    Are you seriously arguing that we are killing them because they are "brown?"

    That is not really brown, more of a burnt sienna.

    By opposing more stringent regulations on the purchasing of guns of all kinds, thus allowing many of them to be resold in a non-legal manner and wind up in the "urban cesspools" where gun deaths occur.

    Please, explain how one identifies a threat?

    No shit. The NRA-supported congressional people have made it difficult to regulate the gun industry. This is a de-facto government killing people.

    The services haven't shrunk because "sequestration passed" -- you may not have noticed, but the Budget Control Act has not taken effect -- and even if it does, it will not have an impact on military end strength.

    Believe what you want. It's not the first time you've gone out of your way to show your ignorance on an issue. At least when you really don't know what you're talking about (like on this issue) your posts aren't so prolix.

    My hypothesis was that swallowing the defense cuts was slightly more politically palatable for many members of Congress because recruitment goals were harder to reach. However, your link proves me incorrect.

    He is right the NRA has made it very difficult for the government (ATF) to go against people selling guns to criminals, so they are helping the criminals get guns to scare the population so they can go out and buy more guns.

    It is a beautiful circle that benefits gun manufacturers who are the biggest founders of the NRA.

    At the end it is brown people in urban areas that suffers the most because of the NRA.

    It needs pointing out that your comment could be turned internal as well as being external.

    If they manage to accidentally shoot each other it could almost be called the perfect solution.

    I'm glad to know that picture is from Switzerland. The juxtaposition of that weapon and those bottles would be would be worrisome in the US.

    Really? If the goal of terrorism is to inspire fear, I'd say these shooting are the textbook definition of terrorism. If the goal of terrorism is to wear a turban and speak Arabic, then no. ********ing racist reporting.
