From CNN's Josh Campbell

A source familiar with the investigative process says the FBI has opened a domestic terrorism investigation into the mass shooting in El Paso to be worked concurrent to the state investigation, with Texas authorities taking the lead.

The FBI, the source indicated, is surging resources from neighboring satellite offices in Texas and assets are on standby to assist should the state request.

1. KR!

[at140]

2. Confiscate all guns with more than 9 bullet magazines....

Enough is enough.

[NickB79]

8. Guns use differently sized magazines though

Any gun fed from a magazine can accept magazines of any capacity. I've seen 20-round magazines for bolt-action deer rifles, for example, but it would be ridiculous to outlaw such firearms. On the flip side, they make magazines for AR's and AK's that only hold 5 rounds.

Did you mean to say we should ban all magazines that hold more than 9 rounds?

[at140]

9. With 3 caveats

1. The gun has to be capable of holding large capacity magazines
2. Gun owner would violate law if found in possession of larger than 9 bullet magazine.
3. Gun has to be semi-automatic...for example my gun does not require bolt action to fire more bullets.

3. Good.

n/t

[bitterross]

4. Barr will shut that down.

Don't expect that to last or find the truth if it does.

[Midnight Writer]

7. Yeah, it will turn into an Antifa crackdown. You think I'm joking, but I'm not.

[bitterross]

15. I wouldn't put anything past them.

They'll do or say anything to keep power.

[CrispyQ]

18. The ratfucking that is going to happen in 2020 - they are playing for keeps.

We are going to need massive turnout & margins to win.

[crazytown]

11. Barr is excrement

but this is the worst kind of defeatism. Political interference is an event of such intense interest would be suicide.

[Dawson Leery]

5. About time to call these right wing white bastards what they are.

[pangaia]

10. NO. Well yes,, but...

It is REPUBLICANS we must go after.

THEY are accomplices to murder.

They are traitors to our country.

THEY are white nationalist terrorists sympathizers.

[BigmanPigman]

13. Correct...they are accomplices

and encourage more of these terrorist acts against fellow Americans. They have blood on their hands and this was their goal all along, just ask Bannon. He is also responsible for this.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Using bastard as a negative disses everyone born outside of marriage. . . . nt

[Corgigal]

6. Yep, these 4 chan

and 8 chan cheerleading squad has to be closed.

Kind I'd sorry it's gone this way, but it must.

[PSPS]

12. LOL. Barr will just steer it into oblivion.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. Yup, he'll shut it down.

[pecosbob]

14. To the best of my knowledge there is no federal crime called 'domestic terrorism'

so I gotta call bullshit on the FBI's characterization. Federal terrorism statutes are very narrow in scope. The maniac Coast Guard officer planning to kill members of Congress couldn't be charged with terrorism the law is so narrow in scope. They are quite correct to label it 'domestic terrorism', but there ain't no such law. The existing laws were written to deal with foreign groups and nation-states, not American citizens. One might even postulate that they were written in this narrow manner to prevent the law from being used against white Americans.

*Edit...just now read that the FBI is even walking back calling it a hate crime! Saw this coming...

[live love laugh]

16. You mean the FBI under the DOJ? 🙄

[Everyman Jackal]

20. I don't think this is the time to bring up gun control.

For one reason you are not going to get it and for another reason, there are many people with these rifles that will not back you. Keep it all on Trump for now. Make him the bad guy, not the NRA. Shove it down his throat. We are going to need the presidency to get any action on gun control.

[Dan]

21. Do you think that the FBI will meet with Individual #1?
