President Obama offered peer review. He is allowed and the American people love him.

If President Obama's plans for gun control was not obstructed by the "Moscow" Mitch US Senate there is a very good chance none of this would be happening. There is no reason to try to blame President Obama for the violence during his presidency, the NRA didn't have him in their back pocket.

I looked for President Obama's speech to the NRA convention and I could not find one. 

The guns used over the past two weekends weren't purchased when Sandy Hook occurred.

President Obama is the only American President of Color. His insight should be taken seriously. Just because he is a peer, doesn't mean the peers are equal in their capacity to governor well.

THE PRESIDENT: (click here) Mark, I want to thank you for your introduction. I still remember the first time we met, the time we spent together, and the conversation we had about Daniel. And that changed me that day. And my hope, earnestly, has been that it would change the country.

Five years ago this week, a sitting member of Congress and 18 others were shot at, at a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona. It wasn’t the first time I had to talk to the nation in response to a mass shooting, nor would it be the last. Fort Hood. Binghamton. Aurora. Oak Creek. Newtown. The Navy Yard. Santa Barbara. Charleston. San Bernardino. Too many.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Too many....

The RNC needs to pay it's bills. El Paso is stretched for resources with another visit from the President tomorrow.

August 6, 2019
By Christopher Wilson

...“Our resources are really strained right now,” (click here) said Alexsandra Annello, a member of the El Paso City Council. “Our police and fire are exhausted, our health department had for three days straight been working with the reunification of families. As you see from the bill, these are the services required for a presidential visit. In addition to financial costs, our community and resources are already strained and do not need this extra burden.”

According to the city, Trump’s campaign owed $470,417.05 for police and public safety services related to the February rally, which was not an official presidential visit. The city sent the Trump campaign a letter in May prior to the deadline notifying it of the past-due invoice and in June added a one-time 21 percent late fee penalty, bringing the total bill to $569,204.63....

International Opinion Pages are wall to wall criticism of the continued hostile tone of the Trump campaign.

This is an article at the BBC expressing concern for their American ally and the danger that lies within their lives.

The laws of the USA are inadequate in addressing Domestic Terrorists. There is probably a deliberate reason for it, due to the concern for zealotry that has existed in the country since 2001. The Patriot Act is still not well received by many Americans.

For the first time the enemy within, Home Grown Domestic Terrorists, are becoming a concern. The attacks by people like Timothy McVeigh were mostly few and far between, but, that has changed within the past year.  Today, Cesar Sayoc was sentenced to 20 years for his threats to the lives of very famous and important people and the news media. It was found he acted because of the influence he found important with the Trump candidacy and his rallies.

It is time in the USA to address the haters, the White Supremacists, White Nationalists and those that will not accept the USA's diversity as valuable and important. We are not alone in worrying about the longevity of these hate organizations, Europe has it's concerns, however, they DO NOT HAVE THE VIOLENCE PROBLEM the USA faces regularly.

US authorities (click here) are investigating the shootings in El Paso that left 22 people dead as a possible case of "domestic terrorism". How big a threat is this kind of terror and how is the US combating it?

Police believe the white suspect, Patrick Crusius, drove hundreds of miles across Texas to a Hispanic-majority city to carry out his attack.

He is believed to be the author of a document posted minutes before the shooting which said the attack was "a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas".

In a statement, the FBI said the attack "underscores the continued threat posed by domestic violent extremists and perpetrators of hate crimes".

It also said it was concerned that "US-based domestic violent extremists could become inspired by these and previous high-profile attacks to engage in similar acts of violence".

Last month, the FBI said this kind of violence was on the rise and most of it was motivated by some form of white supremacist ideology....

“The Letter” — Amy McGrath for U.S. Senate

Kindly donate to Amy McGrath's Senate Campaign (click here), I am certain Russia is hard at work to defeat her.

This is the reception a Marine Veteran receives from the leader of the US Senate as she runs in opposition of McConnell obstruction which has alienated the US Senate from the needs of the American people.

The idea McConnell would double down on being the Grim Reaper as a campaign slogan which includes Amy McGrath's name is disgusting and threatening. McConnell has lost all honor in his politics.

Amy McGrath has an important task to end the corrupt reign of "Moscow" Mitch McConnell. He is not simply an obstructionist to the well being of the American people, he is a friend to Russia and is corrupt to the core.

