Whilst I believe that the gun laws have always needed looking at, even strict gun laws will not stop this type of thing happening - if someone is determined enough to carry out this type of act, breaking a gun law or 2 won't stop him.
Of course the attitude to guns is very liberal in the states, and it would takes years to change this, as well as enforcing stricter rules, to see any real sign of things changing (if they even wanted to do this), but that really won't stop incidents like today
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's pretty hard to get hold of a gun in a lot of countries let alone a rifle you can get off quick shots with from 300m.

Of course it would make a difference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you actually read the post carefully, I'm not talking about countries where guns are basically 'not allowed', I'm talking about the ones where they are, but just with stricter rules. So stricter rules alone just aren't required, a whole attitude change is also - there are countries which have strict gun laws and don't have the issues of the USA, because the attitude is totally different. That's the point I'm making.

Of course not having being able to get a gun legally at all, except in exceptional circumstances (such as the UK) would be ideal, but you won't have that in the States

The political leanings of the man the FBI identified as the shooter were not immediately clear
BY MICHAEL BIESECKER
Records show Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn in to office.

Also, I've seen reports that he voted in the 2022 midterms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, the magic word ‘apparently’

FFS Mamba
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can't state anything with certainty at the moment, but reliable sources have initially reported he voted in those elections.

Denial is a river in Africa.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Going to deny you came up with a stupid conspiracy about the shooter deliberately shooting into the crowd?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I am categorically denying that.

If he planned and acted alone, beyond brainless and potentially very dangerous political point-scoring, it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever whether he was a registered or voting Democrat or Republican.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd say establishing a motive is pretty important. Otherwise you allow for all these conspiracy theories.

The FBI identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the "subject involved" in what it termed an attempted assassination in a statement early on Sunday. He was a registered Republican, according to state voter records."


----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the comment on state voter records got to do with the FBI? As i say the FBI gave the name, and as I said there are conflicting reports from different news outlets about his voter status. I'm not stupid enough to go away and cite one as proof of what is is either way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no conflicting reports, unless you consider right wing gutter press and YouTube clips as reliable sources.

No one is on their high horse

First you questioned the veracity of a link someone posted showing the shooter is a registered republican. Its been reported in Reuters and all over the place. You've even quoted AP confirming it.

What do you need a couple of days for?

Wonder of you'd still need a couple of days of he was e registered Democrat voter.

Trump will change the law so that only those who voted republican can own a gun.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reports are suggesting that the shooter was a registered Republican and was in active voting status.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So was it an actual Republican or are they going to claim it was a Democrat?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Registered Republican but has recently made a donation to a progressive alliance. Something there for all the loons to claim what they want.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wasn't a recent donation as he was 17 at the time. He gave gave $15 to a very small nonprofit that gives money to Democratic congressional candidates (not Biden)


----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the same vein, he has never actually voted in an election and we have no idea on when or why he registered as a Republican.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get he point you're tryna make here, but still, he never registered democrat and bothered to get off his ass and register Republican.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He also tried to shoot the Republican Presidential nominee, so I'd say there is a good chance he might be a bit conflicted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And you are right. But still only a chance.

This is what conspiracy theories are made of

Thick would be claiming to be certain of the political leanings of the shooter at this point in time.

If you're right you gain nothing, if you're not, well you've proved yourself to be a nutter.
