When will it be the time?

After the recent shooting in Boulder the pro-gun groups have said now is not the time to talk about reforms, so as an outsider looking in Americans when will be the time and why?

The culture around guns in America fascinates me I am curious to where you stand and why I know this is a polarising subject so please try and be respectful to others views.

Guns are a tool, or a hobby. You can kill a person with a hammer or a car, but no one is going to outlaw those things. It's not a 'weapon' problem. It's a human problem. Fat cat stuff shirts need to keep their hands off the 2nd amendment. Healthy people need to have a weapon at hand more than ever, being as the US is becoming a sanctuary country. Crime rates will continue to rise at least another 60%.....probably higher than that.

@puck61 You started off well then finished by spreading the fear and hate and othering that leads to this kind of crime. And nice job playing fortune teller with your made up crime statistic.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow San Francisco crime rates rose 60% when they introduced their 'sanctuary city' policy. Everything the left touches turns to sewage and pestilence. Anyone can look at blue cities and see for themselves.

@puck61 Again, back it up or shut up. And correlation is not causation. Decades of studies across multiple countries prove that immigration (regardless of legal technicalities) improves communities and causes drops in crime.

Also blue cities are all major cities with more people so yeah NYC and Chicago are going to have more crime then armpit Wyoming with 20 people. Think a little.

@puck61 Oh and the state with the highest gun mortality rate is Louisiania so try again.

@puck61 Here is an article that blows up this bullshit meme with actual facts and statistics.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow That is just Darwinism at work. Consider the demographic. Everything the left touches rots. The evidence is overwhelming and available for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Using the internet to bolster leftist ideology is like using the Harry Potter series to prove that magic and sorcery are real. Videos can't lie as well as statistics snatched from thin air.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Using the internet to support leftist filth is like asking a barber if people need to cut their hair!~

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@puck61 Nope. I am using actual facts and statistics which is better then your unsupported fearmongering and ranting. You are the one obsessed with ideology. I am sorry the facts don't support yours. Perhaps someone can find you a safe space.

You're only going to end up apologising again dear!!

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@puck61 Once you account for cities with smaller populations you end up with such liberal bastions (sarcasm) as Memphis, TN at the top.

@Harriet03 I don't need to apologize for speaking the truth. My apology was for some 'over the top' insults, and predictions that sounded too much like veiled threats. I am not going to fake stupidity to try and placate anyone.

I find it amusing that people keep quoting the Washington Post as if it were gospel truth when things like this happen https://thehill.com/homenews/media/543271-wapost-adds-lengthy-correction-to-story-on-trump-georgia-call
Whoops. Resounding crickets from the Communists, er I mean the Left. @puck61

puck61

@stratosranger They have 'selective critical thinking'. We are in for a bumpy ride until the atrocities of the left shock people back to their senses.

stratosranger · M

Aka “selective common sense” as well. But of course the word common is probably sexist, racist, misogynistic or some crap. @puck61

puck61

@stratosranger Yeah! I just learned that car shows are expressions of toxic masculinity. I despise leftist ideology, but they 'do' get a chuckle out of me virtually every day.

puck61

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You are using a barber to prove that hair cuts are necessary.

This is biggest outright lie I have heard in a very long time! US citizens get their noses rubbed in the unprecedented and disproportionate violence in blue cities every single day!

PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M

@puck61 Lol. Right....the statistics branch of the FBI is out to offend you personally.

Again all you offer is your feelings not facts.

puck61

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The FBI is just as corrupt as the swamp itself! [b]It is the swamp! [/b] Etch a sketch, dude.