July 31, 2019

In December 2018, (click here) the Trump administration announced it would lift sanctions from three companies linked to Russian oligarch and longtime Manafort business partner Oleg Deripaska. The sanctions were originally put in place to respond to Russia’s malicious cyber activities and attempts to subvert Western democracies.

Instead of punishing Deripaska, however, the deal negotiated by the Treasury Department freed him from hundreds of millions of dollars in debt—and allowed him and his allies to keep majority ownership of his most important companies. When a bipartisan group of Senators s­ought to block this deal, Mitch McConnell and the majority of his Republican colleagues voted it down.

Then, just three months later, one of these companies announced a $200 million investment into an aluminum mill in Mitch McConnell’s backyard.

That’s what a quid pro quo looks like....

Yes, you read that right, "Moscow" Mitch is in bed with the Russians.

When the US Senate measures to end the corruption by the US Treasury, the Senators issues a statement:

December 19, 2018

...“Today’s announcement, (click here) which comes as a result of negotiated changes to the En+ corporate structure, does not change the fact that Mr. Deripaska, his employees, and his companies work at Vladimir Putin’s behest and operate as de facto representatives of the Russian government - a government that has occupied and intimidated its neighbors, sought to disrupt free and fair elections, violated nuclear treaties, and continued to wage influence campaigns to undermine western democracies, including our own.  While the Treasury Department has made great strides in reducing Mr. Deripaska’s ownership state in En+ and making beneficial changes to the corporate governance, this deal will require constant monitoring to ensure that neither Mr. Deripaska nor the Russian government violate the terms of the agreement. The addition of Victor Boyarkin, one of Mr. Deripaska’s key lieutenants, to the sanctions list will help counter some of Russia’s malign influence efforts, and is a welcome step.  We will continue monitoring these sanctions’ effects, and to hold accountable those who would violate them.”

This is not a minor issue. What McConnell is engaged in is wrong and detrimental to the democracy of the USA and the freedoms we all enjoy.

King Salman is making a very generous offer to help heal the Muslims attacked in New Zealand.

Saudi Arabia is involved in a war that is producing child refugees. There still are no peace talks which should also include Iran. Hopefully, Saudi Arabia has begun to deal with the war and will move toward peace and talks with other parties.

This generous offer to the New Zealanders is a good measure to assist others, it should not stop there.

The memory of the attack does have lingering effects on survivors. I am sure their religious dedication will heal their worst nightmares.

The scars (click here) from the nine bullets the gunman fired into Temel Atacocugu run down his left side like knotty rope. But it's the recurring mental images from that day at the mosque that he often finds hardest to cope with: The gunman's face. The puff of smoke from his gun. The worshippers falling as they clamored to escape.

After coming so close to dying nearly five months ago, Atacocugu feels he has been "reborn." And this week he plans to express his gratitude to God for being given the chance for a new life when he participates in the hajj, the holy Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca.

The 44-year-old kebab shop co-owner is among 200 survivors and victims' relatives from the Christchurch mosque shootings who are traveling to Saudi Arabia as guests of King Salman. The king is paying for their airfare, accommodation and travel costs, a bill that will run well over $1 million. The group will also travel to holy sites in Medina.

All able-bodied Muslims are required to perform the hajj once in their lifetime, with many saving for years to make the journey. The annual pilgrimage draws nearly 2 million Muslims from around the world to Mecca and sites around it to perform a series of ancient rites and prayers meant to cleanse the soul of past sins and bring people closer to God....

My understanding of the White Supremacist/Nationalist man at the age of 19 to early 20s and not involved in a relationship is that they are a lone wolf. They are alone, dedicated and began their indoctrination in their early teens.

Computer isolation definitely contributes to their indoctrination. The isolation defines their masculine identity in violence and hate. The hate defines their spirituality.

White Supremacist language and symbols are not well known to teachers, parents or American society in general. That "secret" identity plays right into the identity of a teen boy that basically has trouble being accepted socially. The secret society and aloneness support them emotionally. They no longer need acceptance in any social situation. They have been removed from American society in it's values all while still attending school, etc.

Americans like to think they can take on such dynamics and turn it around. By the age of 19 that isn't possible. The secret society and it's value system is now about six years in the making in a 19 and 20 year old White Supremacist.

