“I think you’re right”, Pratt responded, “and certainly he doesn’t react the way a lot of people were reacting, I think”. As usual, Obama and his minions and sycophants blamed the gun used by the mass-murderer instead of the contributing factors.
This is not an accident.
Identifying those with mental imbalances and keeping them away from guns?
One thing is true about the perpetrators of all of these shootings.

“He sounded really deranged because he said he’d been waiting to do that [kill people] for a really long time”, Boylan told ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview aired on Monday.

He challenged the media to come up with accurate data on how many Americans are killed by terror compared to gun violence. Everyone who has committed both of these claims is quickly deemed insane, but they’re always certified insane too late.
A former law enforcement officer from New York agrees with Snyder’s assessment: “These civilian politicians know nothing about criminology, firearms, tactics or crime prevention”.
Investigators have previously stated that they seized 14 guns that were either with him or recovered from his home.
The best way to keep the status quo is by making sure debates about it never get off the ground.
