Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | Its the underground Goverment still trying to get the public so enraged so they can take our guns from us. Watch the politicions say we need more gun laws. You want to stop this. Make everyone carry a gun. Look at Israel. Everybody is trained and carrys. The only reason it happens here is the bad guys have the advantage. Shooting fish in a bowl. |

True....apparently, he had a paintball gun and a pellet gun....IMO, it was his suicide by cop scenario......thinking that they would shoot and kill him! |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | If these vehicle attacks continue, just stop for a minute and imagine.
Anywhere you have crowds of people or crowded sidewalks will be vulnerable. They will put up barricades here and there, but there's no way of stopping them. Clearly all this news is just going to inspire copycat aspiring terrorists. This attack is nothing compared to what happened in Nice, France last year during Bastile day. That bastard killed about 90 and injured a couple hundred more with a truck.

Read about the incident, for God's sake. You sound stupid. |

One could argue that the current gun laws are sufficient since he did not use a gun, he was carrying a pellet and paint gun. |

Location: Kansas | lttllace - 2017-11-01 8:23 AM So funny how people grab one quote from DT's twitter (that he got from Fox news this morning) and run with it. I would encourage you to do a little research to understand all of the facts, who all wrote and passed the bill, and the circumstances around it. Maybe, just maybe, we should be working together to prevent another attack instead of politicizing what happened, and think about the victims and their families. Just a thought. . . . Cheers!
It's not easy to work around the open borders policies of past decades.

Just like the respect given the victims of Las Vegas, the call for more gun control laws started the very same day. Neither “side” can claim they give respect and do not politicize a situation, give me a break. No media “reports new” they all spin and promote their agenda. Morning Joe said Trumps tweet calling for more vetting is Trump saying all our problems are caused by by immigrants -Trump said no such thing, he did not even imply it, MSNBC spreads more lies, hate and division then the best out there.
Under the program, the State Department offers 50,000 visas to each year to immigrants from parts of the world with relatively low immigration rates over the previous five years. Most visas go to people from African nations, as The Washington Post has reported.
To qualify, applicants must have a high school education or two years in an occupation in that requires formal training. Those who meet eligibility requirements are selected at random from a computer lottery. The State Department refers to them as “diversity immigrants.”
The program did originate in part in a bill introduced in 1990 by Schumer, who was then a member of the House. He proposed making a set numbers of visas available each year to “diversity immigrants” from “low-admission” countries.Under the program, the State Department offers 50,000 visas to each year to immigrants from parts of the world with relatively low immigration rates over the previous five years.

Schumer’s measure was absorbed into a broader House immigration bill, which was sponsored by Schumer and 31 others, including several Republicans. The legislation passed in a bipartisan vote of 231-192. The Senate version, which contained the “diversity immigrants” provision, passed in an overwhelming 89-8 vote and was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush at the end of 1990.
For the past decade or so, political leaders have debated whether to keep issuing diversity visas.

Facts are no longer a requirement, more important to not offend, push your agenda, interpret and tell people how to think. |
