1. It's a state I've never been comfortable in, and it's not the only one. Some states I just

will not be found in unless absolutely necessary.,

15. The shooter is from Illinois.

But go ahead and generalize about an entire state.

16. Thank you, I will. n/t

18. How about Nevada, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut? Mass shootings there too.

20. I agree, it was too broad a brush. I was wrong!

2. It is particularly bad if you are a POC -

3. Heartbreaking...

[elleng]

4. HATE is on the rise!

[RKP5637]

6. I had thought a lot of this had calmed down. It was not perfect, but at least IMO I thought

ignorant and racist hatred had calmed down some, and then along comes Trump with his weaponized hatred stirring the wounds of decades to his advantage. What a disgusting POS Trump is.

[RKP5637]

5. Trump, the catalyst for hatred in America. Clearly usiing Hitler's modus operandi. n/t

10. It was a white supremist terrorist act

Just call it like it is.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

7. Really?

Do I need to list all the other recent mass shootings in other states?

[pbmus]

8. Florida has similar laws concerning guns...lets list...

[Tipperary]

19. I know, right?

[Generic Brad]

9. Great. Im moving there tomorrow

Now you all tell me.

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. I don't know

This isn't the only state with lax gun laws. And the wacko who did this is from Morton Illinois, a town a town I grew up in. The craziness seems to be everywhere.

[colsohlibgal]

12. Maybe

I think those sparsely populated states like Idaho and Montana have more loaded to the teeth anti government so called sovereign alt right wackos.

But Tennessee has way more people and tons of racist and often anti Semite crackers.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. Guns. It is ALWAYS the guns. Gun OWNERS are a major problem.

Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people. Remove the guns. End the carnage.

The singularly most "responsible" gun owner IS part of the problem.

Gun ownership needs to made the next social stigma, like drunk driving and cigarette smoking.

[raven mad]

14. Alaska has more guns per capita BUT -

No fucking way would I move to Tennessee.

17. Well, they do have
