The world over, mass shootings are frequently met with a common response: Officials impose new restrictions on gun ownership. Mass shootings become rarer. Homi...
I wonder how many ppl loaded up to go on a rampage.. but then remembered the local gun law.. and saw the error of their ways..
Some psychos can’t get a gun so the mow ppl down in cars..
Seems to be a mental health and zero value for life problem, more then a “hey, let’s disarm law abiding citizens” problem..

You guys wanna rip fully developed babies out of wombs will lecturing ppl about guns?

Literally last week.
The left. Protesting outside scotus’s houses for their right to kill kids.. now they upset about dead kids..

Can’t take America serious anymore

its easy to skew the statistics about gun crimes outside of the US when they conveniently exclude crimes that don't involve a firearm...

violent crimes in general, including knife/stabbing attacks have continuously been on the rise in countries where civilian gun ownership has been restricted; only it's ignored because it isn't as politicized nor publicized as often as gun crimes...
@wildbill83 So true. It's all hush hush when it comes to places like gun free Chicago being rampant with murder after murder with guns. What irony.

I was watching 'CBS this Morning' 6/22, news about the school board meeting in Uvalde last night. I think that what should be done is that Biden should address the country and issue the standing order "ENTER and Neutralize", so that there will never be a misunderstanding by anyone for any reason of what to do. And to also announce at that time that an official letter, hard copy as well as Email, will be sent to every Governor to be copied and sent to every school district in that state. The 'hardening' of schools, or in other words: Tighten your sphincter and grin and bear it. I do realize that $millions have been agreed on to help. "It always takes a crisis" It's like lighting a fuse to an explosive device and watching it burn and when it explodes 😱 WTH happened!
I'm pro-gun, but I think they should have background checks and mental health evaluations.
You can be pro-gun and want gun control. Most members of the NRA do.

They already have background checks. I don’t know if they have mental evaluations. @BohemianBabe
@Carissimi Technically they do, but there are so many cases where you can legally get a gun without a background check. The most well-known is the "gun show loophole" but there are plenty more. We need to make it so the only way to get a gun involves a background check.

I am scared of guns, and I don’t have one myself. However, I do believe in the 2nd Amendment, as I support the right of The People to bear arms against a tyrannical Government.

@Montanaman HELL YES!! I'd have been right in there, i heard and read today that a Mother, after being detained and then released went in and got her children,, i applaud her, and would have gone in blazing to do whatever necessary
Montanaman · M
@SilkandLace2 exactly 💯 👍👍
@Montanaman A mess. I read or heard on the news coverage that officers were told/ordered by a senior officer not to enter which gave me a WTF reaction. I don't recall which school shooting Columbine or Sandy Hook, that standard procedure after that shooting would be to enter and subdue. I also remember the Kent State University incident/massacre on May 4,1970 when the Ohio National Guard fired on student protesters killing 4 students and injuring 9 others. It was reported at the time that the students were loudly chanting, etc. and as they were nearing the NG the Senior officer yelled "Do not fire", but because of the noise some only heard the word "fire", which resulted later in changing the official command to "Stand Down." from then on. Something that simple would have saved lives. It seems that we do have a problem ether with who the senior officer in charge is or what standard procedure is. or both. 🤷‍♂️
