In regard to shooting children... Some interesting stats ...

@Vivaci actually, the nra only received an amount 18.5 million total last year and that number is usually is no more than 25 million a year. By the way, no one in the NRA is committing these shootings.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood and Big Pharma took in, from political parties and other donations, a combined total of about $700 MILLION dollars.

That 1% for people who defended themselves with a gun during a violent crime is way off. Between 500,000 to 2,000,000 defensive uses of firearms are reported each year.

That 950 school shootings number is misleading. You gotta look at how they're defining "school shooting" and what actually happened during that event. Most of the time, it's nothing more than someone fired a gun, hitting no one, on school property or someone had a gun on school property. It shouldn't be happening, yes, but don't be mislead by a headline.

There are 400 million guns in this country, legally purchased. If there was a gun problem the way politicians put it, you'd know about it.

None of these shootings, school or otherwise, are being committed by the gun lobby, or anyone who is a responsible gun owner. I'm sorry but no. They're being carried out by people who are either on drugs, legal or illegal, or by people who just wanna have their names be remembered.

Notice that none of the school shootings that have taken place at schools where the elites send their kids to school. They seem to be able to find funding to pay for their kids to go to schools with armed security, but when it comes to even suggesting that we have those same kinds of guards at public schools, they're the first ones to scream NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT, WE CANT EVEN THINK OF PUTTING KIDS THROUGH THAT CONVERSATION AS TO WHY THEY NEED ARMED GUARDS AT SCHOOL. We can't get enough democrats to vote YES for that kind of legislation, because the Republicans are voting for it. So who really doesn't want to protect the every day non elite kids?

Less than 50 people were killed by rifles, any kind of rifle, the last 3 years. More people were killed by hands, feet, and fists than were by rifles. The vast majority of the gun homicides that happen in this country are committed by handguns. The vast majority of those murders are inner city gang on gang violence, but we can't talk about that for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@OggggO Am I wrong?

@MrBrownstone Get back to me when you stop being an inane broken record.

@OggggO Am I wrong?

@Carazaa Seriously? Saw nothing on that. 😑

@Carazaa Thanks! I'll check it. Horrible horrible stuff.

@MommyLucy talk about tyranny of the minority.

@Changeisgonnacome I wish I had the courage to speak up cause our gun laws are awful! 😭😭😭 Unfortunately my grandparents who are still alive love the 2nd amendment and I am very close to them and I know several 2nd amendment lovers so I say nothing not to offend them! 🙄🙄🙄 If they knew what I really think of guns they would be mad! 😘😘😘

@MommyLucy my Dad has a lot of guns. Three thousand miles is a good buffer zone.

@walabby thanks for the research...i think it's one of those oft quoted benefits that doesn't stand up to analysis

@ozgirl512 it doesn't get press. Google is no good.

@jimjim1969 we will fix it soon

@Changeisgonnacome so, no armed cops, no armed citizens...what is your projected death rate?

@zerofuks2give [quote] Guns even the playing field for women and the elderly against stronger or multiple attackers.[/quote]
Is this true in practice? Or just something that would be true under perfect conditions of preparedness and training?

@ninalanyon lies are as good as a nod or a wink.

@Dlrannie Another dumbfuck trump arse licker ☹😘😘😘

@Dlrannie More people die from gunshots in the US than some countries at War but Ted has to make up some verbal diarrhea about doors rather than admit he takes money from gun lobbyists. The money is more important than the 10 year old children.

@MasterLee Are you sure? It depends on the wound and the person's survival rate. Plus, how frequent stabbing cases ever recorded? Even highest at certain country..

@iamelijah yes I am completely sure.

However, if you get run over with an automobile the survival rate is much less.

Malpractice in surgery is a whole other world of statistics.

Axes tend to be bad as well.

Disease, cancer, heart attacks, wow.

There are lies and there are lies but no one can lie better than with statistics.

@MasterLee Okay then.

@SW-User yes please avoid it

@SW-User It has some problems, that's for sure. It is a "melting pot" though but people have to work together solving these problems. Increasing the age to 25 and outlawing assault weapons and doing a background check will help.

@Grateful4you it is....

@MrBrownstone That’s beautiful.

@Human1000 no doubt that will be the answer some recommend
