Quote:Just because he has been to a couple of countries doesn't mean that he has experienced a variety of cultures.  I have.  How I got to travel to so many places is irrelevant.

 

 

At times and in some places, yes, and that doesn't go for just Europe, the same could be said about Africa, The Middle East, South America and some parts of The Caribbean.

 

 

I hate to correct you, and I might be wrong on this, but I believe that the perp in this incident was given the gun as a gift from his father (at least that is what I read in initial reports).  I don't believe that he actually purchased the weapon himself.

 

It doesn't change my opinion at all regarding your point, that being that we don't need more laws and those on the far left would like to eventually take guns away from everyone.  The evidence is clear on those points.

 

According to an interview his father did with local media in Charleston, he said that he did not buy a gun for his son.  Nor did he provide the money to buy it.  According to his father, the shooter purchased the gun with his own money.

 

This was confirmed later by his son when he confessed to buying the gun used from a local dealer. 

 

CNN / Slate confirmed this.

 

I do find it quite interesting how the truth about how he acquired the gun, which was known within a couple of days of the shooting, hasn't been more widely distributed in the media.
