Shootings and Background Checks

Before the El Paso Shooter was even caught, the Dem-Soc Politicians were calling for more Gun-Control, banning whole classes of fire-arms, even disarming American Citizens. There is a nasty under-current in the Socialist Propaganda to blame President Trump and all white people for being “White Supremacists”, for being white(?), wanting secure borders, and our Welfare System open only to Our Citizens. (An interesting little factoid is approximately 20% of Mexican Citizens live in the USA now. And Guatemalans are allegedly approaching that same statistic.) When the Left talks about Racism, Race Hatred, and Lies, they need to look at their own radical Propagandists first. The unstable, weak-minded people that can be encouraged or frightened into committing these horrible acts listen to the leftist drivel that calls itself “news”. Originals of the El Paso shooter’s “Manifesto” have been scrubbed from the internet already, and different sites try to “spin” it to better fit their Agenda. But the general agreement is he blamed both Dems and Repubs for the “Hispanic Invasion”, and wanted a general reduction of the population for “sustainability”. He is more a radical “Eco-fascist”, and his “white racism” is simply his twisted defense of Texas citizens that are already here. Hopefully the truth will come out in his trial, but it is not available now. So far, the Leftist hysteria of Enviro-collapse was his primary motivation, backed by fear of the Illegal Immigration supported by Leftists that has fed his “racism” against Hispanics. His “saving the world by ethnic cleansing” is straight out of National Socialism, another off-shoot of Marxism and the totalitarian socialism embraced by the Left. See Al Gore’s books on Population Reduction.

The Dayton shooter killed his sister and 8 others before being killed by excellent police response. He is alleged to be a Democrat and a Warren supporter, but is known to have “put together a “hit list” consisting of various family members, friends and classmates over the years. He frequently spoke about death, murder, and the vivid details involved in those scenarios. People around him knew he was disturbed, and even the shooter himself was terrified of his own thoughts.” Hopefully more info will clarify his motives. But he is dead and we can’t ask him now.

When the Dems start doing something to stop the “Everyday and Every Week-end Massacres” in the cities They Control, maybe I’ll start paying attention to them on “Gun Control”. They refuse to disarm the criminals in organized gangs, where they have the Laws, police, and reason to do so, but want to to disarm Law Abiding Citizens in areas they don’t control, who have broken no laws, and whose only “Hate Crime” is believing in the Constitution & Law and Order? They blame President Trump, while he roundly condemns any racial or political violence. They want the NRA labeled a Terrorist group, when there is no evidence of any violence by the NRA, but what about Antifa? Or dozens of other Leftist/Marxist groups with long records of violence, often against innocent people for no reason. And the Leftist Media false accusations are constantly adding to the insanity! Why don’t the Gun Control Fanatics try to fix this: https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2019/08/05/many-el-pasos-daytons-chicago-every-weekend-50-shot-6-killed-windy-city/ “Chicago’s ABC 7 reported on Monday morning that 51 people were shot and seven killed in the previous 72 hours. That number was later upped to 68 shot as the Chicago Police Department delivered its full report.” And similar problems in dozens of Dem-controlled cities across America that kill hundreds of Americans every week?

I do agree with President Trump that there needs to be a “Tightening up on Background Checks” and the first thing is COMMUNICATION! The Cruz kid had over “40 Police Contacts” and at least 2 reports of his threatening a School Shooting in Social Media to the FBI! Many before he bought his gun legally at 18 with the NICS Check. Why wasn’t he Red Flagged? Because the Democrats that run that school system had an agreement with police not to report crimes and Police complaints against “minority students”. And because criminal records are sealed on Juveniles and 18 year olds are considered adults (by the same Lib/Progs that demand the Background Checks) and therefor must be allowed to buy guns, at least long guns.

The majority of mass-shooters have strong indicators of Mental Illness, psychopathic fantasies and acts, and histories of sociopathic behaviors. Unfortunately, they are not well documented until after a horrific act. What’s worse, even very strong indicators in juveniles are hidden from the Law Enforcement responsible for Firearms Background Checks. This must change. Dylan Roof that shot up a black prayer group in SC that was trying to help him? He was under indictment for felony drug offenses, a disqualification, but still bought a gun. There are dozens more like this, but only discovered after the fact, like the Texas Church shooter, numerous domestic violence offenses, kicked out of the Air Force, but passed the NICS Check.

The problem with the Background Checks is the information flow. If the FBI spent half the effort on organizing their info as they did on trying to frame people working for the Trump Campaign, covering up for criminals in the Obama Admin, and even the political criminals in the FBI and DoJ, they could prevent 90% of these Whacko from buying guns. Especially young people, their records must be available for at least 5 years for the NICS Check to be useful. And maybe NICS should be separated from the FBI, it is more Computer Info driven anyway, to be efficient. Give it to the NSA, they spy on Americans all the time anyway, might as well give it a practical use.
