    When people say a mass murderer was mentally ill, they mean he was a white guy.

    Is The Reverend Jim Jones, with 909 bodies to his credit, still the white guy leader in the clubhouse? Granted he left the country to kill, but still, he was 'Murican and a Christianand his victims were 'Muricans.

    The Jesus loving David Koresh torched just under 80 people, but still maybe a Texas record.

    Actually, his first post in response was to apologize for the unclear language. Meanwhile, you kept hammering away while ignoring a legitimate question on the topic from Stoney.

    Fair enough.
    I don't know who typefitter is, apart from him being Canadian.

    So, back to the shooting coverage ... reports are the shooter went to that church because his mother-in-law attended services there.

    Yet, when governments started cracking down on Sudafed-like drugs, cooking meth moved back across the border. This is becoming one of those feel-good laws like Daylight Savings Time.

    Neither used a gun, so they're in a separate division. But both are bowl-eligible.

    No, he was a Marxist loon. He'd long sworn off Christianity when he trotted off to South America.

    "We do not accept religion. Religion says man’s born a sinner. No, he’s not born a sinner. ... Man, the only sin’s you’re born in, is the society, the kind of community you live in. If you’re born in a socialist community, then you’re not born in sin. If you’re born in this church, this socialist revolution, you’re not born in sin. If you’re born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you’re born in sin. But if you’re born in socialism, you’re not born in sin."

    Yes and no. There are still plenty of home made low-end meth labs, and restricting the raw materials makes things harder for those. The problem is that there's a huge market for meth, and the cartels are now stepping in and filling it. It's not difficult chemistry and they manufacture it in bulk and they are not affected by those laws. Or any others, pretty much.
