Mass shooting in South Carolina

[Dave_L]

I don't know, you really think this will cause another panic? I don't think it will, sandy hook set the new standard and the bar was set high for these crazies.

Maybe not for AR's and such but if the reports of him being given the gun as a present are true, that gives fuel for more gun control. That usually sparks some kind of panic, especially as we approach election year.

Good point, kinda like the new law we have that requires a background check every time. Sounds like this may have been a gift from an uncle, I can see that coming back up nationally again now for sure.

Based on what little we know about the shooter, he would have passed a background check.

It's good that he was caught alive. Now maybe, like Holmes, they can prove that he is Full Tilt Bozo and not typical of gun owners. I hope they find that other people knew he should not have access to a gun but did nothing.

Maybe we should not let anybody under age 30 named Dylan own a gun. I don't think his parents liked him very much from day one, naming your kid Storm Roof, really.

The Race issue is blowing up. The current admin is getting what they want.

If he thought that black men raping white WOMEN was a problem, wait until he gets to prison.

It said he was out on bond for drugs and trespassing? I don't know when those incidences took place in relation to when he obtained the gun.

Is it premature to assume we'll never get a clear answer on if he was a prohibited person or not?

There are several levels of criminal trespassing. Usually it's a misdemeanor and doesn't result in wearing orange.

I'm more worried about how this case is going to affect race relations than gun rights.

Also this jackass will also be used to paint anyone to the right of Noam Chomsky as a "Tea Party Racist".

The point our side needs to make is that churches in South Carolina are gun free zones by law.

He would certainly appear to be a racist...
