IT: 8 killed in San Jose rail yard shooting, and... Should the U.S. probe the origins of COVID-19?

There were signs that this person had problems! We need to have a system to work with these people to stabilize them! They also should not have access to firearms We also must have a better way of dealing with violent people! We must contain these people until they can be non violent in our society! I am sick and tired of people on restraining orders continuously continuing their violence !

GQP wants more prisoners for profit. How? Convict more people of violent crimes. How? Make violent crime easier. How? Put deadly weapons in everyone’s hands. How? Guns, guns, and more guns. Wait. Thoughts and prayers. Arms sales? Same same scaled up. Voilá.

@Dave wrote: "Mathew. I do not like your solution at all. In fact it totally fucking sucks." Such language! LMAO! I have to agree with Dave. The idea is nuts! Of the two options: 1. arming everyone or 2. disarming everyone, I prefer the latter. Fewer deaths all around. Matthew’s solution probably would work well in a Looney Toons cartoon, a Western Comedy, or a third-rate action movie. I give much credence to the idea that societies created Police Departments so that individuals could yield law enforcement to well trained specialists. Admittedly, there’s still lots to be worked out even in the 21st Century. But a return to lawlessness with everyone having access to automatic weapons? No way, Jose, Greg, Ted, Mathew or whomever. @Matthew wrote: “All of us should be free to carry firearms People that go out and start doing mass shootings know that most people are defenseless if criminals knew that everybody had a gun on them crime will drop immediately” Is there any basis for any part of this assertion or is it just QAnon grade, fantastical thinking? Maybe we should invest in Kevlar instead. Make mine a Walker Texas Ranger Long Coat and a Yosemite Sam Hat. Sheesh!

This mass murderer’s name should not be repeated in the media (and here). It’s irresponsible to give glory to people who do this. I’d thought the media learned to do better and stopped doing this. Yet, this guy’s name is in every story. Can’t we at least do this much?

Mathew. I do not like your solution at all. In fact it totally fucking sucks.

So let’s defund the police and take away guns?! Let’s see how much higher crime rates can get! What is the dems goal? To make homicides and crime an all time high? Why not? Illegal immigration records are already an all time high let’s add to this great record of Biden! Democratic Party doesn’t care about the American people or they do but they ignore statistics or data as they care more about power and political narratives. Americans are slowly waking up and realizing this. Why do you think gun sales and NEW gun permits have grown exponentially over the past year? Pro 2A support has grown so which way do you think they will lean? Definitely not left. Keep going with the anti-police rhetoric! Also San Jose and overall Cali has strict gun control laws already. However they have the most mass shootings. So more laws does not equate to less shootings. It’s already evident. But keep adding nonsense gun laws as the mentally ill and criminals pay no attention to it...yeah real common sense there.

We have known since the beginning that Cova 19 escaped from a level for lab in Wuhan China funded by Dr. Fauci through the NIH. Why have we been playing around with the truth this long?

The excess murders can be attributed to the choices we made as a nation back in 1962/63 when we took God out of the classroom. No more 10 commandments on the wall and no more Bible reading and studying. So, we reap the whirlwind when we remove God from our society and move to secular humanism where there is no truth. Expect more murders and unrest in the future until God is restored.

The do nothing GOP will ignore this problem to work on ways to make it harder to vote.

I like to know how the police reform or BLM have any thing to do with mass murder that are exercising their second amendment rights to own and bare arms? The thing with arming everyone with out any requirements, like in Texas, is all the wackos are armed also! So we have shoot outs, because everyone will have a gun and not knowing who is doing what. So far as religion not in schools, religion organization give you pedophilia, dark ages, crusades and corruption hiding behind religion. Teaching morality, Ten Commandments or any social justice, all start at home, by the way who’s religion?

The US homicide rate is 25 times that of other high income countries. Gun crime goes down when you get rid of guns. Every country that that institutes gun control has a drastically lower homicide rate. Every one. The same people who tout the “we need to protect ourselves from corruption” line are the same people who stand by or even take up arms with the corrupt. We have a crisis on our hands with an extremely obvious and simple solution: background checks, licensure, bans on ar-15s and other explicit assault rifles. This is simple, kids. Bad people will always do bad, so make it as hard for them to do it as possible.

This wild west show in the USA brought to you by republicans. Get ready to start fitting your kindergartener with his own set of pistols. Don't let their lunatic raves fool you. They've had their way for the last 40 years whether it's shoving trickle down economics down your throat, moving jobs overseas in the name of free trade, electing lunatics solely based on being a gun toting, pro-life, penny pincher (yeah right) and voting no to anything that remotely improves the average American's life. Rant on you all republican hypocrites, rant on.

How many more people have to die? We must DO SOMETHING. Plus the climate change! We need government to pass common sense laws and take away people’s CARS!

I don’t pretend to know the answer to gun violence and mass shootings. I do know we need to stop posturing and actually work on the problem. As far as COVID 19 goes. I would want to know if it was deliberately loosed on the world.

Oh, and lets not forget the most important qualification to be a republican politician - Just CLAIM to be a christian.

The Democrats support defund the police for a few reasons of which one is less police, more restricted police, resulting in more violence, more gun violence. This then gives them the support to argue firearm elimination.

In order to have a viable pandemic plan, the government needs to understand the cause of COVID-19. Trump’s investigation was more about creating partisan propaganda than preparation. The need for better gun laws is the first step in preventing more unnecessary tragedies. We don’t need increased active shooter for police, schools and places of business. We need more bi-partisan social media campaigns that explain that changing how police funds are allocated is not defunding the police and will not affect policing.

Yes probe origins of COVID for science history and future solutions

People want more gun control but that won’t help the crimes or the murder decrease in number. If we want more control then why not do the same with knifes or cars or anything that can be used as a weapon. Guns are meant to be in the hands of a responsible human being and our streets need more cops to control crime rates. Less cops equal more murders and other crimes, but when more cops are around people feel more safe. We can all agree that the individual that commits the crime is the one responsible not the weapon or object that is used during the crime.

Covid-19 Origination: Biden should explain why he cancelled the original investigation that was in place. He wants people to believe that, all of a sudden, he has seen the light.
