    Woah, this is a new angle.




    CNN and the leftest media are only ones brainwashing these guys into thinking Trump is a racist who hates blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Women.


    Trump himself has stated many times that he's no racist, and racist groups don't represent him/
    SO yes, this 24/7 drumming in of ''trump hates Hispanics, Trump hates Blacks'' is dangerous, as it only take one mentally ill person to pick up a gun to do '' Trumps work''

    He's also stated he knows science well and later said wind energy gives you cancer. So I'd recommend not being so gullible to take someone at their word for something.

    Trump was sued by the Nixon administration for refusing to rent houses to African Americans. That's more telling than anything he says.

    So you're saying "Trump's Work" is actually terrorism against ethnic minorities?

    Jaysus, not even I said that.

    And CNN is inciting it?

    Woah, you could knock me down with a feather.

    This makes QAnon seem plausible by comparison.

    LOL. Well if Trump says he's no racist then he couldn't possibly be racist.

    In all seriousness, I don't have a clue of he's racist or not. But it's clear that he's using racist sentiment to stir up his Base. I see it as a cynical device rather than a deeply held personal belief. But he is certainly using racial divides to his advantage.

    If you don't see any of the ways he has done that then I don't know what to tell you. But yes, I'm sure it's actually CNN causing all the trouble by attributing things Trump said, to Trump.

    Just when in this mad age we live in when it was getting increasingly hard to be nuts.

    So you're saying that

    a: Trump isn't anti immigrant and hasn't moved the discourse on immigration

    b: a fan of Trump would watch CNN and believe them that Trump is a racist

    c: this fan would love Trump so much but for some reason ignore him and believe cnn's version and then go out and shoot people for Trump

    WOW! Really, I've read some insane **** on boards but this wins.

    This is actually one of the comparatively less crazy opinions you'll get from a Trump supporter, though it's obviously still completely bat****.

    Its not Texas its Florida which is a different state.
    There is also a 3 day waiting period to do a background check/cooling off period.

    A lot of people live in opposite world. How does it feel after quitting fact based thinking? Does it make you feel more powerful when you claim a toaster is in fact a kettle?

    Only applies if you actually buy from actual retailer's

    Private sales no or the gun show loophole

    "With discussions about gun control, the show is obviously drawing some controversy, Especially when it comes to the so called “gun show loophole.”

    The loophole allows people to buy a gun without getting a background check, however, it’s not necessarily a gun show issue.

    Of the hundreds of vendors at the fairgrounds for the event, more than 95 percent of them are required by law to run background checks as licensed dealers.

    But, private citizens who come to the show can also sell their weapons. And like any sale of a private firearm in the state of Florida, no background check is required."

    Hmmm I have my suspicions about a few of the mass shooting. Some of them just seem to be too perfect. The school child with learning disabilities (got 1300 together to kit out an AR15?) and the accountant with 60, M-16 in Vegas?

    Getting back to this. Are you still suspicions about these shootings? Can you give other examples or is it just these two? Also we still don't know what you mean by "suspicions"

    You still have to show a license. To get that license you have to have no criminal record. The seller still has to check the licence. I think a licence holder at least the ones I know are very protective and observant of the law. You know who is not observant of the law? illegal fire arms holders, you know the ones who carry out most of the shootings? But we dont want to discuss them? You want to take guns from legitimate citizens with no criminal records.

    We can do that after you start picking through the differences between HFA and Schizophrenia, that is suspicious in my mind.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,542 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Problem is that these shootings are what push the discussion but the specific of them don't apply to millions of guns sold or the 15K homicides a year.

    These people likely won't show up on any background check.

    I've no formal training on diagnosing people with mental health issues.
    I will have to go with what professionals have previously diagnosed him with.
    Nothing he was diagnosed with would have prevented him from legally obtaining guns.

    As far as Paddock and M-16's, he had no full auto rifles. It is possible for the general public to buy older full auto guns(sold before 1986) but they are very difficult to obtain. Why do you think he has that model of gun and why are there no reports on it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,019 ✭✭✭✭martingriff


    I was looking at donald Trumps twitter page and going through the responses and 1 that caught my eye was 1 that said you can have this anywhere even Ireland/UK so I responded can you tell me of a mass shooting in Ireland this year.

