That didn’t take long...

Two days after the democrat debates, which everyone agrees was a total shitshow, there’s a mass shooting in Texas, which not only gives assholes like Spartacus and Beta Oroark an opportunity to go on tv talking gun control (even though the details are still coming in), it will divert attention from the circus that is the Democratic Party.

Kinda makes you wonder...

It really doesn’t matter what kind of weapon was used, this is going to make a lot of hay for the dems. All kinds of distractions from the real problems at hand.

Perhaps it finally will get said, mental health is where the changes are needed! Control of items does not work! Be it guns, knives, hammers, cars, drugs, alcohol, or whatever. Did the root cause and a lot of issues will go away. Oh, that's right, the ones screaming for gun control are the very same ones that just the inmates out.

Obviously, a very organized effort. Well... hopefully, it's Texas, and they're going to go for Capital Murder. There's already talk of it.

If democrats spent half as much team into looking into the driving force behind mass shooters as they do into trying to ban guns (Which is completely pointless, there are 393 MILLION guns in the united states, not counting "ghost guns"/home builds) we may get somewhere with trying to curb mass shootings. Saying your going to ban guns in the United States is like saying your going to ban sunshine in Florida or sand in the desert. From my recollection and some quick googling, almost every single mass shooter has been male. Median age is 21 to 35 years. Most are social recluses/outcast. Most gave numerous warning signs that often went ignored. So you have a collective group of impressionable young men who are bombarded by violence in the media (desensitization) , can self-train to be killers playing first person shooter video games and watching youtube videos on weapon operation & tactics; The shooter even makes reference to Call of Duty in his manifesto), and can order pretty much everything but the gun online (and even that statements not entirely true) and have it dropped right at their door step avoiding possible alert to someone, somewhere that something is amiss.

And probably the most glaring detail in most of these cases is that almost all of these mass shooters were mentally ill in some way, shape, or form.

As far as this particular shooter goes, His manifesto (IF it is in fact his...I still have my doubts on that one) mentions being angry about illegal immigration, what he says as an "invasion" of his country, etc. However on his shooting rampage he shot people indiscriminately from all reports not caring about race, creed, color...That doesn't make alot of sense...Until you read further into it. You can tell he is angry with Big Corporation (And lets face it, Walmart is probably one of the biggest which would only make sense in his mind to make that his choice...Soft target with minimal to no security, and plenty of potential victims). The manifesto eventually evolves into a web of his contempt, essentially, for everyone (Americans being wasteful with resources, polluting the enviroment, etc). That may shed light on why he did not shoot those seemingly of just hispanic decent (according to early reports anyway).

I am curious to see what they find in his home (reading materials, internet search history, etc). That is probably going to lead to a lot more answers as to this particular shooters mindset. Clearly, he is marketing this event as a catalyst of more to come...A "call to action" type event.
