Without closing private sale loophole none of this means anything. I was at the US-127 Yard Sale yesterday. A 690 mile long yard sale that stretches from Michigan to Alabama. It took me all of 5 minutes to find a guy selling no less than a dozen AR's many with long range glass attached selling for an easy $675 without glass. 

All without a background check.

So lets talk about "red flags" and mental illness, and criminal backgrounds. I'll go buy a dozen tomorrow. 

Then...

Then I'll go online and buy my AR and AK build kits and with a $20 jig on ebay I as an amateur gunsmith make ghosted ARs that NO ONE KNOWS about. No serial numbers, no registration...complete ghosts.

So yeah, go ahead and ****ing waste our goddamn time, efforts, and momentum passing laws that won't work.

What's his argument?  That because a lot of people in this big country die of accidents and disease that we shouldn't do anything to stop terrorism and mass murder?  He's a numb nuts.

Don't freak out about mass murders because they are incredibly rare. That's his point. Don't get worked up about 40 people being gunned down at random because more than that die of cancer.

Funny, where was Neil with his logical perspective when 3000 people died on 9/11

Go ahead and swap GOP & Faux News for "media".

****ing self fulfilling prophecy!

NRA: World is dangerous, we need gunz!

MASS SHOOTING

People: World is dangerous, we need gunz!

Massive unrestricted gun sales

MASS SHOOTINGS WITH LEGAL GUNS

People: See, told you we needed our gunz.

I just read through an internet thread that claimed the El Paso shooting was a "false flag" due to the reports of multiple shooters and people changing clothes.

Like clockwork. They barely wait til the blood clots before they start claiming false flag.

Thank god we have such amazing Presidential leadership in response to this national crisis.

I don't think this is so.  There is a very strong correlation between domestic violence and gun violence.  Sure, some of these people would slip through the cracks, but even if additional background checks didn't drastically lower mass shootings, it'd certainly lower domestic violence homicides.

But background checks won't do enough, and the problem of younger radicalized people without records seems to be growing.  Background checks have to be part of a wider series of reforms.

Do you REALLY think that domestic violence cases are going to be used to deny white men gun ownership?

Every country has violent video games.  We are the only place that kills each other so grotesquely.  The GOP is really depraved.  Disgusting.  They'd rather accept this bloodshed than suggest that we should do something about guns. 

I mean Japan must be over-run with gun violence!

"One man's death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic"

 

It's not how many die, its who dies, really, and who's doing the shooting.  As long as most of the shootings are being done by people they defend against people they demonize, don't expect much.

If a Leftist documented his journey from buying an AR from a yard sale, posting his motivations about proving how stupid the Right's arguments are about gun control, and gun laws, and mental illness then went and shot up a white Evangelical church in Indiana THEN it would be about the Left.

The shooters are also young with no criminal records which makes it harder to find them.

 

This is why background checks is a bull**** half assed effort that will solve NOTHING.

what’s the over/under on the ammount of mass shooting deaths we need to average per day to get enough republicans on board with an assault weapons ban? 

Holy ****, I don't even know how many people would need to die daily by assault weapons before they'd consider a ban. Hell, people die EVERY FREAKING DAY. In 2017 13,000 were shot and killed, this does NOT count suicides. Most of these are by handguns, so 35 people per day wasn't enough to start talking about handguns.

Personally, I think when McConnell, Gaetz, or Trump say or tweet the words "thoughts and prayers" I think they are really saying, "**** you! We're ain't going to do **** and there's nothing you can do about it." to the survivors and grievers.

No no, "it's too soon to talk about the politics of this tragedy. Shame on you for seeking to leverage this totally predictable and tacitly accepted event to advance your agenda."

That's the new "thoughts & prayers".

It's like, dude were in a ****ing war and whenever someone asks how do we stop the war they get outraged saying, "How dare you?! Someone just died! Have you no shame?!" 

Dude it's a ****ing war, it's time to see the forest for the trees!

Yes, I'm aware they are loud.  Thanks.  But when have you ever seen a shooter wear PPE like that before?  I just find it interesting. 

Most figure they will die, he was obviously not planning on dying.

Police should have disappointed him.

2. Yes (even if he recants it today under US Soccer pressure).

3. No.

Sadly, this is how I feel too. He hasn't recanted has he? I hadn't heard it if he has.

Well, isn't that a nice way to attack an opponent you're afraid of? Feeding if not generating a rumor that she isn't really a Democrat and thus can't be trusted.

Ok ya'll. Just because every once and awhile I feel the need to re-evaluate things and how I see soccer. It's been over two years now since Trinidad & Tobago.

IMO, Taylor Twellman's rant needs to be revisited on occasion. 

So, please watch both of these videos...and then answer the questions......

QUESTIONS:

1) Was Taylor right then?

2) Is he still right today?

3) have we made ANY of the changes needed to elevate US men's soccer?

Finally,

4) If no, then do you think those changes are coming?
