Arguing about the number of mass shootings or what even defines a mass shooting seems pointless to me. It seems like we should be able to agree that too damn many people get shot by CRIMINALS and then debate from there. But maybe I'm just naive.
There! I FIXED it for you!
Now, let's talk...why is the left all for providing sanctuaries for CRIMINALS? The FBI says between 80-90% of felonies are committed by prior felons...why does the left do whatever they can to keep them out on the street instead of in jail or death penalty? It seems logical that removing the CRIMINAL from society would immediately reduce crime by 80-90%. But NO....you like the criminals, just not their tools!
BTW look at how the UK and other gun-controlled places are now focussed on knives...I guess they weren't smart enough to realize that it's the criminal and not the tool...You can ban yourself blue in the face but it won't stop murder...just ask Cain and Able...
Most of America has no shootings at all much less "mass shootings" by any definition, in fact over half of America has a murder rate of zero. More than 2/3 of all murders happen in 5% of counties, more than 50% in just 2% of counties, while 100% of counties have law abiding citizens with guns in them. Of course liberals aren't honest enough to look at what those 5%, or the areas within those 5% where the shootings happen, have in common because they don't want to stop shootings or reduce crime, they want to ban guns, period regardless of the cost.
The left really doesn't want to admit that a US murder rate map looks almost exactly like the map of who voted for Hillary.
No really, where are they? I get that they're not at a school or at church or a posted gun-free zone and that's why those places are targeted.
Not in your gun free zones, it's not that hard to figure out, is it? Virtually all of your mass shootings happen in your "gun free zones" where a good guy with a gun by definition can't be armed. Congratulations on making sure there are plenty of unarmed victims.
Most people who carry realize that guns and alcohol don't mix and therefore don't carry in a bar.
It was an all ages show, so to me that means no alcohol would be served. Secondly a cop, who I would guess should be the epitome of a responsible gun owner, should be able to go to a bar, have a drink or two, then depart. If he/she was to go to a bar armed, then get plastered, I guess they would not be a responsible gun owner. Again, my cousins always carried because they lived in small towns and everyone knew them.
What's the expenditure on the local police, state police, prisons, the FBI, NSA, ATF, the courts, the Justice Dept.? If all these mass shootings are taking place? Why do we need to spend so much on them if they do nothing to protect us, apparently?
I know the suggestion of cutting spending froze your marrow to the bone, heh heh.