President Trump did well with his speech. I congratulate him on denouncing White Supremacy/Nationalism and naming Domestic Terrorism as a reality in the USA. I appreciate his words to the Mexican President. 

I hesitate to criticize any of the measures President Trump called for to protect the American people. There will have to be academic support in passing such a bill to ensure their validity and tenacity when opposed in the courts.

Most of the measures he mentioned have been called for before without success. The "Red Flag" laws might actually have teeth to bring about the arrest of people believed to be domestic terrorists. What comes to mind is the episode with the Boston Bomber that was interviewed by the FBI. He was never removed from society to protect people from his plans. It gets tricky when finding people acting in anticipation of killing. Perhaps these new laws will result in protections of the people.

Video games have been criticized before and resulted in a code to maintain control by adults over violent content. If indeed this continues to be an issue, what measure will finally end indoctrination of violence? 

There is an element missing in his plans and that is a moratorium of any further sales of assault weapons. They aren't needed. They aren't used in hunting and they have only one purpose to kill people. Some states have passed laws that contain these guns from killing people. Those state laws have survived the scrutiny of the Supreme Court and need to be considered for national application to end the availability of these guns.

I thank President Trump for bringing strong words to end the danger to people within the borders of the USA. I can only hope Congress acts and soon and these deaths end once and for all.

Democrats on Sunday (click here) called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to reconvene the upper chamber to vote on House legislation that would expand background checks for gun buyers in the wake of deadly mass shootings in Texas and Ohio over the weekend.

“One awful event after another. Leader McConnell must call the Senate back for an emergency session to put the House-passed universal background checks legislation on the Senate floor for debate and a vote immediately,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.

Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Bernie Sanders (I-V.t.) similarly urged McConnell to bring the Senate back into session following the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, which took place within 24 hours of each other. At least 29 people died and scores more were injured in the two shootings....

Looks like Ohio needs a better Governor.

August 4, 2019
By Cameron Knight and Jessie Balmert 

As Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (click here) spoke at a community gathering after the Dayton shooting, the crowd erupted in chants of "Do something." 

In the wake of Dayton's mass shooting Sunday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine was shouted down by a crowd of vigil attendees wanting action.

As he took the stage in the Oregon District of Dayton, the location of Sunday's mass shooting, and commented on the size of the crowd gathered, he was met with chants.

"Do something!" the crowd chanted over and over.

Dewine's first act as a newly elected Governor was to reverse a gun law which placed a priority of gun regulation according to the "Gun Control Act of 1968,"

(L) "Dangerous ordnance" (click here) does not include any of the following:

(7) Any firearm with an overall length of at least twenty-six inches that is approved for sale by the federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives under the "Gun Control Act of 1968," 82 Stat. 1213, 18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(3), but that is found by the bureau not to be regulated under the "National Firearms Act," 68A Stat. 725 (1934), 26 U.S.C. 5845 (a).

Saying that his signature represented (click here) “a reaffirmation of the Second Amendment,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed his first bill into law Monday afternoon

House Bill 86, which corrects a drafting error in gun-related legislation that the Republican-controlled General Assembly passed late last year, took effect immediately as an emergency measure.

The new law corrects inadvertent wording that included firearms with an overall length of at least 26 inches — taking in many rifles and shotguns — as “dangerous ordnance.”

Groups such as the Buckeye Firearms Association, Ohioans for Concealed Carry and the Ohio Gun Collectors Association, whose leaders attended the bill-signing ceremony, lobbied lawmakers to swiftly correct the mistake.

The GOP-ruled Senate passed the new bill recently by a party-line 23-9 vote, while the House approved it 76-20.

House Bill 228, which the emergency measure corrected, does not take effect until March 28. It further forbids local governments from imposing restrictions on guns and shifts the burden of proof in self-defense cases from the defendant to prosecutors.

Both killers wore hearing protection, the kind found in a shooting gallery where people practice with their guns. I think that is a methodology. It prevents the sounds of people running and screaming from being overpowering to end the shooting. I think it prevented distraction. I doubt they wore it to prevent hearing loss.

Trump said, "...it is only going to get worse..." That is an invitation.

Donald J. Trump has equated the deaths of people over the weekend with immigration reform? There are some serious mental health problems with him.

There is a very fluid border at El Paso.

