Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

one of the church’s creeds involves putting on a complete suit of armor. Might have to stop being figurative.
Mormons in white shirts with ties and body armor, though they are white as snow and at little risk. Foxnews tells their viewers in many different ways that a black person is a dangerous person and if one shows up at your door, they mean you harm, so shoot first and let God sort them out. Rupert really is a mass murder, who uses a TV network rather than a gun, his viewers use the guns.

Rupert just makes money from creating and profiting from disasters, like Brexit, the modern republican party and Trump. Rupert played a big part in creating the uncontrollable monster that is the republican base now. When Trump came on the scene both foxnews and the republican party were being led by the republican base that was distilled down to America's white trash, both rich and poor by Trump who controlled enough of them. All the good people left the republican party and bigots, racists and lunatics took their place while grifters and psychos became their candidates.

My memory has never been that great, but wasn't that suit of armor supposed to have no back to it? Because a warrior for gawd never retreats?
NM, i forgot we were talking about JW's...no fucking idea what they actually believe...some shit a nutter wrote in a personal journal while tripping on bread mold, as far as i've been able to tell.
or was that some other gawd cult? it's hard for me to keep them all separate, one psychotic zealot is pretty much like all the other psychotic zealots.
I’m never one to speak against a good bread mold bender.

I’m sure our forefathers envisioned high speed ammo and weapons designed to kill as many humans as possible in the least amount of time
Amirite?
Oops
.. that's a human problem. And you should have said "Armalite?", that would have been a cool pun.:) But war is war. Those weapons should have stayed in the military, and not been allowed to breach into the general consumers hands.

List the gun control measures you would like to see implemented?
Number one would be a longer wait period to give the ATF a better chance to put you under the microscope. Minimum 3 months. You ever impulse buy something?... of course you have. Have you ever backed out of a purchase because it was on backorder and it really gave you some time to think about the cost, how often you would use it, etc, and then backed out?.. I know I have. 2nd would be mag capacity. 5 rounds for a long rifle is plenty for hunting, target shooting, etc. Besides, it's easier on your fingers to load 3 or 4, 5 round mags than a 30 rd.... easier on your fingers too.

sarcasm doesn't suit you...
especially since you use it so poorly.
yes, people do kill people, sometimes bare handed, sometimes with a toilet brush, sometimes with a screwdriver or a hammer...but none of those things were designed to take human lives, as quickly as you can pull a trigger, and that is exactly what handguns are designed to do..you use your to hunt bears? so fucking what? get a rifle like a normal person. you use yours to shoot targets? so fucking what? there isn't one person on the entire planet whose feels are as important as one school kid's life, and until you can guarantee these weapons made for murder won't be used for the purpose they are made for, then they ought to be strictly controlled.
See the above. I totally agree with you.

If implemented, it might forestall more restrictive measures. Handguns could be registered (for taxation purposes) and annually taxed too. Once the democrats become entrenched in power as the GOP thrashes around poisoned by its own base, anything is possible with a President Harris or AOC a few years down the road. The best chance gun owners have is regulation, but I think that will do little to curb the mass murders for a while and it will be the mass murders that will drive change. With a President Harris and the democrats in control, an incident with hundred dead school kids might trigger something dramatic.

When I first met my wife about 9 years ago, her brother was a pastor at a Mega Church in OKC (and still is) I was shocked to learn that my new father in law was “volunteer security” along with about 5 others during the services, packing a 17 round concealed hand gun.. I was like … “you gotta be fucking kidding me, right?”… never would have occurred to me.

this leads me to hesitate to ask you what you or your wife think about the evangelical movement.

We don't attend. I disapprove of the whole "Mega Church" deal. We HAVE attended out of ummm respect for what her brother has built, but it's really just a tax free cash cow. You should see him out of his environment. Totally not what he represents at the podium. He cusses, smokes cigs, weed, drinks.... really opened my eyes to the whole deal a few years back. And then the "security" thing. It's fucked up. If you got 20 min. on your hands, this is real, and funny as hell.

Ye HA! Jesus take the wheel! They don't need no stink'en gun regulations in Texas the home of manly men! Of course, he could shoot his gun on his front lawn, it's his 2nd amendment rat, and no law can be passed that interferes with the 2nd because the 2nd is absolute! I don't imagine foxnews will cover it much, they ignore crime outside of certain selected cities, murder never happens in "real America", just among black people in the big liberal cities.

I guess controlling the guns is unthinkable and if some lunatic managed to kill hundreds of kids it would make no difference at all. Their toys are more important than your kids and every consideration must be shown to these "special" citizens who have minority rule in America. Thoughts and prayers...

I thought that was the purpose of the underpants…or am I thinking of scientology?
Mormons do. I had a conversation with a WW2 vet who had served as flight crew in bombing raids over Germany. He described a horrendous moment when his ship came under fire and said he survived because of his garments. Nothing can be said at a moment like that but to just nod and say how awful that must have been. I heard some strange things from Mormons while living in Idaho.

A system of crowd control, developed at the order of Constantine for the specific purpose of creating docile slaves focused on building up rewards in Heaven. Dominated Europe for 2000 years +/-, the rest of the world for much of the next thousand. The officer corps doesn’t believe any of it: it would get in the way of swaying the public. They’re not hypocrites, they’re swindlers: professional con artists, preying upon the most vulnerable (the dark underbelly of ‘good works’).
