Texas
Another gun-related nightmare unfolding in Texas. Hope none of our members are in the area. Sounds as if it’s a bad one.

Ouch..but probably true.
I recall mom was a regular church attendee at the local church in Ealing, in the early-mid 90s. It was 95% empty most of the the time, and only 1/2 to 3/4 full on major religious holidays. I am agnostic so can't even recal the last time I set foot inside a church; must be late 90s or 2000.

Re: Texas
Why would you go to a church? It's so much better to just watch it on TV these days, just like football games.

Re: Texas
Church plays a big part in the social fabric of life, especially in poor rural areas. My heartfelt wishes to all those affected. Poor people.

Always say Births Death and Marriages
Obviously not those sort of Deaths.

Re: Texas
For such a small community this will be totally devastating. I am numb. Will this ever stop

Re: Texas
Isn’t Texas one of these states where folk walk round with guns? I guess that shits on the argument that a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. Still, **** all will be done about it. We all just have to go on about how we are all with the people of Texas whilst in reality not giving a shit about the people in Texas (or anyone else involved in previous mass shootings). Because, if we did care, we’d be doing all we could to make sure it doesn’t happen again!

Re: Texas
No, it wasn't stopped. There's a pile of dead people. You can't stop because you can't predict.
He might have stopped further murders elsewhere, but that's not much of a balance for the over 17,000 gun deaths a year, is it

The IRA bombings and shootings in Britain in the 1970's were political, this is the same. Nobody wakes up on a Sunday morning and says "oh I'll just go out and shoot a couple of dozen people".
All mass shootings are political. Just like the Oklahoma City bombings, Nine Eleven, etc. It has nothing to do with gun ownership. The nasty political stage in Washington DC and elsewhere is moving into the streets. The political and wealthy elite have declared war on the American Middle Class, it's that simple. If you wanted to overthrow the Republic, how else would you do it?
You're in the midst of the Third American Civil War, and it won't end until the Pentagon gets involved.

Please no more gun control debates, its only a smokescreen.

Re: Texas
There is no excuse. And don't tell me gun control wouldn't help. The gun obsession in the US is destroying the US.
The "right to bear arms" needs a codicil.....
