10 killed, 10 wounded in Santa Fe, Texas, shooting

Seen on Morning Joy moments ago:

A white guy maybe in his thirties in a tee shirt and bermudas, carrying an American flag, wearing a MAGA hat and a holstered semi-automatic pistol, approached the high school on foot.

Stopped by police and newsies, he explained he was there "to offer support".

And then he walked away.

Texas, of course, is an open carry state.

These are the people whose man is in the White House.

Time to repeal the 2nd Amendment.

Federal, state, and local authorities will then be free to outlaw firearms types and legally restrict, or even forbid, civilian ownership of firearms, as well as impose gun safety and registration requirements.

Meanwhile, people who want gun control are shoveling bullshit in large quantities, trying to increase alarm and outrage by using ludicrous criteria for identification in order to pump up the number of school shootings so far this year, all the while knowing perfectly well that the audience will take them to be referring to mass shootings of students or school personnel by people who went to the school purposely to carry them out.

Proving the lack of scruple and respect for decency in politics is not confined to one side.

Politifact is among those far too indulgent toward these both laughable and egregiously, intentionally misleading ways of counting.

As to the shooter in Santa Fe, he told police his purpose was to kill some people he didn't like.

No indication of religious, political, or racial motivation.
