@MarmeeMarch Why permit them to get the gun in the first place? Kind of like closing the barn door after the horse escapes, no?

@SW-User This is the same country that had its own system of American apartheid when I was a child. Anyone who [b]ever[/b] saw it as a model for human rights was woefully ignorant about the realities here.

@bijouxbroussard I agree. Still we keep lecturing other countries about human rights and put our head everywhere where is not required. Most of the human rights activism that we support is a cover for some oppression. When an intervention is very much required we are either helpless or our intervention doesn't very well fit into the scheme of the propagandists.
It is good to remind ourselves that we are a nation that stands on top of the dead bodies of many native Americans.

@Soossie And who do you think was behind that shooting in Las Vegas? Not one man that’s for damned sure.

@kodiac Just follow what other first world countries did? It's not that the U.S. would be the first country to regulate guns, at all...

@Elessar Seriously. Pick ANY other country and do what they do.

@Harmonium1923 It's probably the laziest argumentum I've ever heard for defending the status quo, lol

@SW-User The entire world looks to the United States. They take their cues from us, and they take their hope from us. In six months, we hope to ameliorate this situation. We have a system of checks and balances in our government, and hopefully, they will be strong enough to overcome the present sad state of the nation.

@RogueLoner I was re-reading some of my early posts, and was reminded of the CIA's involvement with the mainstream media. In 1950, the CIA formed a link with the media. They PROVIDE our media with the news stories they wish to run.

@spjennifer my point here is he was there to kill, and would be any means.

@Iwillwait Agreed but would he have had the ability to kill so many in such a short time span without access to an AR15?

@spjennifer I agree, it's sad.

@Harriet03 ironically sad, but true.

@Harriet03 Watch as the story evolves and the psycopathic character of this person comes out to have been seen and ignored or downplayed. Such comments are already starting to surface.

A guy in Wisconsin drove a vehicle through a parade of people, killing several. An internet search the right fertilizer and some diesel fuel (Oklahoma City) and you can take out a big portion of a school. Bombings are more common elsewhere than here in the U.S. for mass killings and can be far more deadly.

I've got no issue with some additional restrictions on gun ownership, but they won't solve this alone. We need better intervention processes and mental health treatment here as well. We need people calling police to report dangerous behavior rather than brushing it off, allowing someone with mental health issues to spiral like [b]all[/b] of these mass shooters have been shown to have done. I'm sure there are other factors as well.

@Harriet03 Fascinating, isn’t it ? And [b]none[/b] of them get the irony.

@Barefooter25 Oh, and now you're doing the whatabout shit. Are you just going to go down the line of cliches today?

@Barefooter25 Those homicides are part of the same problem, with largely similar solutions. Urban violence is often related to poverty, which many people, including myself, support reducing through social programs.

@Barefooter25 biden has never been on the correct side of any legislation

@Zaphod42 Trump isn't worth even a single toe of the original Julius, just saying 😅 one led an army fighting in the frontline himself, the other got himself exonerated with "bone spurs"..

@JaggedLittlePill It is a pity that he seems like powerless.

@SW-User Seems like you don't know who actually writes laws in the US. [b]SAD!![/b]

@PatKirby I like to say you wouldn't trust this guy to cook his own dinner, but he's running the country???? 😳😂

@SumKindaMunster
Exactly, he's the type to leave the stove on, leave his brain off then leave the house. I do give him credit though, he left a dim light on upstairs but there's clearly no one home.

@Graylight Which is particularly ironic since they [b]also[/b] sacrificed [b]women’s[/b] freedoms supposedly in the name of "life". Make sure that unwanted children are born—so that wanted children can be murdered in their classrooms

@Stillwaiting This particular shooter had just shot his own grandmother in the face. She is actually still alive, in serious condition at the moment, and it would be wondrous if she survived and could tell us why he shot HER. That would give us some insight.

@4meAndyou I'm well aware and agree.

@windinhishair well no one knows more than you🤷‍♂️

@Virgo79 Most Republicans are cowards inside, which is why they need weapons to feel safe leaving their safe space at home.

@windinhishair most wind bags hide behind their keyboard and call everyone else a coward

@Graylight My head isnt in the clouds like so many. Life must be so simple for you. Just keep following the 🐑 you’ll b lead far....SMH...

@WhisperingAngel My belief system -you know, the one you claim to understand - is more esoteric and eclectic then I could even explain to your mind. You are a sheep, blindly listening to and accepting claims wholly without evidence. And you use those claims to give yourself eternal salvation. How convenient.

@Graylight The beauty of living in America...freedom of speech....the beauty of SW we all have an opinion.

@senghenydd Do you honestly think that if you had guns, you could actively intimidate your government with them? That's the dumbest thing I've heard all night.

@Zonuss I see. So if you ignore all the data and statistics collected in the US and around the world, and rely on individual stories instead, you can conclude that not only that all the vaccines don't work, but they are really killing people en masse. Fascinating.

So have the mass deaths been happening all along and no one has been tracking them, or are they still coming at some distant future date?

@windinhishair The data is false. Ive seen enough evidence of that myself in the [b]real world.[/b] But of course we know people like you dont live a real life to begin with. 🙂

@Zonuss All of the data worldwide is false, because you have.......stories! So bet your life on an anecdote or two and deny the reality around you.

You still haven't told me when the mass deaths from the vaccines will kick in, or if they already have.

@LordShadowfire The more you know....
