An argument could be made that inciting violence does not fall under the classification of protected free speech, just as laws restricting gun ownership have been tested and found to not violate the 2nd amendment. 

 

It floors me that in nearly every single case where this happens it seems that the laws are neither applied nor enforced. 

 

This guy should have NOT been holding or owning or carrying a gun under existing laws - so where is the accountability for failure to enforce? 

 

Why not? How would you go about curtailing his 2nd amendment rights? That's the issue. How do you prevent guns to be in the hands of the wrong people? In fact, how do you define who the wrong people are?

Funny how some people on here are writing a list of threats against Trump. Where were they for the previous eight years? I'm sure there would a far more exhaustive list of threats made against Obama.

 

2nd amendment remedies anyone?

Nothing will happen. We've seen it all. We've seen this type of terrorism in an elementary school, movie theater, mall, night club, and almost anywhere you would not expect someone to bring a gun, in a civilized society, and yet there has not been one incident that has galvanized the country around the idea that there is something wrong.

If shooting up an elementary school won't bring meaningful gun legislation then nothing will.

 

The GOP have made it worse by allowing people with a mental illness to buy a gun.

Nationwide laws, not state to state. Mental health checks for all gun owners, both new and old. I would like to see a semi-auto ban, but that will never happen.

I agree with this and I would prefer a Nationwide Concealed Carry would be great as well.

I'm assuming you don't mean you agree the semi-auto part? I would have no problem with a nationwide concealed carry.

What difference does it make who he supports politically? There are just as many conservative nuts that have gone on shooting and killing sprees than there are liberal nuts who have done the same. The common denominator is that they are all mentally unstable to carry out these acts. This man also made death threats against Hillary, he would have snapped no matter who he aligned with politically. Why not focus on the root of the problem rather than making this about political affiliation?

It goes to motive especially when it looks like the act is an act of political terrorism.

The shooting was in a gun free zone as far as I know, so you're not going to find those concealed carry permit folks you were looking for before  I do find it interesting how about 90% of the mass shootings in recent years seem to happen in gun free zones though.

 

He was absolutely not a Trump supporter, he couldn't stand the guy. Everything they are finding about him in the last 24 hours seems to point to someone with a vendetta against republicans who decided to act on it.

He wasn't just a Bernie supporter, he was also a Trump supporter and made death threats against Hillary Clinton.

 

Only one faction can claim this man's loyalty and that's the mentally unstable association of Merika. It's a damn shame that mentally unstable people have easy access to guns.

So are you saying Teddy is on crack?

Motive for someone who is mentally unstable? Nah, the only reason to play the political game on this one is to avoid the real issue, crazies with guns.

And the truth is that Trump has a lot of enemies from way back, before the elections. He double crossed many people in his previous life.

Sorry I did not see that part, and no I am very much AGAINST a semi-auto ban. That would mean I would have to give up my AK and not buy the .308 I have been looking at. My mind is on other things at moment and I apologize, my crypto currencies are taking a beating this morning.

Well, they didn't have a choice. After all, Obama was coming in person to confiscate everyone's guns, once he managed to get elected president for life. Those were moments when we had to defend our freedoms at any cost. The country was on the brink of becoming a communistic socialistic covfefelian anarchy. We had no choice but to arm everyone.

This is why I stopped listening/watching Infowars, because I actually started believing that #######.
