Some of Hollywood’s most politically active and vocal figures reacted to the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, on Saturday by blaming Republicans and President Donald Trump and calling on Congress to pass more laws restricting the Second Amendment right of law-abiding gun owners.
“I’m sick of: ‘my thoughts and prayers’ they do nothing to stop the slaughter of innocent Americans at work and play. We need to have gun control now!! Not one more life should be lost to senseless preventable gun shootings!” actor John Leguizamo said.
“I blame trump! His hate speech is triggering all this violence against Latinx in America! Shameful and horrorful!” the John Wick actor later added.

Oh, a John Wick actor? I told my husband and he said that that movie is a very violent movie. That actor is probably more to blame than anyone else... IF you are going to blame someone other than the person who actually did it. WE NEED MOVIE CONTROL! Ban violent movies!!! (Just sayin'.)

I would not put it past the liberals to instigate, or even manufacture these mass shootings to promote their gun control.
Check the background of these people. Their past politics, their families, their psychologists. I'm willing to bet you will dig up a liberal.
All the mass shootings in the world won't equal the hell we will endure if we give up our personal weapons in return for the 'protection' of the state.

If they want to blame Trump for this then it's only fair to blame Obama for Sandy Hook.

There were shootings when the Kenyan was around. I didn't see any of these cockroaches crawl out from under the cabinet then. With Democrats stuffing the country with criminal illegals (once they violate the border there is no difference) and Congressional RINOs tongue tied in front of the Chamber of Commerce, the rage and frustration in the country is rising. It is going to snap and innocent people are going to get hurt. How to prevent the next one? It is not a cure all but solving the immigration deadlock is one option.

The courts must accept the blame as President Trump is trying to manage the influx of migrants and the courts block what he proposes. Congress cannot find a way to manage migrants either. President Trump is trying to handle this.

Tedious, typical and false. Like all of their deranged accusations. Besides that, the shooter is a registered Democrat. Does that make it Pelosi’s fault?

The shooter is at fault, of course. Millions have whatever-problems-he-has and do not shoot/bludgeon/hack/explode crowds of innocent people. Many of the Dem prattlers are living off at least some royalties from violet movies----a la Robert De Niro and Deer Hunter, Godfather, etc.----or are married to someone who is. Let them set an example by refusing the royalties, or have the payment go directly to charity. And then follow up by refusing to act in violent productions and refusing to sing violent and degrading songs. These, like the tree huggers with the huge planes and yachts and mansions, are hypocrites. Putting them so insanely out of joint is the realization that Hollywood/NYC/DC blatherers are not as influential with the voting public as they imagined. BTW, just put me in the I'm Not Listening category.

The shooter is probably a fan of Antifa. How many more like him will emerge, while democrat politicians tolerate Antifa's thugs- which they think helps the democrat politics?

Hollywood is to blame. They keep making violent movies for entertainment. The most violent characters are often emulated by young men. These young men who are already mentally ill watch them and think they can do it too. Our society kicked God out of schools and public places and called anyone who is against the Democrats a racist white supremist. They make fun of Christians and support Muslim extremists. Our society is sick and needs healing. President Trump is trying without the help of Progressive Democrats. May God bless him and keep him safe and in office.

No more armed bodyguards for hollywood celebrities and no more guns in movies, cartoons or video games. Oh, and TV will not be allowed to run any old movie that shows a gun. Elmer Fudd will be prevented from hunting wabbits. Sound ridiculous? So does confiscation of my guns.

Take a look at the last John Wick movie and then tell me who is to blame for promoting violence.

America's mental health crisis is well-publicized. The President has spoken about the worsening crisis several times. Yet, the msm and the left chooses to ignore the President's pleas to address the crisis and continue to blame the President because it is more politically convenient to do so.
In reality, over-population and societal decay in the urban areas may be fueling the aggressive behavior of a would-be shooter. I researched several animal studies that all concluded over-population or over-crowding manifests the behaviors that a shooter exhibits in order to carry out evil outcomes such as a mass shooting. Unfortunately, I don't have the link anymore. But, the studies concluded that over-crowding triggers overpowering and suicidal behaviors which are more prevalent in those with homosexual tendencies. Also true in humans?

If people want to pass blame, first look at the violent films produced by Hollywood. Robert De Niro, the foul mouth Hollywood hypocrite ( I prefer to call him something else that starts with the letter A) just come out with another Good Fellas type of movie, called The Irishman. Even more than films, look at the killing games of war played on the computer 24-7 by children, especially boys.
Young boys are being raised without role models, supervision and discipline. When killing sprees occupy the majority of their consciousness what can we expect. How about we start with finding a solutions to restrict violent computer Games. Although, that may be impossible.
We certainly have a problem in our culture. The incident in El Paso should not surprise with the amount of drugs, human trafficking and gangs that pass through there everyday. It's right across the river from infamous Juarez Mexico.
The Left has done a good job of stirring up tensions with their false accusations about concentration camps, drinking toilet water and children in cages. Especially when they are responsible for denying proper help and resources there. Remember the manufactured crisis talking points! If the Left wants to point their finger, take a look in the mirror.
That includes Miss do-gooder Marianne Williamson.
President Trump has an opportunity to be above political innuendo and proactively look for solutions. This won't be easy but I'm confident if anyone can do something, he will.

If violent Hollywood movies and ultra violent video games did not exist, mentally unstable young people would never be tutored to commit these mass shootings to attain very misplaced glory and hero status among those wayward social groups who stay in contact, even internationally, on the dark web. Remember the people who are creating and investing in, and who are making a lot of money off those movies and videos are mostly always people who are leftists and liberals when it comes to politics. Today those are huge and lucrative industries, and the people who are making big money out of them are going to do everything possible to deflect all blame, politically and otherwise.

Just what form of gun control do you think will work, jerk? Chicago, Baltimore and NY have fun control. Does it stop the killings there?

The idiots in Hollyweird are never worth paying the slightest attention to.
The good news is that I have no idea who most of them even are, since I intentionally avoid most TV and most movies. There is at least one generation, perhaps two of Hollyweird "stars" that I have no idea who they are, wouldn't reconginize them or their names if we met. I'm happy with this state of affairs.

Keep de-valuing human life and see the results. (abortion and infanticide)
