Yeah, well, Ivanka's an idiot. All she had to do was copy from a
newspaper article.

This is true. Since when does big city shootings that aren't terrorism
nor hate crimes attract national attention?

Congress might do something to halt the illegal interstate sale of guns
that these criminals have been using. Do you think cracking down on
criminal gun sales might reduce the number of shootings, Rich? The kid
in Dayton didn't buy his gun illegally, but that's still not a typical
shooting.

Do you actually care, Rich, or are you just annoying me like Johnston?

Because people, especially you, grew numb to such stories decades ago.

But terrorism is scary and hate crimes result in tons of hang wringing.

You don't give a fuck about these murders and shootings, Rich.

Chicago isn't even in the top twenty of shooting per capita. Or
homicides for that matter. How does that shithole Toronto compare?

Only because some Podunk town with 100 residents had two murders
in one year. Meanwhile, the city of Chicago with its draconian gun laws
has more murders per year then the entire state of Indiana, which has
some of the most liberal gun laws in the U.S.

I'm mildly surprised they didn't try to blame her for the shootings.
