    Mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue

    I'll be very interested in the NRA's response. Probably we need to arm the rabbis.

    No, we're not falling apart just because some crazy people do some crazy, criminal things.
    Crazy people do that sometimes.

    I guess maybe this shooter blames Jews for his woes instead of some other group.
    That's certainly happened before.

    I so agree! The suspect was an antisemitic who had made hate posts on FB, as you do when you're fixing to unsling your gun so the police have more evidence against you. Our PurrPurr lives in that area, but she is all right.

    why do civilians need assault weapons - except to kill other civilians.

    Weapons are used for all sorts of legitimate purposes.

    But if you're a law-abiding citizen doing law-abiding stuff; your purpose or "need" doesn't figure into it because you're doing law-abiding stuff.
    You don't even have to have a "need" - shooting for fun and sport is perfectly legitimate.

    Every weapon can be an "assault weapon"; as can be common, ordinary things like vehicles; as we have seen in some recent assaults.

    Oh, and you can legitimately mow down a whole boatload of bad guys if you ever have a need to.
    I almost forgot to add that.

    And it will happen again, sad to say. Crazy can be anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    Daddy was a Korean War veteran who belonged to a deer-hunting club. He kept all his guns loaded and ready. Along with his squirrel gun, shotguns, and a .22 revolver, he owned a scoped high-powered deer rifle--not military issue, but one that would have been handy to take out some of the flock up at the Methodist church on the corner. But he never yanked a gun in anger or hate. My point? Jim is right.

    One of the victims was a 97-year-old woman who survived the Holocaust. So sad.

    Whatever they legally desired, of course.
    Although I wouldn't call it "playing"; those instruments are not toys.

    Not only did she make it to 97 - she reportedly survived government-sponsored genocide.

    Well said, and true.
    But people will continue to support him.

    They'll blame it on the media or the Democrats.
    They might even say that the massacre was a "Jewish inside job"; carried out to make him look bad and try to derail his plan to "Make America Great Again"; as if there is one; or even a need for one.

    But he didn't inspire or incite this hatred; he simply affirmed the feelings of those who already felt that way and made them feel that their sicknesses are normal, acceptable, or even admirable.

    And his own flawed psychology has been affirmed by his followers and made to seem normal, and acceptable, admirable even; over and over again; and will be again.
