Push that goalpost.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

I mean we already know that the NRA is upset by actual science.


Are they?

Last time I checked, the pro-2A side was the one with the overwhelming amount of "science" to back itself up and didn't need to rely on misleading sources if not flat out lies to make itself feel better like many of the anti's have done in the past and continue to do so.

But hey, keep trying to blame the NRA and make it and it's followers out to be some kind of laughable boogieman out of pure willful ignorance as nothing makes me laugh harder as when people like you keep making these laughable arguments against them.

Clearly if those stupid patients carried guns of their own they could have shot first and kept bullets out of their own bodies. /s

You mean because they used the threat of cutting funding by law to hinder science being carried out? Yeah, that upset me as well.

Yeah, you don't need to do it out of wilful ignorance. You can just see their tweets, their posts, and their videos. They do it all for you, with their clenched fist of truth.

I only have a .380 and .357 Glock. I did have a .45 but I sold it to fund a different gun.

Other than Glocks, I have a Bushmaster AR in .223, a 9mm, a .44 revolver an a .327 Revolver.

No, that was an inevitability. Rather pleasantly surprised that the failure of said marriage is likely for the reason why he was in that particular mental state. After all, we automatically attributed the shooting to PTSD, right? Wouldn't a war veteran who is suffering from PTSD be quite adverse to recreating the sounds of war, or seeing people die?
