capitalizing on tragedies to attack a group of people they dislike; glorifying these indivuals, over a long news cycle, to serve as the model for the next shooter; while also ignoring the actual majority of illegal gun crime, because they've deemed it "too racist" to enforce.

Not true.
They don't ignore it.
These crimes are often concentrated in minority areas (chiefly black) and these areas are often over policed.
I think you could safely conclude that law enforcement predominantly focuses on illegal gun/drug trafficking/gang related crimes.

What I heard today is that he (or she) was virulently anti-everybody...Jews, Blacks, Catholics, and children in general. Really not a true hate crime, more a crime due to insanity...

Yeah lets not police areas that have high crime rates...You've outdone yourself with that one.
