Death to the NRA won't stop gun violence in the USA. Amazingly, my country has more guns than people. Not everyone has a gun though. At least not working ones.

 

[ozonetrooper]

Remember, guns don't kill people

PEOPLE kill people !

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I'm beyond over gun violence. A woman got shot in the head and died less than a block from my Aunt's house last week. A family got killed one street over from me a few years ago. An entire family including the baby. And yet I remain unarmed.

 

[ozonetrooper]

And of the three incidents you bring up, how many involved the gun shooting by itself ?

It is just a tool, not unlike any other tool, it is the human factor that makes it evil !

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I thought that was clear from your last post.
People kill people. No tools needed.

 

[ozonetrooper]

It is clear to me and appears to be clear to you, others I am not so sure about ...

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Why has it been quite lately?
The woman shot in the head in Boston doesn't count?

 

[ozonetrooper]

They/We all count !

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Gun violence seems to have deflated in the US. We beat last year in Boston MA but around the nation? Way down.
Hope it maintains through 2021.

its an opinion piece so for me it holds no merits about taking your guns away. it talks about some good policies though. like holding

Guns don't kill people, rappers do.

rappers don't kill people.....its your ears that do

Google John Lot and his "opinion" pieces, along with his recognized literature and background.

You may be surprised.

"good guy with a gun" what a crock of shit......LOL

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mikedt]

I'm happy I've never lived to live in a place where guns are prevalent. Nearest I got to it was working in Manchester in the mid-90s.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

The instructor was a good patsy for the interviewers lame humor ....

The best defense for a bad guy with a gun is any honest, law abiding, armed citizen ...

I was at the Walmart in El Paseo where the shooting happened about a year later. Didn't realize it was that Walmart till a bunch of drivers were talking about delivering loads and stuff
Also been within a mile or two of the sandy hook school shooting.

 

[ocnbrze]

Just sad what happened in Texas today.

How many more of these school shootings do we have to endure before we do something about it?

 

[Davdi]

What about the USA adopting UK style gun control?

 

[ozonetrooper]

Are not schools designated gun free zones ?

Maybe we need more useless gun control laws that do not deter criminal/mentally unstable people and their actions, and only affect the law abiding citizens.

What the US needs to do is enforce the laws that are already on the books.
Chicago, with some of the toughest gun laws in the country, have had 224 killed, so far, in 2022.

Íts a novel idea, but why not keep people that are charged with homicide in jail, until trial, rather than letting them out to kill again.

It's a true statement that when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.
These mass shootings aren't being done by lawful gun owners.

 

[ocnbrze]

but the guns were bought legally.....so this douche bag of a human was a legal gun owner. we need tougher laws to prevent kids from buying such guns. and i do agree that we need to also focus on mental health as well.

Chicago, Chicago, It's NOT my kind of town.

Frank Sinatra's opinion may differ.
