What were up against folks

I'm on other right leaning Forums monitoring responses to this shooting. Here are some examples.
1. Fuck it only beaners.
2. Bastard son of illegals does the job for us.
3. Damn 19 less toilet scrubbers.
Someone asked in a thread imagine what the parents are going thru tonight, Response "Eating Burritos".
This is the incomprehensible blood thirsty evil we're surrounded by. Interestingly one of these shit hole forums "Liberal Forum.org" (don't be fooled by the name) is of the air this morning.

A bit of history on the AR-15 in America and how we got in this mess

A bit of history on how we got into this mess. Let's go back to the 1980s. At that time ARs were frowned upon by a good portion of even the gun owner and hunting community with a general consensus at the time of "What the Hell do you need a Gun like that for". That Era collected WW1 Bolt Action Springfield's, Mauser bolt action K98s or many liked the M1 Garand with it's low capacity mags.
Now lets move to 1990. Gun manufacturers saw the possibility in making big profits in possibly marketing AR-15 rifles and the gun crowd responded enthusiastically.
Then in 1994 law makers and President Bill Clinton saw what could end up being a disaster with the proliferation of these type weapons being sold to the public. They enacted the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban which halted the sale of weapons designed for no other purpose than killing people.
Yep a small percentage of the gun owner community were upset but things settled down and not being able to buy a military assault rifle and 30 round mags became the norm and all was fine.
Now fast forward to 2004 with a Republican Congress and George Bush Jr at the helm the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban was removed from the books opening a Pandora's box that might well never be closed. Gun makers immediately marketed their new toys with flashy ads and marketing and the AR-15 quickly became the darling of the gun owner community with the ability to kill coyotes to defending yourself from a rogue government.
So here we are today with years and years of American gun makers selling military assault rifles by the millions to a Gun Nutters nation wide because it's their God given right to own one now there's more of these types of weapons out there that we'll every be able to do anything about. Even if somehow lawmakers could pass a complete ban on the manufacturer and sale of these weapons it's too late. Pandora's box has been open by our beloved former president George Bush and we live in a society where you have to live with the idea that some maniac can still obtain these types of weapons that really couldn't be designed any better for killing large numbers of people in minutes. So this is where we are folks....

This all goes back to George Bush Jr

Bill Clinton seeing a trend of increased interest and sales of military style semi automatic weapons with high capacity magazines put into place the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. After a 10 year sunset period George Bush 43 removed the law from the books with the basic attitude of "What could go wrong". Well the rest is history folks. Good ole lovable former president George Bush has blood all over his hands.
