Guns killing people isn’t political

It sure is political when you have a party in power trying to make sure there’s guns everywhere.

The big part of the story is people were killed by the truck. Two officers were also shot (and luckily seem to be stable).

No, the big part of the story is that gun nutters didn’t even wait 4 hours into 2025 before killing a crowd of people.

If I were pro unregulated second amendment (which I am not), I would be saying that if you want to limit guns you also have to limit cars cuz this guy killed/injured many more with his car.

Car ownership is regulated; you have to get a license, renew it every so often and have insurance. One can get an unlicensed gun via private ownership; you are not required to renew your license nor get any insurance for it.

At minimum, the background check loopholes should be closed, and gun owners should be required to get insurance and renew the license to own every so often.

As a PP pointed out, no form of licensing or registration could have prevented this murderer’s misuse of a vehicle.

It's a suicide, nothing's going to stop this from happening.

Oh great the same people who “looked the other way”, refuse to arrest people and slow walked all the investigations in to Jan6 are now telling us it was not terrorism. This means it was domestic terrorism committed by RWNJs. The only thing the FBI puts any effort in to investigating is CEO killings and fake antisemitism.

I can make it political. The federal government declared that this act, which killed and injured dozens of innocent people, is not terrorism. Meanwhile, the federal government also recently declared the the death of one health insurance CEO is a vile act of terrorism for which they are pursuing the death penalty. The Biden Administration also recently commuted the death sentences of dozens of mass murderers. For the Biden administration, terrorism only occurs if the victim (just one) is a very rich man. How is not political?

New York State charge Mangione with terrorism; the federal government did not - they charged him with stalking, murder with a firearm, and a firearm charge.

At the time of the New Orleans incident, the federal government probably did not have enough information at the time to call it terrorism; that may change once they have additional information.

I just watched the early morning press conference. They explicitly stated it wasn’t terrorism. Seems early to make such a statement, especially given the fact police officers were shot and explosives were found.

The FBI said it wasn't terrorism. The mayor apparently said it was, just a few minutes before.

I suspect this may be due to different definitions of "terrorism." The definition of "terrorism" in the US Code is restrictive - it doesn't extend to conduct motivated purely by hatred of a specific group or violent misanthropy. That's why Dylann Roof and Robert Bowers were never charged with terrorism by the federal government, even though in the common parlance, targeting a black church and a synagogue because of hatred towards Black people and Jews would constitute terrorism.

It’s political because the political party that will soon be fully running our nation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the gun industry and the NRA. And they want to see stuff like this happening everywhere. They are fueled by spilled blood. They are literally satanic. Guns everywhere. Death everywhere. Live sacrificed to guns. Guns guns guns.

You do realize he carried out this attack with a truck, right?

And yet, you can easily drive and own a car without a license. Happens every day. Those that break the law don't worry about silly things like the rules.

Using that logic then why would anything at all ever be illegal?

Are you suggesting that we make murder legal?

I don't understand why every city doesn't block streets with large trucks, police cars, etc. when there are going to be crowds in the street celebrating. In the DC metro area, this is standard protocol any time there is any type of street festival, etc.

Because that costs money. I agree it is a good idea, but can't you just picture Elon or Vivek rolling their eyes and incredulously lamenting a line item of $100k (or whatever) for "road obstructions for street festivals"?

No, enlighten me...

The insurance argument is odd. What are you insuring against? If the legal owner shoots the gun, it’s an intentional act, so not covered. If someone steals it and shoots it, it’s not covered, so what type of insurance do you mean?

NY Times is reporting that the driver/killer is dead

Cops should get a bonus for saving court costs
