As a young person in the early/mid 80's, it seemed like a lot of people to me. It wasn't two table and five people showed up. But, I have no idea how the number of shows and attendees compares. I would guess the numbers of both are larger now.
Mass shooting at mosque in New Zealand (Please no videos)
- Thread starter Crimson1967
- Start date
I've noticed an eerie silence among the people I know, acquaintances in the Trump/alt right vortex.
Although, it seems Breibart is now trying to smear the NZ shooter as a Chicom leftist, despite his manifesto that praised Trump and other alt-right mouthpieces.
The depravity of the alt-right knows no depths.

Because he is black. THAT'S your argument?!!! Yes, that is, indeed, very sad. It also affirms the claim that this nation is still so backward and racist that an appalling number of people voted for a person they perceive to be supportive of white nationalist thinking.
When discussing the gun control issue with someone, the moment I start hearing "banning and confiscating guns" or "I should be able to carry a lit flame thrower and hand grenades". I start thinking about what I'm going to eat for supper or have I forgotten to pick up a kid from daycare, baseball or violin practice. Regardless of one's general political affiliation, if you're not in the camp of one of the above extremes. "We" all should be ensuring that whatever attempts are entertained as solutions. The extreme ideas never begin to be considered legitimate solutions. I'm open to conversations for most things in the in between. But the closer someone steps toward the extremes of either side. I'm really not interested in having a conversation about it.

This was what I was trying to say for the most part in my first post in the thread. Let's keep everything on the table for discussion and not let a single subject - such as gun control - remove all the oxygen in the room.
And I'll save 92 the trouble and say "I must be new here!"

New Zealand bans military-style rifles, prime minister says days after mosque attacks that left 50 dead
i guess oz didn't get the memo that they can't talk about gun control in response to these events

Beat me to it. Stopping to take medicine has cost me a joke. I will never make that mistake again!
it's also easy to do this when you don't have the nra.
there is a lot that we could do that doesn't infringe on people's 2a rights, but we cant discuss those without being accused of trying to confiscate everyone's guns.
I think it's pretty clear that we'd be better off today if fully automatic rifles had never been regulated.
i have been assured that the invisible hand of the free market doesn't have an itchy trigger finger
Understood, but the point remains - the POTUS cannot just decide to ban something and have congress fall in line. Things have to move slower here, specifically regarding enumerated rights.
And I'd suggest that's a good thing - knee-jerk reactions like this are rarely the right move (generally speaking).
