This is an apparent murder-suicide. Among the dead: a 15-month-old girl. Once again, anger + gun = deaths.

Many of the recent mass shootings have claimed the lives of young children. Some gunmen are no longer particular about who they kill. It can be anyone in sight. Okay, Republicans, once again it's time to offer your "thoughts and prayers."

CNN today reported that Christopher Hasson had 15 guns and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition and intended to kill as many journalists and Democrats as possible. He was probably inspired by another white nationalist who continually attacks journalists and Democrats and says white nationalists are "fine people" -- and the "Make America Hate Again" movement continues to grow.

The attacks began around 1:40 pm Friday (New Zealand time), the day of the week when Muslims traditionally gather for prayer. As we in the United States are well aware, no place is safe from gun violence, not even churches, mosques and synagogues.

Wow, what a shocker! Our anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, white nationalist President who praises neo-Nazis as "fine people" says white nationalism is not a rising threat.

Trump on white nationalism: Not a rising threat
President Donald Trump says he does not see white nationalism as a rising threat around the world following an attack targeting Muslims in New Zealand that killed at least 49 people.

A white nationalist who referred to Muslim immigrants as an "invasion" shot and killed 49 people. Our white nationalist President said today he doesn't view white nationalism as a threat. He also referred to immigrants coming to our southern border as an "invasion." Not surprisingly, the gunman is a big admirer of our fear-mongering, immigrant-hating President.

In New Zealand, gun owners need a license but they aren't required to register their guns. That will likely change. Annually -- until Friday's massacre -- New Zealand had been averaging one gun death per every 100,000 people. In the US, the annual rate of gun deaths is 12 per every 100,000 people. Yikes!

ABC News quoted this open letter to Donald Trump from Nihad Awad, Executive Director of the Council On American-Islamic Relations: "During your Presidency and during your election campaign, Islamophobia took a sharp rise and attacks on innocent Muslims, innocent immigrants and mosques have skyrocketed. We hold you responsible for this growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the country and in Europe."

Trump's blindly loyal supporters see absolutely nothing inciteful or inflammatory in his racist, bigoted, hateful, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering, white nationalist rhetoric. The rest of us know the rhetoric is Trump's chief weapon in his "Make America hate again" campaign.

The death toll in the mosque attacks is now 50. The number of hate groups in the United States is at an all-time high. The number of hate crimes and terrorist attacks committed by white nationalists and right-wing extremists is increasing dramatically. Yet our white nationalist President doesn't see white nationalism as a threat. He probably will never consider it to be a threat unless his BFF Vladimir Putin tells him so.

Trump doesn't think white nationalism is a threat – but data says otherwise

Military-style semi-automatic weapons, assault rifles and high-capacity ammo magazines should also be banned in the United States -- but Congressional Republicans do the NRA's bidding and the NRA does not want any restrictions on gun ownership. Thus, we get Dylann Roof, Adam Lanza, Stephen Paddock, Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, James Holmes, George Hennard, Colin Ferguson, Ian Long, Robert Bowers, Omar Mateen, Syed Farook, Tashfeen Malik, Nidal Hasan, Jared Loughner, James Huberty, Devin Kelley, Jiverly Wong, Seung-hui Cho.......

Last May, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen donated $1 million to a new initiative that would enact tougher restrictions on the sale of semiautomatic weapons in Washington state. The gunman in yesterday's shooting in a Seattle neighborhood is a former Microsoft employee. He had a handgun, not a semiautomatic weapon -- but handguns are just as deadly.

A Phoenix man killed four people, including his wife and two children, in a shooting rampage that started as a domestic dispute over allegations of an affair, police said. The suspect, Austin Smith, 30, returned home from a bar Thursday night and confronted his wife over accusations that she had cheated on him, which she denied. He then killed his wife and two daughters at the family home and drove to the apartment of the man he believed she was having an affair with. There, he fatally shot the man and injured two others,