    Another came back and said they did not say this year but do you remember 1998 and listed off the killed and injured. I went 1998 is the last one can you see what has happened in Ireland since then. I also mention the safety health checks that Trump would like are the same Obama had until Trump got rid. I said was 1998 all he had

    Last post from the poster was and I will type out was "No 1998 isn't. Who does Ireland belong to? How many dies for things to be the same. Do you think 100's of years for independance wars are over and will never happen again? Sure made easier when your disarmed

    Went straight for the incvasion line so I said come have a go and nearly 100 years and no one has tried yet. Asked what type of gun he had for thee army that would invade the US he would stop

    Have you ever had mental health issue? One in three of us will in out lifetime. One in four of those that see help will be on medication. Would you be comfortable with that being shared with anyone other than your doctor/medical professional?
    Well you can research it, He was diagnosed in time before when there is an overlap between Autism emerges and when Schizophrenia starts to become a visible problem. Then why is he talking about voices in his head, this is not an autistic trait? Surely a psychologist would have picked up on this?

    If you want to deal with Paddock, why had he 22 rifles and an AK(it could be C47 variant)? That doesnt make any sense. Surely he would have bought drum magazines? Why 22 rifles?

    Who is convincing anyone who will listen that Trump is a racist an a supporter of white supremacy?
    Trump??? No!
    The leftest media are. No one else but them are trying and succeeding in convincing people that he is, and these far right groups have claimed him as one of them because of it, even though he has come out and said all these hate groups have no place in America.
    But CNN still push it and push it on people, and then one of these guys who believes it thinks he's doing Trumps work in shooting up some Hispanics

    Trump is only asking all immigrants to come legally and pay taxes like proper civilised Americans. Big Industry only wants cheap labour.

    You're wasting your time mate, these people have no interest in the truth. They obsess over out of context quotes and given that the MSM repeats them on a loop over and over, building a racist narrative around them, they become indisputable facts to them.

    Look at this piece of garrabe lying about Trump, repeating the two year lie that he called Neo-Nazis 'fine people':




    They sow racial division 24-7 as without it they have nothing. The democrats thrive on the false notion that the opponents all white supremacists and that they have the monopoly on compassion and empathy. They don't though, they just have the monopoly on sanctimony and hypocrisy.

    MSNMC even had some moron on saying Trump s flying the flags at half mast until Aug 8th because 8 is an important number to white nationalists. Now can you imagine if Fox News said something similar about Obama flying flags at half mast. MSM in America was hijacked by the loony left a long time ago.

    Here's a clip that shows just what Trump has had to deal with these liars since his inauguration with regards to his so called refusal to condemn white supremacists:

    He was a gun enthusiast he had loads of guns and high capacity magazines in the hotel room. He owned the rifles so why not have them there? Clearly he loved guns so why no have your collection with you before you die.

    People can see for themselves what Trump said. There are videos, you know?


    Trump blames the media for everything and you're guzzling it down.


    There's a reason why people like David Duke and the MAGA bomber support Trump and it's not because of tax cuts.

    hmmmm It would be more sensible to have a smaller amount of rifles and more drum magazines. The numbers are very high with close on 60 dead and 600 casualties for one shooter? Even with full auto? Its not ringing right for me and I used to shoot.

    Dayton, Ohio shooter 9 dead in about 1 minute
    Las Vegas shooter 59 deaths in about 15 minutes

    Both used 100 round drum magazines but the Las Vegas shooter used a bump stock and had the optimal vantage point.

    Do you think there were more than one shooter in Dayton?

    So you dont know what I am talking about? DSM-V, DISCO, ICD-10? these are not familiar to you. HFA/Aspergers/PDD/ADHD/ASD/ADD/ Willi Prader? you cant distinguish between them? No kid with any of the above would be talking about hearing voices. That is suspicious to me.
