    Ill take wild guess- not a white shooter, not a rifle.

    Only statistically anomolous shootings get MSM coverage to twist the perception of commonality.

    There doesn't seem to be much more information about this at the moment outside of what has been published.

    There is no narrative to be pushed forward with this story. Based on just the information provided it's likely that the shooting was done by a handgun and well...conducted by black folks against other black folks.

    It's one of those things to where (toss the emotions out and look at the raw facts) if we made it breaking news every time black people shoot other black people with hand guns then we wouldn't have time to cover anything else all day so.....yeah. Of course its tragic whenever such things like this happen, but to be honest this isn't exactly uncommon. It would be like CNN breaking news every time there was a 3 car pile up somewhere, that's not breaking news that's basically 3rd page news because it happens all the time even if it is pretty terrible.

    I can't help with your choice of interpretations.

    I was simply stating an obvious fact.

    And if the citizens themselves agree to comply with whatever law and whether tasked with enforcing it are willing to do so. That's another big problem with gun regulations in the US. This nation is so divided along ideological lines that not only do we rarely compromise on things we also have plenty of law enforcement officers who refuse to enforce some things.

    Just take a look at Colorado counties in regards to the Red Flag type law they have had on the books for a little while now. Over half of the counties in Colorado either have Sheriffs, commissioners, citizens or all of the above who just flat out refuse to comply with that and have deemed their counties sanctuary counties.

    There is no way in hell we would ever get a ban on firearms, at least not an effective one. The US is not Australia, or the UK, we have a vastly different ideology here when it comes to firearms and the right to own them.

    That’s definitely another huge issue. It might be the hardest issue to resolve in the US. I guess just leave it up to individual states but you would need very strict enforcement across each border. And as you accurately pointed out, law enforcement will not be applied equally in every corner of the state.

    I do think we can get ban on bump stocks, large capacity magazines, binary triggers and other tactical modifications.

    This post deserves to be reproduced in the vain hope that it somehow finds a way into the conspiracy addled brains of the majority of people posting here. I notice that the only response to it was an entirely predictable evasion by the OP.

    Despite the lack of deaths at time of initial reporting this story has still been widely reported, yet even that isn't enough to stop people flailing at their strawman.

    If people want to know what is wrong with America start with a thread like this - an excursion into hardened prejudices, closed minds & confected outrage based on fake criteria & false equivalence. What ails America looks back at most people here in the mirror every morning, yet somehow it is always everyone else's fault.

    How did Cummings put guns in the hands of Party shooters. BTW gerrymandering lives in both parties. The SCOTUS is not going to stop it at he fed level either.

    So you're saying it's not about the use of a gun in the killings but who and why the killings took place?

    It is because it is normal in the US that people massacre each other.
    The law givers refuse to do something about it, while there is an overwhelmingly support for far more gun control.
    The democracy in the US is a joke. Lobby group / capitalism is far more important than the voices of the majority.

    I concur. I'm thinking that baby daddy is upset that baby momma has a new thug in her life. Quite possibly from a rival gang and baby daddy is feeling punked so the only way for him to show his manhood, other than paying child support and spending quality time with his two year old is to shoot the place up.

    On the other hand I'm very interested in why the police chiefs comment at the end of his speech was the suspect and illegal guns. I think investigators have previous knowledge of the suspect. JMO

    Yet, you took the time to post a non-response.

    Funny.

    Anyone calling for gun control is a racist. They only speak out when whites are involved. From now on, I will consider all anti gun people racists.

    Because I typed something out, understand it’s futile to try and reason with your position and edited it.

    I am saying that all mass shootings are bad, but motive can play a role in how much media attention it gets.... yes

    is that why fox is not reporting any more on this in your opinion?

    I believe we will hear more when they have the suspect in custody or the people effected speak to the media

    oh excuse me on a sunday night. The poll is not BS, just because you say so. It is rather consistent with other polls. You're just desperate and responding with some silly tantrum.
