Cause and effect, cause and effect. It's not rocket science to anyone other than.......

Do you have such a method?
I was asking theoretically. If culture is our problem, should we be looking at ourselves and our society instead of the guns?

If there was more armed people, how many of those 26 would have been saved?

The problem isnt too many guns, its WHO HAS THEM...

Convenient tracker here.



Why restrict good gun owners?
307 in 309 days only with the help of a thesaurus and creative statistics.


Dems hate and fear mongering campaign continues. The free press is free of ethics as they detail each crime in excrucirtaing detail as if to provide instructions for th e next wack job. They claim 'records' were achieved with the number killed as if challenging the next wack job.


Violence is a far more complex issue than the bumper sticker solutions offerred.


Trump's attempt to vet immigrants is met with derision and court challenges and claims his efforts would not have prevented terrorists like the latest guy in NY. the same people then propose gun laws that would have had zero imact on the latest or previous shootings and say it is a good thing. No wonder places like chicago are perennial killing fields.


then we have a president who lied about places with strict guns laws having the least amount of violence. Obama joins Colorado's diane degette and CA sen Yee as blathering idots who are willing to sacrifice lives today, in order to eventually ban all guns. At least anti gun activist Yee is behind bars for selling rocket launchers and auto weapons to anyone with cash.


Complex problems solved with bumper sticker slogans and redefining terminology bought to you by the democrats hate and fear mongering campaign to forward a political agenda.

If you pull out a gun to shoot someone.. you should be shot.. period..

And when criminals know they will be shot, maybe crime will fall.

Cops dont even investigate things like home burglaries anymore. they just file reports and off they go. If police actually caught the criminals to begin with, then maybe crime wouldnt escalate. If they were shot dead, then they wont be bothering others again.. I've got no problem killing people who wish to harm others.. period

Exactly.. We have a society where people expect no ramifications for their actions until its too late. We have households with single parents raising children who are raising themselves because parents are out working, or even worse, partying and drinking. Giving their kids drugs because its "cool" and they are gonna get them anyways..

Society as a whole is failing our children, its no wonder we are the way we are.

Because I just did a little experiment by walking into a gun store and I was not tempted to pick one up and start killing.

Maybe that's because you're rational and sane?
