Wait, is he being serious? I don't know who Erick Erickson is and I just assumed it was a joke.

Reminder that Erick Erickson is afraid to go see Star Wars because of ISIS, but thinks liberals are silly bedwetters for wanting to do something about mass shootings that now happen daily.

101st Airborne should be able to handle the burning firearm piles, and lines for the weapon turn ins can be handled by the Marines. Obama can have an executive order executed in time before Congress has a chance to impeach him. We can be gun free by Christmas Day.

Well that and the third party at the conference situation is starting to take away the "why would someone shoot up an autism center!" angle. It's like a domestic "dispute" with the company holding their party there.

Three white guys doing it at once is sure to make a stir of some sort. It just probably won't get the standard wish list of reactionary laws that wouldn't have prevented a typical mass shooting.

Holy Christ shut up.

The conversation went like this:

"There is a, most likely false, eyewitness report of a middle eastern person."

"That's dumb... why would a terrorist shoot up a place like that?"

"Well if they were to do it, it would be because..."

I don't think one single person said "I think it's ISIS because..."

Maybe this'll all stop if he just swears in one of them. Like there's a national conspiracy of people who really want to see Obama just loving lose it, and this is their plan.

I live about 90 minutes away from this and have been treated at the medical center next door. I mean I have to laugh at this because the alternative (i.e. reality both that it happened and the response) is way loving more depressing.

It doesn't matter what he does because every red state will say they won't do it and every usual suspect will just call for his impeachment no matter what it is.