Immigration is not the issue in El Paso. It is an international incident. I think the Foreign Minister is correct. It was an attack against Mexicans. There is no doubt about it. The shooter was a White Nationalist. This is not an immigration issue in El Paso. There was a free flow of people between the USA and Mexico at El Paso. Mexicans worked in El Paso and went home at night. The people shopping at the place where they realized their deaths were there to conduct their everyday lives. Immigration has nothing to do with the El Paso deaths.

The shootings in the past week have realized the deaths of children, very young children. Two and three year olds.

In stating the situation is only going to get worse means there is nothing that is going to be done by Congress. Nothing will change.

Invasion indicates harm to others. Invasion is not the word to characterize the people coming from the Northern Triad. They are refugees. The people are unarmed and have no agenda of harm. Invasion is no different than infested, both words indicate harmful circumstances. Those words used in relation to human beings are inflammatory.

Mexico on Sunday (click here) threatened to take legal action against the United States for failing to protect its citizens after this weekend's mass shooting in the border city of El Paso.

Of the 20 people gunned down at a Walmart at the Cielo Vista Mall, at least seven were Mexican citizens, and Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard promised Mexico City will act.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called the attack in El Paso a "terrorist act against innocent Mexicans."

Above is a map of the mass shootings that appeared as part of an article on "Vox." (click here) Call me crazy, but, as soon as I saw this map it looked like the interstate highway system. The California and West Coast mass shootings on this map is definitely Route 5 North and South.

The east coast, I can easily pick out Route 95 North and South and Route 85 North and South. Route 85 is more Northeast and Southwest. Then there is the southern end of I-55 North and South below I-40 East and West.

It is probably nothing except population areas. I just had to point it out. Maybe another set of eyes has more insight than mine.

This has been a horrible weekend for America. People are dead, wounded and maimed because of guns that are legal in the USA.  

I hope there will be peace tonight into tomorrow.

Good night.

Donald J. Trump does nothing to provide a counter-voice to the extremist voice of the White Nationalist leader. Instead, his hate speech serves to give him and many other Republicans a voter base.

The NRA in their statement should then expect reasonable laws that work to prohibit gun violence in the USA.

The guns are the problem. The violence behind the assault weapons are not necessary in the USA.

Militias in Oregon have threatened law enforcement officers. There was never supposed to be weapons in the USA that could undo the authority of law enforcement. Those militias have mental health problems, huh?

Mulvaney is not connected to reality. He is angry, but, at the wrong people.

Yes, people are blaming the president. Absolutely. He is a racist.

That would be a good thing, Trump never brings the nation together. Suggestions? Like, ending the lying. He could start with that.

This would not be happening if Hillary Clinton was president.

Since Trump took office, there is a record number of hate groups. Is he proud of that? Is that a goal?

Bill Barr is not the answer. Bill Barr is in contempt of Congress. Bill Barr is not trustworthy. Does Bill Barr know the Grand Dragon? Do you know the Grand Dragon stated he was glad Heather was dead? He did.

Mulvaney is as confused as the Trump constituency that doesn't listen to any mainstream media. Seriously. Did he drink the Kool-Aid?

H.R.8 - Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 (click here)
Reported to House (02/22/2019)

Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019

This bill establishes new background check requirements for firearm transfers between private parties (i.e., unlicensed individuals).

Specifically, it prohibits a firearm transfer between private parties unless a licensed gun dealer, manufacturer, or importer first takes possession of the firearm to conduct a background check.

The prohibition does not apply to certain firearm transfers, such as a gift between spouses in good faith.

Sorry, I am not finding any passed legislation in 2018 or 2017. I'll keep looking.

This article from The Guardian clearly states the USA Congress has done basically nothing, except, to pass legislation that is the same as the one before it. Since, the expiration of the "Assault Weapon Ban," Congress has failed to protect Americans. Their measures have failed and continue to fail.

Let me make myself clear.

EVERYTHING THE USA CONGRESS HAS DONE TO END THE GUN VIOLENCE HAS FAILED.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT BILL WAS PASSED OR WHAT EXCUSES THEY ARE USING.

IT HAS ALL FAILED!

16 November 2017
By Lois Beckett and Sabrina Siddiqui

Ten years ago, (click here) after a mass shooting that could have been prevented, Congress passed a bipartisan law to fix America’s gun background check system. A decade later, a bipartisan group of senators is introducing new legislation to try to fix it again.

