The Democrats are screaming for McConnell to bring the "universal background check" bill to a vote.

Can someone explain how mandatory firearms registration and a mandatory background check to obtain a firearm would have prevented the mass shooting yesterday?

To me, the left completely lacks any respect for the victims and more importantly, any empathy for the surviving family members who have lost a loved one.  Instead, the dead and wounded are exploited to the fullest potential and cynically used as a prop to promote the all-important public policy obsession they have with civilian disarmament.

Civilian disarmament at all costs.

These politicians are mentally ill and virtually amoral IMHO, and giving power to these sick fucks is going to be very bad for those not on board with their Utopian vision for the future.

Ammo construction being what it is these days, I don't know that you'd have to change duty weapons. You'd simply change carry ammo.

A .41 Magnum revolver as a duty weapon would be a pretty sweet deal if you actually had to use it.

I can't imagine there is anything for Texas LEO to expose.

They made a traffic stop on someone "known to police". Known probably because he's been an asshole his whole life. All kinds of work available in that area, but that guy ain't interested. Can't get or keep a job because of drugs and alcohol, anyway.

Glancing at the stats, it seems like most "mass shootings" are violent engagements between gangs. The spree killings most people think about when they hear the term seem to be in the minority, especially the ones with high casualty counts.

Yeah, I hadn’t factored in the holiday weekend. Increased enforcement, especially with highway patrol units. That seems more probable.

Besides, how often do state troopers actually partake in surveillance/investigation type cases? Aren’t they primarily highway patrol. The TX Rangers would do those type of operations. Unless they brought in a patrol unit to make the stop. But then there would be other unmarked units involved probably.
View Quote
Actually quite frequently they are involved surveillance/investigation. There is an entire intel unit. They frequently help out in high crime areas and operations. There is a significant DPS presence in Dallas that consists of marked patrol units, air assets (fixed wing doing surveillance/intel in at least one of the high crime areas right next to where I work and rotary working several areas), and other capabilities as well.

We need more true PATRIOTS like him in political office. He is a true AMERICAN.

I have no idea why any true AMERICAN would vote for a POLITICAL PARTY that does not believe in or support the CONSTITUTION and the BILL OF RIGHTS.

That have actually said that they want to do away with the CONSTITUTION and the BILL OF RIGHTS and rewrite it because AMERICANS have too much freedom and it's outdated.

My heart goes out to the families of those in Texas. But anyone with common sense. Would know that these absurd GUN CONTROL LAWS.

Being pushed by the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS would not stop any of these maniacs from killing INNOCIENT AMERICANS.

It would only leave INNOCIENT AMERICANS vulnerable to these killers. More people would be killed. This is proven already by the states controlled by DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS.

But the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS don't really care about the safety of AMERICANS. That's just the ploy they are using.

Because the safety of AMERICANS in DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS controlled states. Like California, Chicago, Illinois and other states sure is not working out to well for them...is it.

Well it is if your one of the ELITISTS.

They want AMERICANS disarmed because they FEAR an ARMED AMERICA and they have an ADGENDA.

But first they must DISARM AMERICA and render AMERICANS defenseless and hapless, totally dependant on the GOVERNMENT. In other words SLAVES of the GOVERNMENT.

But first the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST EXTREMISTS must get rid of any and all means to fight back.

It would help to maybe understand the nuances of Texas politics.  The legislative session just ended and will not reconvene until 2021.  Meanwhile the legislators will be home, living and working with their constituents.  It was set up that way on purpose.

Governor Abbott can say lots of things that may be “timely” or even “politically expedient for an entire year.  Because no laws will be written, changed or otherwise until 2021.  Lots of time for the political winds to change and priorities to shift.

I'll make you a deal, homie. Chicago had a gun related death total of 530 in 2018. In one year, in one city, 530 human beings lost their lives to guns. That's a 9-1 ratio of "white people" involved "mass shootings" in 2018. Wanna know what the demographics were for the suspects in those 530 deaths in Chicago in 2018? Nah, you don't wanna know. It's inconvenient. Oh, did I mention those 530 human beings that were killed by guns in ONE year died in a city with some of the strictest gun laws on the books? Nah, you don't wanna hear that either. It's inconvenient. So what's my deal then? If and your friends over on DU and in the DNC can manage to drop the body count in Chicago, for one year, lower than "white male mass shooters", then I'll destroy my guns and champion your cause for banning firearms. Can you do that? Nah, you can't. It's too inconvenient. @Normandy1944

So who are the shooters in that picture? What is their criteria for "mass shooter"? Identify them and the source it came from. You have to do better than to spread some internet meme and present it as fact.

ETA This is creating a false narrative. The cases we're talking about with one guy going apeshit and randomly executing people ARE young-ish white males aged 20-30 for the most part.

Since the facts don't fit your racist narrative you're ignoring them.  Got it.

What has he said that's wrong? Is there not an opioid epidemic? Are the mass shooters that end up on these rampages not typically 20-30 year old white makes?

Just look at this thread: We've had people blaming one or any of the following: Antifa, atheists, public education, illegal immigrants, etc. It's a ref;exive blame-game in the desperate hope that the bad guy is one of "them" - them being someone from a group we don't like. Add in a few conspiracy nuts that are claiming the FBI, police, and everyone else is working overtime to cover it all up, and you get your typical Arfcom GD derp thread.

CNN:
Trump: "We have quite the package coming on guns from Congress."
"Congress has a lot of thinking to do about guns."
(Paraphrased)

And Beto dropping the F-bomb, claiming he'll impose an AWB and a mandatory buyback program. Followed by lots of uninformed ballistics talk.

Gotcha. I haven't been following very closely, but was confused as the pic you quoted is a gold Toyota Camry.

Hell, they may have said Toyota Camry. It wasn't an important enough factoid that I paid that close attention.

4 or more people. That's a pretty low threshold. Another reason it doesn't hold water is because most of them - as far as I can tell - had some kind of motive that "makes sense". Robbery. Domestic violence. Drug deal gone wrong. I'm not excusing the level of violence, but we're talking about mass shooters in terms of a guy with no relation to the victims just blowing his top and going out in a blaze of glory. The other people on that list don't fit the bill. Call it a societal problem to ignore the others, but we tend to over-dramatize things we don't understand, like a guy driving from Dallas to El Paso and shooting a bunch of people in Wal Mart. That is inherently more scary than a gang-related shooting where 4 people are killed.

That's literally the definition of "mass shooter", brother. I don't know what else to tell you. You seem determined to believe that whites are the problem, so... you do you.
