    I guess if you are insecure about your Richard, then you buy an AR-15 or other gun substitute for your Richardness.  And depending on where you live you can sport your Richard in public.
    How far have we fallen as a society?  Polls will say quite a long way from core values such as patriotism, community and even religion.
    Edit: In a brief moment of clarity this evening, I acknowledge it is all about "self."  And when one has no self-esteem then the trip down the wrong road gains momentum.  Fortunately not many hit the bottom and then act out in violent ways, but more than zero with today's gun laws is too many.  Off mini soap-box.

    The red line is when the GOP allowed the assault weapons ban to sunset.

    It's as if letting any yahoo that wants a high power/caliber rifle and high capacity magazines might create a problem. Who da thunk it?!!?

    Not really a problem tho according to the GOP - all those innocent victims are just acceptable losses in worship of a greater cause.

    I was just thinking the same thing.  It's hard enough to talk to my daughter (teaches 3rd grade) after one of these and I don't have to explain anything to her.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    That's nuts! 

    Is there a graph for countries that foreigners seek medical procedures at a reduced rate but get kidnapped and killed? 

    That chart is seriously eye opening - And all pre pandemic. Maybe worse with pandemic numbers.

    Not really a problem tho according to the GOP - all those innocent victims are just acceptable losses in worship of a greater cause.

    Actually the AR ban made no difference. For one, this graph doesn't say what weapon was used. Second, the ARs didn't disappear during the ban. Third, this graph could be totally made up. 

    Again, I'll throw out a little fact that you snowflakes can chew on. The Virginia Tech shooter was able to kill 33 people and wound many others with a .22 pistol and a 9mm pistol. Not an AR or any other scary black rifle. Does that even register in your little snowflake brains? These two handguns are on the smaller end of the spectrum as far as guns go. 

    So, lets say you get the AR ban you have such a hard on for. Then what? Well? What's the next step....? OK, you say more laws....Well what law has ever stopped anyone that wants to break it? Oh, a registry you say...more background checks. Yeah, that will surely do it. Oh, wait. You mean most of the shooters already bought the guns legally after passing a check or what did you say? Oh, they stole them. Dang it. Don't they know stealing is against the law?

    So once again you wacked out libs don't have a clue on how to stop any of this. You are good at throwing guilt around and setting on a high horse but nothing of substance ever came from one of your thoughts.

    We see anytime a government official or government building is attacked they seem to have answers for that. Like more security, fences, metal detectors, armed guards...Yet, we ALWAYS get push back from you snowballs if we want the same for children that are setting ducks. No, we can't have a school look like a prison. We would rather **** and moan about a gun being the problem and never really do anything to help. But keep up the good work......


    Yes, you are right.

    "soft targets"... 9 year old kids. Seems like you have it all figured out.  

    Have your buddies already told you where the next one is going down @wildthing?

    I've posted earlier about New Zealand being an example of how a conscientious polity can do something to impact gun violence, but here's a reminder.

    Apparently, in the US, enjoying your freedumb involves making conditions ripe for killing our children and citizens.

    The gun rights movement really boils down to creating enough distrust of government (run by deep state george soros blood drinking evil libtards) to convince people that if they don't have weapons, they're defenseless against it and it's out to get everyone's guns so it can control the people.

    All this is wrapped around a solution of authoritarianism.   Look at all the authoritarian countries out there.  They suck.

    A move forward.
    This from TN:
    "Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, signed an executive order on Tuesday aimed at streamlining and optimizing background checks for gun purchases in the state. The move comes two weeks after a 28-year-old shooter legally purchased seven firearms and killed three adults and three children at a private school in Nashville." Tennessee governor who lost friends in Nashville shooting strengthens background checks. "Lee's announcement comes a day after a shooter opened fire at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky, killing five people, including a 'very close friend' of Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear."

    Takes a few personal friends to get killed before most any republican pushes gun control.  

    It’s a tragedy/miracle