The gun legislation the senators announced on Thursday morning would not require a background check on every single gun sale, despite new polling data showing that 95% of Americans – a record high – support these universal background checks....

...For years, the federal database that is supposed to stop dangerous people from buying guns has been undermined by missing records. At least three of America’s most high-profile mass shooters were legally barred from buying guns, but were able to purchase them anyway because of the federal system’s failures. Among them was the gunman who murdered 26 people in a Texas church this month....

...But even as a series of deadly shootings have come to pass, gun-related legislation has been stymied on Capitol Hill amid steep opposition from Republicans and the NRA.

In addition to the failed vote on background checks in 2013, the Senate twice rejected proposals to prevent suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms.

The latter votes followed both the Orlando massacre in June 2016, which left 49 dead and 58 others wounded, and the December 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, in which 14 people were killed and 22 more were injured at an office holiday party. In both incidents, the perpetrators claimed to be inspired by Islamic State.

Two months ago Dayton experienced a tornado outbreak.

May 28, 2019
By Vanessa Romo and Bill Chappell

Several tornadoes (click here) touched down in highly populated areas of Dayton and other Ohio communities late Monday night, causing catastrophic damage. The storms devastated dozens of buildings and trees. One death has been reported, officials said Tuesday morning.

The National Weather Service says that "at least an EF3 tornado with winds up to 140 mph" struck the city of Beavercreek in Greene County, Ohio. It says similar winds hit Trotwood in Montgomery County — and that it's too early to know whether the same tornado passed through those counties. On the tornado strength scale, an EF3 is designated as "severe."...

The USA also exports it's LEGAL firearms to increase violence in Mexico.

Map to the above in the article below are foreign companies manufacturing guns in the USA.

...Glock is based in Austria, (click here) Taurus in Brazil and Beretta in Italy. When it comes to feeding the voracious American appetite for firearms, overseas gun makers have not only borrowed U.S. icons—they’ve taken substantial market share once held almost exclusively by American manufacturers like Colt and American Outdoor Brands Corp., formerly Smith & Wesson.

About three out of 10 firearms available for sale in the U.S. come from abroad, according to a Bloomberg News analysis. Imports totaled 5.1 million weapons, or 31 percent of all guns made for the American market in 2016, the last year for which complete government statistics are available. In some cases, foreign gun makers are completely reliant on the American market. HS Produkt, based in Croatia, exported 95 percent of the firearms it manufactured last year to the U.S....

Don't talk about jobs and American companies. There are no tariffs on gun imports.

June 7, 2019

By Megan Cerullo

Arturo Sarukhan, (click here) the former Mexican ambassador to the U.S., has a proposal for President Donald Trump in exchange for halting the flow of migrants crossing the border: Stop American-made guns from pouring into Mexico.

"The U.S. should immediately stop the flow of guns and bulk cash across its southern border," he tweeted this week as the two countries strained to reach a deal ahead of American tariffs going into force Monday on all Mexican imports.

The issue of gun trafficking has long been a point of contention for Mexico. A 2018 analysis from the Center for American Progress found that from 2011 to 2016, 70% of the 106,000 guns used in violent crimes in Mexico and recovered by law enforcement had come from the U.S. And that represents just a fraction of the total number of weapons crossing the southern border. A separate study found that between 2010 and 2012, nearly 213,000 firearms of all legal arms sales in the U.S. were smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border. That represents 2.2%  of arms sales in the U.S. at the time, valued at around $200 million....

The problem is the guns!

This is the weapon, .223-caliber rifle killed, wounded and maimed in Dayton, Ohio. This is the weapon the police had to stop.

Hundreds of mothers (click here) surged to the White House with other protesters Saturday evening to demand stricter gun control laws in the wake of the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, that killed at least 20 people. 

The powerful, spontaneous “Moms Demand Action” demonstration was one of a series of heartfelt expressions of support and sympathy throughout the nation for the victims of the shootings at a Walmart, in which at least 26 people were injured.

Mothers hoisted signs reading “Coward Congress” and chanted: “Whose house? Our house!”

A representative of the group told The Washington Post that members were meeting nearby for a conference. When the women learned of the massacre, “the tenor and tone of the whole room changed” and participants decided to march, said one of the group’s leaders, Amber Gustafson....

