Before discussion with KLAMarine begins once again, I brought the bingo to you guys already.

Don't mean to ruin your fun or anything but you're not supposed to allow me to see this. Now I can actively avoid them, not that I would have resorted to most of these... You're in for a boring bingo game I'm afraid.

I do have to point some out as I find them to be potentially valid points: "criminals don't obey laws" and "when seconds count, police are minutes away". Is something untrue about these two?

"When seconds count, the police are minutes away" is the only one that strikes me as a valid argument. [sarcasm] Which explains exactly why you need to have a semi-automatic instead of just a normal hand gun. It also explains why the NRA opposes the sale of smart guns that recognize their owner's fingerprints and accordingly only fire when the actual owner pull the trigger. [/sarcasm]

The fact is that gun violence does, in fact, drop off starkly when stricter gun laws are in place.

Well their are cases that are overblown, you can literally have at the same time a police officer shooting a black guy and killing him and a police officer shooting a white guy and also killing him.  The first police officer will be called racist and we get a rise in 'black lives matter' while we will not see the same effect with the white 'victim'.  

but in the case of texas everything points to a man who seemed to be a white nationalist who wanted to kill and shoot non whites, if all the points are confirmed you can only speak about a white nationlist terrorist attack.  The fear of white domestic grown up supremacists terrorists is growing. 

The second shootings seems clear to a non terrorist attack because he wasn't aiming at a certain group of people but rather a place so the colour of the shooter doesn't seems to matter.

All three sound perfectly reasonable. The devil is in the details.

Well if I was defending myself against someone else with a gun, I'm going to want as much in my favor as possible. If someone comes at me with a semi-automatic, I don't want to be stuck with a normal hand gun. I'd go for what gives me the greatest chance of success/survival and that would mean the most power money can offer.

Do we know why the Texas shooting occurred? Is there a manifesto somewhere?

That's why I said 'if all the points are confirmed'

The suspect is believed to be the author of a text posted on 8chan, an online message board frequently used by the far right, which describes a "cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion", alluding to Hispanic people in the US.

The four-page document, reportedly posted some 20 minutes before police received the first emergency call, also expresses support for the gunman who killed 51 people in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.

These things sound pretty reasonable if it can decrease mass shootings. The third one could be abused though. 

By THAT logic, maybe we should just legalize the private sale of rocket launchers. I mean why be stuck with mere assault weapons when you can cover the basis? So you might blow up your home in the process of defending it. So a dozen other people might be killed by your hypothetical act of self-defense. Sacrifices have to be made!

Over 90% of Americans support Universal Background Checks. Why then do our Republican politicians consistently vote against Universal Background Checks? Why then did our President vow to veto a Universal Background Check bill if it was passed by the Senate?

Raise the age for any firearm to 25? Seems like kids are behind most of these attacks. Maybe by 25 they won't be so crazy?
