[b]If the attacker is a Muslim = Condemn Islam and use the attack as proof that we need a Muslim majority country ban (doesn't matter if it's a homegrown Muslim)
If the attacker is Black = Condemn "Black culture" and talk about the need for more police, more prisons and harsher sentences on these "thugs"
In the attacker is Mexican = Condemn immigrants and talk about how we desperately need Trump's wall and tougher immigration laws
If the attacker is White = "Thoughts and prayers" + "He must have been crazy; nothing could have stopped this."
Now please stop derailing my thread, thanks in advance. [/B]

Oh Rob, it'll fly if I decide it will fly.My point is that we don't see this reaction to Islamic terror. I want consistency in your whining about thoughts and prayers.
I asked for proof; you've not given it; so you're inventing strawmen and then bashing those. Stop derailing my thread now, or leave. I don't care.

It's 100% possible I did.

So now it's changed from "no" to "the mentally ill can't"?
But, the Las Vegas dude had CAMERAS and shit set up. He did all that, had all this shit. But he can't do this? Bullshit. I want you to type it out. Type out the Vegas shooter couldn't have. Because YOU brought up Vegas. Your narrative is falling apart, I suggest saving it quickly.

But again, this is just retarded. It's not a KO to anyone with common sense.Hypocrisy is all around. When it's a Muslim the right blames Islam, leftists whine and complain. When it's a white guy leftists blame white people. It's okay then, because reasons.

Er, what point is there to answer? This bullshit happens on both sides.
Thoughts and prayers are dumb, I want that spewed 100% of the time. Or never. There is no other option. Spew it for whites and Islamic terror or not at all.

And I ask again: could he have made one?
You also told me no that they could not be made. Why did you lie?
Originally posted by SurturYeah but for example, I am neither side, so I want to see arguments beyond just that partisan shit. I want to know your real opinion, not your for-the-enemy opinion, you know? Why is it different with white guy shooters?

Lol, did we enter the Twilight Zone? I never actually said it's different for whites. I merely said I'm sick and tired of seeing leftist whine about thoughts and prayers for whites, but keep their mouths shut when it's being said for Islamic terror.

The point you've dodged now several times is that when it's a Muslim, Black or Mexican attacker there are solutions to "fix" the problem (ie ban, more cops/prisons, wall), but it's silence in the solution department when the attacker is White. So, why is this?
Originally posted by SurturYeah but again, idgaf what they're saying right now. I mostly cross in liberal circles so I want to know what a conservative thinks of this

Originally posted by RobtardBecause it's a good point, generally. You say you're sick of the liberal hypocrisy but I've seen you take the stance Rob posited so I want to know why it's different.

You don't have to answer, but you know I'm a pretty open-minded guy who listens to opinions without resorting to name-calling/retorting for the sake of retorting/deflection, and that you've helped me form an opinion on gun control before, so I want to know a bit more.

But there isn't silence lol. There are just different solutions.
Originally posted by SurturHow do you know he could've made one? We have no evidence that suggests the Vegas shooter is capable of making a bump stock... Just because there's a YouTube video doesn't mean he would've or could've made a functioning bump stock.
And I ask again: could he have made one?
And keeping bump stocks legal makes them wayyyyy more accessible to even ppl who otherwise wouldn't have known they existed

Let me put it another way, some dipshit white guy shoots up a place screaming "God is great!!!!!!" or "Jesus is great!" and nope, there will be no "he is mentally ill" as an excuse.
You've dodged again. Why is there a clear "fix" for others and the problem, but not when it's a White shooter?