The response time of the Dayton police was LESS THAN A MINUTE and the shooter was still able to kill, wound and maim in the double digits. The police can't do this any better. It makes sense that on a Saturday night the police would be in the area of a popular area of time. The people are there it enjoy themselves and the police want that, too. 

Wasn't it Dayton that just went through horrible flooding as well. There is far too much tragedy in this country on a regular basis. 

Oregon District 5th Street is a very popular area.

It is a gun problem!

As gunfire (click here) ripped through America in an unprecedented 24 hours, a bleak milestone in a nation pocked by gun violence was marked: There have been 251 mass shootings in 2019.

The killer knew he was going to kill many people. Did he know his sister was there? Killers have killed family before, the killer in Sandy Hook killed his mother before going to the school.

I reject the idea there are mental health problems, there are plenty of people with the same mental health problems that don't kill.

THESE ARE KILLERS AND THE WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARE NOT HAVING MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. IVANKA TRUMP IS LAYING COVER FOR HER FATHER'S VOTERS.

THIS IS A GUN PROBLEM! END OF DISCUSSION!

THEY ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND THEY MAKE PLANS TO KILL. THERE IS NO MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM.

The responses are excellent, the police are arriving within 5 to 6 minutes. That is consistent across all these mass shootings. They are doing the absolute best they can and they are laying down their own lives when they do respond. It is time to recognize the real problem and that is the guns.

El Paso, Texas (AP) — The shooting (click here) that killed 20 people at a crowded El Paso shopping area will be handled as a domestic terrorism case, federal authorities said Sunday as they weighed hate-crime charges against the gunman that could carry the death penalty....

...The attack on Saturday morning was followed less than a day later by another shooting that claimed nine lives in a nightlife district of Dayton, Ohio. That shooter was killed by police....

The danger to police officers in the USA is ridiculous. There was a time in the USA when the police complained they didn't have 9 mm handguns like the criminals. Today they are wearing body armor and respond to killers with military capacity weapons. The guns are out of control.

Yesterday in El Paso the police that responded involved everyone with the capacity to help. It is out of control.

...Ned Peppers, (click here) which has been near the center of the mass shooting in Dayton early this morning, was a bar previously known as T.B. Hopkins, but was bought in 1994 by James "Jim" Schaefer, who died in late April 2019. Schaefer renamed the bar to Ned Peppers, and connected it to neighboring bar The Hole in the Wall, which he also owned.

Good thing that didn’t happen.(click here) Today’s Oregon District is among the Gem City’s shiniest jewels.

Thanks to the American Planning Association, the nation is finding out what we already knew: Fifth Street is pretty boss.

Three mass shootings in a week, two in less than 24 hours.

It is time to hear from the FBI.

Just that simple. 

Moscow Mitch McConnell won't do a thing.

The FBI and State and Local Police need to organize.

Congress should already be in emergency session, are they?

The internet sits should already be shut down and it should have been shut down by the servers. They know who they are.

The stores need to postpone the "School Sales."

This is an organized effort. No different than Dillon Roof they know the weakness in detecting the attacks. Again, the posting on internet sites is occurring shortly before the attack. These are not random decisions. There is reason to act against the hate crimes before they occur.

There won't be a national emergency called because it should have occurred already.

State and local governments can cooperate with authorities. Let them take it to the Supreme Court.

SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.

This is an immediate and long term effort.

The Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting was July 28, 2019. It was a hate crime as well.

The Second Amendment does not protect the right to slaughter Americans.

The dead may be poor people. Who helps them bury their loved ones?

How many people traumatized? How much PTSD was rendered today?

A man comforts a woman who was in the freezer section of a Walmart during a shooting incident, in El Paso, Texas, Aug. 03, 2019. 

As many as 18 people (click here) (As many as...There is no definitive number?) were killed and dozens more were injured, and a white male in his 20s is in custody after a mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart on Saturday morning, officials said.

How many of the wounded are maimed and permanently disabled?

The wounded ranged in age from a 2-year-old child to an 82-year-old victim. That is the demographics of those that shop at Walmart; young families and the elderly. 

The suspect, identified by authorities as Patrick Crusius, 21. He is a domestic terrorist. This is a hate crime.

He was "taken into custody without incident" and without any law enforcement officers firing their weapons, according to El Paso Police Department Sgt. Robert Gomez. The alleged shooter's motives remains unknown, Gomez said, adding that "we have ruled out multiple shooters."
