Charleston
Would the NRA be willing to fund every single person nationwide to have a firearm ( man women and child) 
Presumably there's a couple hundred at least that don't own one

1st world? maybe but it is definitely in the relegation zone when you look at some of the social metrics

Life expectancy

inequality-adjusted human development index

According to one of the shooter's close friends (a young black kid no less), the guy doesn't have a racist bone in his body, and his original target for spraying a random dozen strangers with bullets was going to be the Uni a couple of miles up the road. Assuming both of those things are true, he likely decided to pick on the church instead because he knew (or strongly suspected) there'd be far less chance of him coming up against an armed security guard.
Too many guns, not enough good quality mental health-care. Tragic combination.

Ever thought about stopping being a sniping little so and so? You don't make me angry, you're a POS IMO so why would I get angry? You are confusing frustration with anger, frustration as to why you feel the need to go round this forum following me like a pathetic little lapdog making one jibe after another, but when you are asked why you run and hide and refuse to answer only to surface a few hours later with yet another snipe.
You are pathetic and not man enough to just come out and say what your problem with me actually is! You're the same with Jack and were the same with Telboy before you drove him away. People can criticise me all they like if they give a reason (and Lord knows I give people enough) and if I call someone a **** I will tell them why yet you can't manage that and that makes you a sad little man in my book!
So why not man up and tell me what your issue is or is it genuinely beyond you?

..... have a search of dbp's posts and see just how many are unprovoked snipes at me in the last few months. Ali has noticed it as have other posters and all are puzzled as to what his issue is. I ignored him for a long time, but now I have had enough of him. I will either get banned or someone will deal with him! I don't really care any more!

Hardly, quite happy to have it out with him, but the forum has rules that preclude me telling him exactly what I think apparently and anyway they include trolling which is what he does.
Maybe you should have a chat with him and get him to call me a paedophile like you did as obviously you think that is perfectly acceptable!
Now run along and play with your bike

Do you ever consider that it might not be you that's wrong, not everyone else?

This doesn't make sense.
Did you ever consider that it was you who made an unnecessary and argumentative post several weeks ago, directed at me, in response to a post I made on which I was merely giving my opinion on the topic of the thread? Clearly you were looking for a reaction/argument - the only reason you post on here - and then when you got one, you played the same old, boring 'what an over-reaction/don't get so defensive' card.

Oh dear. I've already quoted the sentence once. If you're still unable to realise how it doesn't make sense then trying to educate you would probably be a waste of time.
Now go back and read it nice and slowly. You see now?
