You fail to understand the problem because you don't think there's a problem. I succeeded in proving my point.

Really? The worst mass murder in US History? December 29, 1890, near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, 151 men, women, and children were slaughtered.
Why don't you include them? Isn't their skin white enough for the lefties?
No, no you didn't. I tried to be fair; I clicked on and read through each of your links. There's nothing you've provided that supports your statement that Florida's stand-your-ground law basically only works for whites.
No they are not. He was a mass murderer to be sure but he does not meet the legal definition of a terrorist. I suggest you educate yourself on that so as not to make this error again.
here is what you said:
"Of course this only really works for white people killing black people. I imagine a black person couldn't kill a white person under this law in practice."
So then, you have no evidence of this being true?
You stated the problem. You said the Florida stand your ground laws allow people to shoot other people because they are afraid of them. And you said that it only allows whites to shoot blacks.
You haven't proved either of these statements.
Whether or not I think your problem exists has nothing to do with you proving your statements.
No, there is always a problem when someone kills someone else. It is the resolution to the problem win which we disagree. Liberals like yourself always want to take freedoms from law abiding citizens in order to deal with problems. Conservatives find that our freedoms are far too important and are not willing to give them up because a few mishandle them.
We value freedom, you do not. Not in the same way we do. Know this, attempts to take it from us will always be met with ferocious refusal to give up ground.
Terrorism is defined as "the use of violence or threat of violence in the pursuit of political aims, religious, or ideological change."
So far we don't have any evidence to support a claim that his motive was for political, religious, or ideological change.
At this point we don't know why he did it. Other than he was insane.

We don't even really know that.
You are correct. That was merely my opinion. I am of the opinion that any mass murderer must, by definition, be insane.
Because the government, in whom FTW wants is to kneel before, did that massacre. So it don’t count.
JFYI:
Insanity. n. mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior.

Can a legally sane person be a mass murderer?

And I showed him a news report of this very thing happening, but the only "truth" he seems to be interested in is that he is right.

I don't mean to go off topic but, it looks like the NRA is going to agree on regulating "bumpstocks". I disagree. Thousands of law-abiding Americans own bumpstocks and, other than wasting a lot of ammunition, they're no problem. But a bumpstock can be made in a few hours on a little $150 3D printer.. So, banning bumpstocks won't keep such devices out of the hands of anyone, including murderers, anymore that the "war on drugs" has kept crack, heroin and cocaine from being trafficked by thugs and gangs.

There is a huge difference between the clinical definition of insanity and the legal definition of insanity. The legal definition only requires the person to know what he is doing is wrong.
Oh, .....then we are all insane.
Insanity is a concept discussed in court to help distinguish guilt from innocence. It's informed by mental health professionals, but the term today is primarily legal, not psychological. There's no "insane" diagnosis listed in the DSM.

Wouldn't the act of sneaking and concealing his gear seem to indicate this shooter knew he was doing wrong?
