Full disclosure: I don't just support an assault weapon ban, but a total ban on even semi-automatics.

(13,069 posts)13. Did you hear what the shooter's dad said?
He gave a statement that apologized and he said it was not about religion, but rather a couple of months ago, his son became really angry after seeing two men kissing in public.
I am just so sick about this.
Ms. Yertle
(466 posts)14. Well--
I wonder if the son had become "really angry" if it wouldn't have been for religion.
Whatever happened to "live and let live?"
Evergreen Emerald
(13,069 posts)15. That is what my daughter said.
I think the dad was differentiating "terrorism" versus "hate crime."
