Frequency is trending upwards.



Casualties are re also trending up.



We lead the world in this category too!

And right wingers think we should ignore these facts.

Since the Mexican citizens get their guns freely from America, that is a good question.

Are there any thoughts on why these shootings are happening or is the focus solely on stricter gun laws?

They stated developed world. I guess they do not consider Mexico a developed country. Nevertheless, the USA is right up there with places like Mexico and Venezuela.

I have walked at night in many European cities and always felt very safe over there. There is something wrong with the gun culture.

That's a travesty. We should close the border between our two countries to keep things like that from happening.

New Orleans is beloved and its renaissance is showcased in the news. The FBI reports the murder rate of New Orleans is declining, but it is nearly 4 times higher than all of Mexico and over 5 times higher than Mexico City.

Go back in a few years when all the middle eastern refugees have settled in.

It's not "right-wingers" who have caused this, but radical feminists who seek to deny and displace the responsible male from his role as head of his family and, once having accomplished that, try to raise their sons to be well-behaved little girls.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, reason and sensible balance prevail, but a small portion of twisted losers remains, and it's not something that can be remedied with more legislation and more bureaucracy.

So, are you stating that regular law abiding Mexican citizens are illegally purchasing guns from the US?

It's not that they believe Mexico is not part of the developed world, it's because it screws up the agenda they are pushing.

Where, specifically, do you walk at night in the US where you don't feel safe?
