That’s a question Democrats refuse to answer.

They know deep down that daily inner city gun violence is carried out by those with illegal firearms.

Democrats have zero plans on how to prevent inner city gun violence in their districts, because those criminals don’t use background checks

The AR-15 especially is the gun because you can mow down so many more people.

Australia hasnt had a mass shooting since their ban

And China doesn't have the problem of contested elections.

What's your point?




"Of the 97 countries where we identified mass public shootings, the U.S. ranks 64th per capita in its rate of attacks and 65th in fatalities. Major European countries, such as Norway, Finland, France, Switzerland and Russia, all have at least 25 percent higher per capita murder rates from mass public shootings."

BTW I searched several news articles and none confirm which firearm was used, but like I said if that guy had used a shotgun the outcome would have been the same

So I love how someone who is not advocating for gun control -- still gets attacked for suggesting we need to do something. I don't support bans, I don't know about specific controls...but I want something to happen.

That's the line in the sand. We can't even talk about gun violence in this country.

Well, if he has no felony's and is a citizen there's not much they can do. You cannot weed out every nut.

There might have been a stomach for such a thing a few years ago. I don't suspect anyone will be giving up their guns any time soon on all different sides of the political spectrum, call it a hunch.

Freedom used to mean being able to go to the damn grocery store without being terrified.

You are spectacularly uninformed.

Not surprising.

Handguns are used in FAR more shootings than rifles.

No, more of a statement of fact the gun nuts can't comprehend

I don't know of any other country on this globe where people get smoked just shopping or going to school by those who literally can purchase lethal firepower at their local department store.
