From a couple pages back, but it still kind of blows my mind that Trump has worse unfavorables among blacks than among Hispanics. Like, I wasn't expecting blacks to be huge Trump fans or anything, but given that his entire campaign has been one giant "FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" to the Hispanic community, I always figured they'd be at the top of the list.

I know this isn't US politics, but I see assassination, do they believe it's politically motivated?

zoux posted:I know this isn't US politics, but I see assassination, do they believe it's politically motivated? Investigations on going and our police aren't know for being particularly chatty during an investigation so it could be a while before we know. From what little some people reported the guy shouting "Britain first!" while he did it, which are a group here of Nationalistic pricks who make even die hard Trump fans look like nice, well reasoned people. They're denying it was them, but I wouldn't trust them on loving anything so we'll see. It's almost certainly politically motivated though. Nobody in the UK is carrying around a makeshift firearm just for a lark, this was a planned killing of an MP we just don't know why yet. Since they have the guy in custody we'll probably find out soon enough.

Two witnesses heard the killer shout "Britain First!", some random Twitter feed has turned up links to a far-right magazine, and he had to get the expertise to make his own gun from somewhere. But there's also another witness who didn't hear anything, and someone else who says Jo intervened in a confrontation between the killer and someone else. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/742695148241313792?lang=en

Family of AR-15 Inventor Eugene Stoner: He Didn't Intend It for Civiliansquote:"Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47," the Stoner family told NBC News late Wednesday. "He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events."

In case you didn't know, the UK is going to be voting on leaving the EU soon and the Britain First! people are the ones who think the EU is filling the UK up with refugees who want to destroy their way of life. So essentially, yes.

I think I have some easy to implement gun control. You want a gun, then you need a gun license. We already have conceal carry license, so this would be an extension of that idea. Also, the gun license course would probably be something like the training courses police officers go through. For example, when an officer learns to use pepper spray, they are pepper sprayed in the face once to know how it feels. This will teach them the impact pepper spray can have so they know to responsibly use it. Similarly, civilians in a gun license course will be shot in the face once to know how it feels.

Obama did the exact same thing in 2008. In June no less. Read nothing more into it than "the DNC is shifting into general election mode" and the presidential race is their biggest task. https://www.theguardian.com/world/deadlineusa/2008/jun/05/obamateamjoiningupwiththe Efb
