That’s a ridiculous assertion, for a start, 19 States don’t have the death penalty.

There were 23 Executions in US in 2017.

13 White.
8 Black.
2 Hispanic.

In 2016, there was 20 Executions.

16 White
2 Black
2 Hispanic.

That’s why your assertion of more blacks being executed, is ridiculous. But facts has never really been your strong point, has it Mr K?

Trying to insert some racist agenda in the justice system, is a bit low even for you, especially when it’s not the case as the above numbers actually show.

No that’s my view. I don’t copy any body’s view. I don’t agree with guns at all, that’s not an NRA talking point is it?

So you mention controls...

..Such as ?

Trumps considered...

Bump stocks getting banned.
Age restrictions.
Realistic and stronger mental health background checks.

Acting on known intel. So many things were ignored about Nikolas Cruz, it was a totally preventable this attack.
