10 people have been killed, and another 3 injured in a "“hate crime and racially motivated violent extremism" attack. The shooter attempted to livestream the attack on Twitch. The stream was taken down around 2 minutes in. The shooter has been arrested.
Notably, there was a security guard at the scene who attempted to take down the shooter and was subsequently killed, which flies in the face of the argument that you need a good guy with a gun to help prevent these types of incidents.
How many more of these will be allowed before the US legislative body realise that there is a reason no other developed country has anything like this many shootings?
Another mass shooting in the US

The last time Great Britain was invaded was 1797. If your theory that you are convinced about was true, then you would expect constant invasions over the last 200+ years.
I also note Canada haven't been invaded much since 1812 either.

An honest man defends his homeland no matter how f*cked up it may be. But it's my home.

I'm sorry but this is where you go wrong and why I hate nationalism. Borders are imaginary lines drawn on a map to help justify some seriously facked up sheet.
It seems so easy and obvious to me that a truly honest man first defends the truth, fairness, safety and justice ahead of everything else, even his own country.

Right, the point is that you are republican and that the republican agenda in Texas has a mish mash of contradictory and abhorrent positions. As a republican voter, you are in favour of these positions. This is why they are relevant.
Part of the reason the UK has never been invaded is probably to do with the alliance with the US. That would be the might of the US military though. People aren't having second thoughts about invading the UK because some nuts in Alabama own some guns.
You state that this gunman shouldn't have been allowed a gun, but your actions show that you think he should have been allowed one. That is a contradictory position.

These idiots say they want to protect the innocence of their youth but are happy enough to have them surrounded by guns, armed cops needed at schools and have 5 year olds doing shooter drills at schools.
The only right you have is to live your life afraid and in fear from the time you are born to when you die, very possibly prematurely. They have no clue the peace that societal safety brings, not needing to think about or have lethal weapons within reach during a family barbecue. Content in their melting pot cauldron.
Geniuses.

Both men were racist fcks. These are the people who shouldn't have had one.

That excludes a huge number of gun owners.
Also, were you trying to make some kind of point by bringing an African American shooter into the conversation?
