    Innerancy is much more complex than that, it go from "Nothing in the bible is a lie" to "Everything is what god wished to be written"
    So it's much more "Infaillible" than "direct" in its essence. And it's not widely believed.

    I just dont understand why people are trying so hard to deny THE major difference between Islam and Christianity.
    At its core, it's even one of Islam founding principle, they recognize Jesus as the son of god, but consider the bible to be "falsified" and thus claim to offer a proper "update" with the direct, unaltered word of god.

    How does a thorough background search keep guns from good people? And lets be honest, any good person has the ability to make bad decisions whether out of fear, anger, paranoia, or hate.

    No, under current federal laws, he shouldn't have been flagged. His criminal record was clean. Like I said, the system needs to be much more comprehensive.

    It comes with the position, it comes with the responsibility of that position that the President must always be politically correct. Without any exception.
    Diplomatic fallout must be avoided, at all times.
    I disagree with this. , we have become more about Politically correctness ... without exception than common sense.

    Which pretty much makes it impossible to stop evil people from being evil.

    Unless we progress to Minority Report levels of retardation and science, so it was and so it will forever be.

    However, people look at mental health in other countries, bad people could have done some troubling things in the past, etc.

    It seems to work elsewhere.

    There is absolutely no way for me to interpret this as "it is easier to survive a mass stabbing than a mass shooting." That literally says that you think it is easier to survive being stabbed than being shot, which according to the study I provided is incorrect.

    I will not try to argue that it is easier to survive a mass shooting or a mass stabbing because I don't have data available for that, but I know a majority of shooting victims in mass shootings generally survive. Again, like in this exact case.

    If cars are so effective at killing people, why don't murderers buy cars? How come we have so many mass shootings and not very many people mass ramming others with their cars?

    I agree our mental health system is fucking stupid. However we start talking about that then the claims of "deflection" from guns start sprouting.

    lol, my only gripe is every thread i've seen has been about the warcraft movie, where's the variety? The Overwatch forums can't go a couple hours without someone shit posting "overwatch needs more <minority> characters, blizz racist" and watch the thread vacuum everyone in.
