NOW will the gopper's allow debate and voting on gun reform? (Original Post) morningfog Jul 2016 OP
This is not going to be played up as a gun debate - it'll be played up as an anti-cop debate. Drunken Irishman Jul 2016 #1
I fully expect that, the racist angle. morningfog Jul 2016 #2

And how politicians and BLM activists are actively fanning the flames of cop hatred - putting lives at risk.

It's going to get ugly on all sides I'm afraid.

Supposedly, one suspect is in custody. We don't know who that person is yet. Press conference any moment now.

Governor Ronald Reagan of California got some of the toughest gun control legislation ever passed in California once the Black Panthers started legally arming themselves.

More people will be killed, and the public will rally behind the police.

If these people were angry about the cops killing black men hand over fist, they screwed everyone who cares about the cause over in an inexcusable fashion.

We've entered a whole new level of race wars now, and I'm sick to my stomach over it tonight.

All it takes is two black men shot down by police (remember them?) and snipers to declare war on police. Now we can hope for gun reform. That will fix everything.

Shoulda thought of this years ago...
